When is this tournament again?

 

Also, a lot of the time I've noticed that you deploy your transports side on. Is this simply to hide the back armour or is there some other purpose I'm not seeing?

 

You can PM the answer if there's too many spies watching your threads these days! haha

Its partly for the extra inch!  

The secondary reason is if they get blown up before movement (for seizes).

 

If they do, they are almost 2" closer to the enemy than they would facing front-on.  Also, if the fire-power coming their way is too heavy, or if they will march into a deathzone, I deploy behind the rhino, giving them full protection from further fire. 

 

Well spotted!

 

Tourney has been shifted to end November ^_^

Hey team, 

 

as practice for the BIG tournament coming up in Dec, i'm thinking of modding my list to be a little more like the one i'll take there.

Tricky. What overarching Detachment are you looking to use?

 

The first list gives you more balance throughout but does look a little light as 1k. The second goes in hard at 1k but if you are countered then what's left wont do much. It's going to depend on your meta more than anything and how much you want to win (and thus gamble) on the 1k games.

Hey guys, 

 

so, this was the final list:

 

Chaplain - auspex, vertias

Damocles

 

5x Tac- flmr

Razor - las/plas

5x Tac - mg

Razor - las/plas

 

Sicaran

Scorpius

 

3x Attack Bikes- 2MM, 1HB

Inquisitor - 3 skulls

 

+500

 

Skyhammer 

 

5x Dev - 2gravcannons

Pod

5x Dev - 2multimelta

Pod

 

5x ASM - vet, maul

5x ASM - mb

 

+500

 

DC Dread - claws, grapple

Furioso - fragcannon, mg

Pod

Raven - tlmm, tlac



The tournament was awesome.  Really great gaming.  Unfortunately a very, very poor turn out in terms of numbers. 

 

 

I played vs:

 

Orks (balanced list)

Astra Militarum with Assassins

Tyranids (6 flying hivies and other MCs)

Iron Hands (balanced list)

Orks (green tide list - ie: 100 boys in ONE squad!!!!)

Daemonkin (slaughtercult)

 

Weeeell - sad to say  ><; i forgot my camera! ><; and when i took it day 2, it ran out of batt - so :( not gonna do full reports.  

Maybe on the orky horde game, because it was the best game of the bunch.
