Tourny lists

[Glendor]

I wanted to know what list you have used in tournaments and how they did and what you would change. Also if you could say how well you did would be great. Both mech and DOA would be great. If this is the wrong place i am sorry

Not entirely sure on whether or not this is the right place or not... I'll post and if it gets moved, it gets moved.

 

Before I write out a list, I would like to mention a few units that are stars in the games I play.

 

Mephiston: Our chief librarian is a staple in any tourny list I run. Some people disagree on running him, they say he's too fragile with no invul save. In all the tournament games I've played since the our new codex came out (About 8 or 9 games total) I can think of maybe one game where Mephiston didn't make his points back, plus a good chunk. Now that is not to say I advise thinking about your tournament lists like that, but with Mephiston, his inability to join squads, and the fact that he moves faster than pretty much the rest of the army means that you have to think about him like that.

 

Assault squads: Man, RAS in Rhinos are a force to be reckoned with. As you'll see in the list I'll detail below I played three in a 1250 tournament (the low points was due to it being a Toys-for-tots event.) And due to them along with a healthy helping of Mephiston, I table 4 of my 5 opponents, even when Objectives were on the board. The only reason I didn't win the tournament is I got tabled my first round by misdeploying against a Tyranids MC list.

 

Sanguinary Priests: As far as I'm concerned, these are the bread and butter of any ground pounding Assault force that we can muster.

 

And now: the list:

For those of you keeping points at home, you will notice this list is actually 26 points under 1250.

 

The only thing I would have changed was, as I mentioned earlier, my deployment in my first game. Everything else in this list was solid.
