The local GW store is holding a tournament next weekend, and I'm debating on whether or not to join in.
Pertinent tournament info:
The Missions are:
1 Purge The Alien
2 The Scouring
3 The Relic
Time limit of 2 hours 30 minutes for each game.
Deployment will be Hammer and Anvil as per the 40K rules. Terrain will be fixed in place.
Army Lists handed in, you need your codex, gaming supplies including the Munitorum Battlefield Objectives markers in order to complete the Scouring Scenario etc.
Points will be awarded 3 for a win, 2 for a tie and 1 for a loss.
Paint and Sportsmanship scoring will also be in effect 0 - 3 points per.
No Forgeworld and all models must be correctly represented and fully primed as a minimum. Double force organisation may be used.
Based on the local meta here at the store, I'm expecting to come across a lot of power armor and IG gunline backup, along with a good amount of flyers.
My current collection has the following:
3 Haemonculus w/Liquifier Gun
5 Incubi
8 Wracks
1 Acothyst w/Agonizer
1 Acothyst w/Liquifier Gun
1 Archon w/blast pistol, venom blade
1 Duke Sliscus
1 Baron Sathonyx
1 Succubus
9 Jetbikes
-3 blasters
14 Hellions
14 Wyches
-1 Shardnet & Impaler
2 Hekatrix
-2 Agonizers, 1 splinter pistol, 1 blast pistol
20 Kabalite Warriors
-1 Dark Lance
16 Kabalite Trueborn
-1 Dark Lance
-3 Splinter Cannons
-2 Blasters
-2 Shredders
-8 splinter rifles
2 Sybarites
-2 Venom blades, 2 splinter pistols, 2 PGL
1 Cronos w/spirit syphon
-1 Talos w/TL Haywire Blasters, TL Liquifier Gun

3 Venoms w/Splinter Cannons
3 Raiders w/Dark Lances
2 Ravagers w/Dark Lances

Based on the missions, deployment (CURSE YOU HAMMER AND ANVIL), and my current arsenal, I think it'd be a fun way to spend the day, but I'd have almost no shot at winning. Aside from adding in the defense line & quad gun (I didn't put it in my list because I stilll have to update my BattleScribe repositories), what changes can I make to this list to help ensure the best performance?
