Lagrath Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So there is a new store called Tabletop that is trying to drum up attention by holding a tournament every other month with hundreds of dollars in prizes. The store seems pretty cool and so people are coming in from other Texas cities, with an attending of probably 30-40 people. I decided to make the trek down to the store tomorrow from Austin, and I've been working for weeks on developing a list. The rules are 1850, no duplicate detachments, battleforged, 3 detachments max, some LoWs banned, BAO scenarios for all 3 missions. Here is what I decided to bring using this format: Hexfleet Virules 1850 Army – “The Harvest of Vraks” Unending Host Detachment (Vraksian Renegades and Heretics) [Primary Detachment] HQ Renegade Command Squad: 1x Arch Demagogue (Master of the Horde Devotion, Covenant of Nurgle), 4x Disciples, lasguns Troops Renegade Platoon: 45x Renegades #1 Platoon Command: 15x Renegades, frag grenades, lasguns, 3 flamers #2 Renegade Squad: 15x Renegades, frag grenades, lasguns, 3 flamers #3 Renegade Squad: 15x Renegades, frag grenades, lasguns, 3 flamers Renegade Platoon: 45x Renegades #4 Platoon Command: 15x Renegades, frag grenades, lasguns, 3 flamers #5 Renegade Squad: 15x Renegades, frag grenades, lasguns, 3 flamers #6 Renegade Squad: 15x Renegades, frag grenades, lasguns, 3 flamers 10x Plague Zombie Mob 10x Plague Zombie Mob Heavy Support Renegade Rapier Laser Destroyer Battery: 3x Rapiers, 5x crew, weapons training Combined Arms Detachment (Vraksian Renegades and Heretics) HQ Renegade Command Squad: 1x Arch Demagogue, 4x Disciples, laspistols, close combat weapons Troops 10x Plague Zombie Mob 10x Plague Zombie Mob Heavy Support Renegade Rapier Laser Destroyer Battery: 3x Rapiers, 5x crew, weapons training Renegade Rapier Laser Destroyer Battery: 3x Rapiers, 5x crew, weapons training Renegade Strike Battery: 4x Renegade Wyverns, 4 heavy flamers The Purge Detachment (Chaos Space Marines) HQ 1x Sorcerer, bolt pistol, force sword Elites 1x Mutilator 1x Mutilator Heavy Support 1x Maulerfiend, lasher tendrils 1x Maulerfiend, lasher tendrils 1x Maulerfiend, lasher tendrils 1x Fire Raptor, 2 reaper autocannon batteries, balefire missiles I feel really good about this list, having spent a lot of time tweaking it and practicing different versions. Once my next 3 rapiers arrive in the mail, in the future I will probably drop 1 Maulerfiend for another 3 Rapier Laser Destroyers + putting krak grenades on all 90 infantry. However, I feel like this is a really strong list because it has so many high-priority targets...I really, really wish I had just 20 extra points so that I could put in 2 autocannons and make the Command Squads useful, but this is as much as I can stretch the requirements of the 3 detachments.

Uprising Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 This is a really strong list, I means really. The only thing I can suggest a squad of plague zombies from main(unless you need four troops choice for unending horde), and get autocannons or lascannons.

Lagrath Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Yeah, sadly you do need 4 troops choices in Unending Host. With the Purge added on, that's 6 troops choices. But good thing the Vraks book apparently lets you take more than 1 zombie unit! 10 zombies cost the same as 10 mutants (which I had before), but are a million times better!

King Jackal Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Drop 2 Lasher Tendrils for Autocannons? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304587-hexfleet-virules-rh-1850-tournament-san-antonio/#findComment-3976582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
