2000 Pt Tournament List Help

[Tweaks]

Hey all,

I'm currently looking to build a 2000 pt Salamanders list that would be competitive for tournament play.

I have around 5000 pts of Salamanders in which to choose from.

 

After doing a little bit of research online, I've not really found too many Tournament lists to build from.

 

Here's a list of what I currently own.

 

HQ:

 

Lord Chaplain Nomus Rhy'tan

Cassian Dracos

Legion Preator (With and without Terminator Armour)

Legion Centurion(s) (Legion Champion, Master of Signal, Librarian)

 

Troops:

 

20 Tactical Marines

20 Tactical Support (10 with flamers, 10 with magnetized weapon options)

4 Legion Rhinos

 

Elites:

 

2 Apothecaries

1 Contemptor (/Mortis) Dreadnought (Magnetized weapon options)

3 Legion Rapier Laser Destroyer Arrays

5 Legion Tartaros Terminators (Power weapons / Combi Weapons)

5 Firedrake Terminators (Thunder Hammer / Storm Shields)

 

Fast Attack:

 

None yet.

 

Heavy Support:

 

1 Deredeo Pattern Dreadnought (Magnetized Hellfire Cannonade / Aiolos Missile Launcher / Anvilus Pattern Autocannons)

1 Legion Basilisk

5 Legion Heavy Support (Lascannons)

1 Land Raider Phobos

1 Land Raider Proteus

1 Land Raider Spartan

1 Legion Vindicator (Demolisher Cannon)

1 Legion Whirlwind Scorpius

1 Sicaran Venator Tank Destroyer (Mangetised sponson options)

10 Pyroclasts (2 Sergeants with magnetised weapon options

 

Lord of War:

 

Legion Glaive Special Weapons Tank (Not going to fit in a 2k list)

Vulkan

 

 

I've got those to work with, also happy to buy additional options if the argument for owning them is good enough.

 

Thanks in advance!

Legion Astartes [XVIII: Salamanders]

 

 

The aim here is to turn the Pyroclasts in the scouting proteus in a hard to kill deathball.

With the Apothecary, Librarian and Praetor, they should be able to compete with most other units.

Turn 2, get in to combat with 2+ saves all round, and a librarian buffing the squad to boot.

Umm I don't think you can post points costs on here like that.

 

But as to the army:

Seems like you're making a mini Death Star that just won't hold up to any counter assault unit at all.

All the legion hth units all beat your small squad.

Any terminator squad

Raptors

Gal vorbak

Imperial fist

Ultras

 

You seem to be lacking punch to the army. The strategy of a single land raider, dumping that average short range squad on people, while the rest of the army hangs back and throws out pot shots at armour, seems like a bad idea.

 

They will for sure kill something if they get an alpha strike, but the return damage will ruin them. It's like a mini Spartan dearhstar. If you had more firepower to hang back and shoot it should work, but if they out gun you and you are forced to engage them, I think it will be rather difficult.
