1250 Tournament

Fellow Archons:

A tournament approaches this Saturday and I am filled with a desire to drink the tears of my opponents (without being too big of a Jerk). There will likely be Tau, Eldar, Necrons, Space Marines of all flavors, Tyranids, and (the reigning champion) Daemons.

This is what I could make on my phone upon learning about said tournament.

Head Quarters
Succubus with Agonizer 85

Elites
5 Incubi in Raider with Night Shields 180

Troops
5 Kabalite Warriors with Blaster in Venom with Night Shields 135
5 Kabalite Warriors with Blaster in Venom with Night Shields 135
5 Kabalite Warriors with Blaster in Venom with Night Shields 135
5 Kabalite Warriors in Venom with Night Shields 120

Heavy Support
Ravager with Night Shields 115
Ravager with Night Shields 115
Razorwing Jetfighter with Dark Lances and Flicker Fields 155

Fortification
Imperial Bastion

The Plan Strategy
The idea here is to prevail by minimizing the effectiveness of enemy shooting. The Night Shields accomplish this particularly well against some units (most Necrons, Tau firing lines) but against others (Tau Hammerheads, Devastators to a certain extent). The Bastion is a giant line of sight blocking bunker that is tough, but not impossible to kill that can also contribute meaningfully in the shooting phase. Destroying the Bastion does not actually achieve much--it awards no kill points and never removed as a piece of terrain. It can also be used for bluffing, forcing certain types of deployments, and reducing the effectiveness of Quad-guns.

The rest of the list is fairly standard. Personally, I like to have a flair unit (typically an assault unit) so I have my Incubi and they typically do well.

Thoughts?

You all got nothing to say?

A good start.

I'd take third Ravager instead of Jet. Solo flyer is not relient enough. It may stay in reserves until T4 and then it's too late to affect the outcome of the game. Quadgun would be great if you are taking the bastion for cover.

Succubus would benefit from venom blade more than Agonizer. You also don't have assault grenades for Incubi.

Our fliers are nowhere near as good as our ravagers. my advice is this

extra Ravager

Succubus with Venom Blade and assault grenades

and quad gun, pew pew stupid Flying Machines.
