Hexfleet Virules R&H 1850 Tournament - San Antonio

Recommended Posts

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.

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!
