Upcoming 2K Tournament (Need some Help)

Ok so like the title says, It is 2K with single FOC. Standerd Missions from the book with Nova Style terrain. 3 Ruins one in each corner and one in the middle forming a line across the diagonal middle, one hill in each opposite corner then the buildins and area terrain in the middle of each long table edge.

R A H

Ok so here goes the list

The Duke
Haemie w/ Liquifier

20 Warriors w/ 2 Splinter Cannons

3 X 10 Warriors w/ Splinter Cannon
Raiders with Nightfields and Splinter Racks

5 Wyches w/ Haywire
Venom / Dual Cannons and Nightfields

2 X 5 Trueborn w/ 4 Blasters 1 Splinter Cannon
Venoms w/ Splinter cannons and nightfields

2 Ravagers w/ Dissies

1 Razorwing w/Flickerfields

Aegis Defense line w/ Quad Gun

(Now the questions I have, besides any welcome C&C)

Is the Quad that much better then the Icarus Lascannon?

Are 2 Dissie Ravagers better then 2 Razorwing fighters?

These are where the points are being played with. I added the 5th Trueborn to each squad with the Splinter Cannon due to having the points to spend.

So any thoughts would be welcome, the Tournament is this Saturday.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Ravagers are best with DL. So drop the dissies. We dont need much AI, we get that from our venoms. Same goes for 20man warrior group. I would have 5man groups with 1 blaster. Aswell as you dont need the SC in the blastbord group.

I dont like the use of Aegis defensivline in DE.

You can see what list I myself bring to turnements here

Thats a 1750pts list and I have lots more AT, AI than you got. And against flyers I just spam all I got. Going to get some sixes.

Home it helps

Dissie Ravagers are sort of useless if you're going to bring Venoms they can handle and AI. DL are best for ravagers.

Personally I prefer 3 ravagers over any air, for the simple following reason. the more you have fielded on turn 1, the more you force your oppenent to choose what to target. since everything in your army packs a punch, one of those punches is going to get through and wreck them. Also, with flyers they are statistically on the board for only 1/2 to 1/3 of the game. having one flyer for some board control can be good or just to deal with enemy flyers but 2 of them is asking for death versus most meta armies. simply put, ravagers are there from turn 1 and flyers are not.

hope this helps

It does help, thank you. I have been running two fliers and finding them a bit lacking. But in my local meta there are a lot of chaos players with helldrakes and IG players with Vendettas. So I need something to assist with those fliers. I want to drop one flier for the Aegis line for Second turn Interceptor Guad gun. With the Duke behind the line with 20 Warriors, I may swap out the Splinter Cannons for additional Dark Lances for long range support.

The reason I was running the Dissies on the Ravagers is due to the lack of any major Vehicles and the abundance of Term and 2+ saves I have been facing. Dissie Ravavgers are amazing for Clearing out 2++ infantry.

When you deal with flyers there's two ways to go about it. the ADL is cool and works but DE are so maneuverable that with practice you can take maybe 1-r rounds of shooting from the flyer and evade it the rest of the game because it's either not in LoS or its not on the board yet, or it flew off etc. 1 diddie, 1 flyer and 1 ADL might work well, never tried it out myself.
