1750 Tourney List

Hello together,

I am currently in the process of building a list for an all comers tourney where I will be facing different armys.

The main design criteria for this list are:

- Have enough firepower for AV and AT.
- Be mobile.
- Have lots of Standard for Missions (and because I love playing standard heavy lists).
- Do not necessarily use raiders as gunboats, don´t be afraid to zoom around empty and use the troops on foot, in mission objectives etc.
- Include some flamers for those pesky drop pods and their juicy insides (I love liquifiers).
- Have the Succubus join the Wracks, have the Haemi join the Witches (FNP is nice for witches).

The List:

HQ1: Haemi, Poison Blade, Liquifier (Wracks are Standard)
HQ2: Succubus, Poison Blade, Blaster Pistol (I8 Challanges are awesome)

Elite1: 6 Trueborn, 2 Lances

Std1: 6 Wracks, 1 Liquifier, Raider with Dissintegrator and Nightfield
Std2: 6 Witches, Grenades, Hekatrix with Poison Blase, Raider with Dissintegrator and Nightfield
Std3: 10 Warriors, 1 Blaster, 1 Splintercannon, Raider with Dissintegrator and Nightfield
Std4: 10 Warriors, 1 Blaster, 1 Splintercannon, Raider with Dissintegrator and Nightfield
Std5: 5 Warriors, 1 Blaster, Venom with additional Splintercannon
Std6: 5 Warriors, 1 Blaster, Venom with additional Splintercannon

Fast1: 3 Jetbikes with one Heatlance
Fast2: 3 Jetbikes with one Heatlance

Heavy1: Ravager with 3 Lances and a Nightfield
Heavy2: Ravager with 3 Lances and a Nightfield
Heavy3: Nightraven with 2 Lances, Nightfield

Points 1740 of 1750

I am looking forward to feedback and a good idea what to switch or where to spend the last 10 points

Thanks and many greetings from Germany.

Hello and welcome. Greetings from Scotland!

Your list is a pretty good mech army, but I have some suggestions:

Adding haemi to wyches is fine as a pain token is very useful, just be aware that it can slow down the wyches when it comes to an assault (you can detach it from the unit just before assault if needed).

Not sure about how useful a blast pistol will be. You need to be at point blank range & it won't add much to what the liquifier can do in the wrack squad. Useful points saved.

Troops (i.e. Standards) are fine and you have plenty of them. I might mix in a couple more dark lances on the raiders, but that's just personal taste. Don't expect too much from 6 wyches backed up by a haemonculus! I assume they have haywire grenades, so at least they can threaten tanks? Night Shields are of debatable value..I've moved away from them as you can save heaps of points if you drop them. You also mentioned not necessarily gunboating with them, another reason to leave off the shields.

The 3-man jetbike squads are probably too easy to blow away unless you intend to hide them all game - I would make them into a single 6-man unit and add an arena champion to improve leadership (that's your spare 10 points).

I assume the Nightraven is the Voidraven? Switch night shields for flickerfields as this will mean you never have to evade & will keep your shooting at max potential.

The trueborn are a little heavy on numbers - if you cut them back to a min unit size (3), you can save points, then if you drop some or all of the night shields & the blast pistol (up to 111pts saved) you can easily afford another 3-man unit with dark lances! Or a venom transport to fly around empty. Or a 3-man trueborn squad with splinter cannon + venom (111pts). You need to max out the damage potential of the army, so I would definitely make this kind of change to the list, even to the slight detriment to survivability.

Hope that helps!

Hello,

thanks for the help!

I have modified the list and played a game with it yesterday. The outcome of that battle can be found in the battlereports

Thanks again.
