Travic Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 So I was invited to play in an invitational tournament early this week for tomorrow! I havent had much time to practice this week except for yesterday and today and my only opponent was a blood angels player who will be in the tournament. I have won 3 games so far versus him so I am feeling good. Last weekend I played 2k versus a Tau player and lost barely thanks to capture and control and due to some cheesy tactics. But hey it happens! For the tournament I plan on running the list I posted up here, hoping for some input - http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=244827 . My real question is I know I will be facing atleast 1 of each army type, off the tope of my head I can list Blood Angels Space Marines Eldar Dark Eldar IG Nids Dark Angels(consisting of only terminator squads?!?!?) Space Wolves ( only me yay!) Tau I am pretty sure I nailed them all! What I am hoping for is some tips so I can make it past round 1 xD and make my fellow fangs proud!

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Did you see your army list??!! :D I am pretty sure you can beat them at the shooty game with all that las-plas and ML fire. Even with an Apothecary, I don't see it being a good game for the DeathWing player!!

My original list consisted of Terminators and a Landraider and when I played versus Blood Angels and Tau it was like ewwwwwwwww waiste of points. So I swapped them out for the 2 packs of scouts and another pack of long fangs. THEN! My buddy was like with the extra points why not make a set of greyhunters in razorbacks, the 2 sets of 5 with the laz cannons. They can sit back and hold your objectives and provide fire which was brilliant! So the only issue im having now is if I want to ditch the 4 combi meltaguns for extra armor on the rhinos so no matter what my Rune Priest and troops can truck along regardless unless the bastard 4+'s me I am also debating if I want the Lasplaz or just Laz Cannons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244891-tournament-advice-needed/#findComment-2961195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vantius Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Your list looks good. Spend those last few points, and have fun. Good luck! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244891-tournament-advice-needed/#findComment-2961401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonSTeR Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 My quick question is... "how do you use the TL Assault Cannon razor backs with the long fangs? They're shrot range, whilst the MLs on the are long range? Do you find that the APCs move forwards, or do you keep then in direct support of the LFs to deal with anything that comes into range with a view to assaulting your heavy support?" Tradationally I've seen Las-Plas and/or TL-LCs on long fang support tanks, so I'm curious if you've found a secret weapon.

Tradationally I've seen Las-Plas and/or TL-LCs on long fang support tanks, so I'm curious if you've found a secret weapon. I initially thought of this question as well. However, after some thought, I realized why his list was this way. The transports for the long fangs will likely be empty from deployment on, so it makes since that they will be able to push forward (they are essentially their own individual units). Then the lasplas razorbacks set further back to provide long range support, with objective/homebase units inside. If these units were in the assault cannon razorbacks, they would be more exposed as the razorbacks get into position.

If these units were in the assault cannon razorbacks, they would be more exposed as the razorbacks get into position. The idea stated above is correct. I actually decided to go with Twin-Link Laz cannons on the Razorbacks with troops holding the objective and it worked out really really nice. Nothing ever really got close to it and most people left them alone until they popped an Orc Truck or a Eldar Ship. The tournament went pretty well, I came in 6th out of 16. My first game I played versus Orcs and it was down of war so when he moved in his 2 long rangs wagons after the sun rose I was in the clear. My scouts came in turn 2 behind both those tanks and BOOM nothing! He then used a named orc with a missile launcher, rolls double 5's and Zoinks right in the middle of my army turn 2! Yay for easy kill point. Long story short I won that game versus my Orc opponent, Game 2 Eldar - Not so lucky end of turn 6 he zoomed his speeders to my deployment zone to nab him that secondary objective and I zoomed my Land Speeders to claim the 2 objectives on the board sicne I was contesting them we tied in that objective but he won with being in my deployment zone :(. Game 3 was IG - we basicaly sat there all game shooting at each other. I won by holding the objective dead center with both my runepriest and since I killed off him only HQ he couldnt claim it. I also won table quarters by zooming my land speeders in to his 2 corners and using my razorbacks with the 5 greyhunters to claim the other table corner xD. 2:1, I came in 6th because my overall objective score for all 3 matches was not high enough :(. Not to shabby for only playing 3 weeks xD. There is a Grand Tournament coming up in 3 months if I can get my army painted and done I am thinking of probably using this list then. I only put it together on Thursday so going in to the tournament with just it on pen and paper wasnt probably the best idea but it sure did damage xD. Also thanks for all the input guys!
