In a little over a month I will be playing my first 2000 points game for a number of years, quite possibly the first time I've played at this points level outside of Apocalypse since the 4th edition. As I don't really want to go down the proxy route, alternatives choices and options can be found on my blog. List One This list uses my most recent 1750 list as a basis. I consider this a "light-mech/mech" force. Mephiston Librarian ~ Force Axe ~ Shield and Fear Corbulo Furioso Dreadnought ~ Frag Cannon ~ Melta Gun ~ Magna Grapple ~ Drop Pod Assault Squad (5) ~ Melta Gun ~ Inferno Pistol, Power Sword, Melta Bombs ~ Razorback ~~ Twin-linked Heavy bolter Assault Squad (5) ~ Plasma Pistol ~ Plasma Pistol, Power Axe, Melta Bombs ~ Razorback ~~ Lascannon & Twin-linked Plasma Gun Death Company (8) ~ Power Fist (1) ~ Bolter (1) ~ Bolt Pistol, Power Sword (1) ~ Land Raider Scout Squad (5) ~ Sniper Rifle (4) ~ Heavy Bolter Attack Bike Squadron (1) ~ Multi Melta (1) Attack Bike Squadron (1) ~ Multi Melta (1) Predator Destructor ~ Lascannon Sponsons ~ Dozerblade, Stormbolter Stormraven ~ Twin-linked Multi Melta ~ Twin-linked Assault Cannon ~ Hurricane Bolters Here the plan is fairly simple. The "Fragioso" is the distraction while my force moves up. The Librarian rides with the Melta RAS in the Bolterback providing Shield, while Corbulo rides with the Plasma RAS in the Plaserback. The Predator moves with these along with the Attack Bikes, Mephiston and the Death Company in the Landraider which will undoubtedly be at the forefront. Together these move forward as one to deny space and take the fight to the enemy. The Scouts will arrive in the Stormraven for late objective claiming. List Two This alternative list is very different from what I have done recently and is a bit of a throwback to an older way of playing. It is also somewhat experimental as I will be trying out different tactics. I consider this a Hybrid force. Mephiston Librarian ~ Force Axe ~ Shield and Fear Corbulo Sanguinary Priest Furioso Dreadnought ~ Blood Talons ~ Heavy Flamer ~ Magna Grapple Assault Squad (5) ~ Melta Gun ~ Inferno Pistol, Power Sword, Melta Bombs ~ Razorback ~~ Twin-linked Heavy bolter Assault Squad (5) ~ Plasma Pistol ~ Plasma Pistol, Power Axe, Melta Bombs ~ Razorback ~~ Lascannon & Twin-linked Plasma Gun Tactical Squad (10) ~ Plasma Gun ~ Plasma Cannon Death Company (5) ~ Power Fist (1) ~ Bolter (1) Attack Bike Squadron (1) ~ Multi Melta Attack Bike Squadron (1) ~ Multi Melta Land Speeder Squadron (1) ~ Heavy Bolter ~ Typhoon Missile Launcher Stormraven ~ Twin-linked Multi Melta ~ Twin-linked Assault Cannon ~ Hurricane Bolters Dreadnought ~ Assault Cannon ~ Missile Launcher Devastator Squad (5) ~ Missile Launcher (3) ~ Heavy Bolter (1) This operates in three parts. The Sanguinary Priest, Dreadnought, Tactical Squad and Devastator Squad sit on a home objective. The Stormraven has the Death Company and a Furioso Dreadnought which will arrive and (hopefully) cause havoc later in the game. The Librarian rides with the Melta RAS in the Bolterback providing Shield, while Corbulo rides with the Plasma RAS in the Plaserback. Along with Mephiston, the Attack Bikes and the Land Speeder these rush along a flank to attempt to take apart my opponents piecemeal. Perhaps a Whirlwind instead of the Dreadnought? Thoughts?

My group is running a mini tournament and I'm on the fence about joining. Possible players: GK/Tau/Harlequins SoB/Necrons Nids/DG/LoV BA (me) the organiser has GSC/Emperor's Spears and is on the bench. As you can see, they kinda want me to attend... Tournament outline is as follows: So, there's some interesting stuff in there, but the missions sound weird. Imagine they will change going forward (especially mission 1...)
