Ok so here's the deal. There will be a fun all night tourney at my local shop. There will be 16 players, 3 rounds, with 4 players on each table ending on turn 5. This is no teams, just a blood bath between 4 corners. It doesn't look like a good recipe for us DE players. There will be objectives which is really good since I would be screwed if they were planning on doing their normal kill points they do for this tournament in the past. (first time for me going to it.)
My list...
HQ
Urien Rakarth - 190
Elites
3 Grotesques, Aberation with venom blade, +1 St and a liquifier gun with Urien in a Raider - 190
Troops
10 Kabolite Warriors, splinter cannon, Raider with Splinter Racks - 170
10 wracks, 2 liquifier guns, Raider - 190
5 warriors, in a venom with duel splinter cannons - 110
5 warriors, in a venom with duel splinter cannons - 110
Heavy Support
Ravager - 105
Ravager - 105
Talos Pain Engine, Twin linked Liquifier gun - 105
Some things I want to consider...
Should i bring an extra talos instead of a ravager? The idea being, small board and a lot of opponents. I could go last and see 3 people go before me and possibly knock it right out of the sky. The other heavy support I was thinking of bringing was a razorwing to combat any flyers. The normal group usually will bring a flyer in their tournament lists but I'm not sure how much I will see of that in this tournament since their will be then 3 other people with potential flyers which could mean just a bust in the air with another war instead of being able to concentrate on blowing some people up on the ground. Not sure what to expect on this one.
Do I split up the wracks into 2 groups of 5 and put them in venoms? That would help with some splinter fire. Only issue is then where do i get the extra points to pay for 2 transports instead of the 1 Raider?
I am a little worried about this tournament turning into a bust for me since my stuff is not meant to last long. If I hit a player hard and fast, and scare the other 2 players then they will probably both turn on me and try to take me out. Also, if I go last I have to some how find a way to keep all my transports or big guns alive long enough to see them do some damage.
