upcoming tournament...

So, I've got a little tournament in a month. It's the 17th annual one, points limit is 1250. There will be no necrons, there will be IG, tau using farsight suit list, gk and a half a dozen marine lists. I have available just about everything ba, only a pair of ravens tho.

 

Anyone have any thoughts? I'm tempted to bring a meph, since he is a versatile counter and will take some killing in small points games but he is a lot of points himself...

I'd bring mephiston. He's pretty tough, so in 1250 I think people will be hard pressed to deal. However, I think a tactical squad in a land raider would be better. Raider's I think Raiders are great and at 1250 I just can't imagine there being enough stuff on the table to take it on.

Mephiston is tough, but if even four plasma guns can be brought to bear against him...

Bring a daka pred, there cheap and pour out the fire power. 

So a couple of variations for comment from peoples tomorrow:

 

Meph

 

Sang Priest + single Lightning Claw (will accompany squad with P. Axe)

 

RAS (5) + P Sword/Flamer, Razorback +Twin-linked Assault cannon

RAS (5) + P. Axe, Meltagun, Razorback + Lascannon/twin-linked Plasmaguns

Tac Squad (10) +Flamer/Lascannon (mainly for boots on the ground - feeling a little light with only 10 troops without these guys)

 

Then either

A ) 5 Death Company (1 P sword, 1 P fist) in a drop-pod and 225 pts spare - probably a pair of predators (1 dakka, 1 with las sponsons)

 

B ) 5 DC as above in a Landraider Crusader with MM

 

C ) No DC but 2 Vindicators and a dakka Predator

 

Option A gives a backfield attack that should disrupt opponent and might take out some of their fire support (IG weapon teams/etc) but will probably die and some AV13 fire support. Option B gives a hard-hitting assault unit in a hard target (but its a singel hard target and may get countered, also with Meph around thats nearly half my army in 2 models). Option C gives more AV13 fire support and should take a lot of heat off the rest of my army until those pie-plate throwers are dead, but may struggle if I get a couple of bad misses in early shooting.

 

I'm thinking of ignoring fliers where possible - no-one had very many so at most I am expecting maybe 1 helldrake if the chaos player takes it but I dont think he has assembled and painted it yet... I do expect the Tau to have a single riptide, and the rest of my opponents are likely to be Grey Knights, Black Templars ( he will just want to charge), generic SM, Chaos Marines and IG. Doubt there will be an ork player unfortunately (numbers are odd at the moment and if so he'll adjudicate on rules issues).
