1500pts Doubles - Raven Guard and Salamanders

[The Red Angel]

Hi guys,

 

so got a doubles tournament coming up in August and decided on Raven Guard, my partner is taking Salamanders.

 

Obviously I have no control over what my partner takes, however it looks solid:

 

Praetor, Cataphractii Armour, Paragon Blade, Dragon Scale Shield

 

5 Firedrakes

 

2 x 10 man tacticals

 

Spartan

2 x Predator - melta turret, flame sponsons.

 

 

My list looks like this currently:

 

ROW: Decapitation Strike

 

+ Alvarex Maun - Cameoline -145pts

 

+ Contemptor-Cortus - Dreadnought Chainfist, Close combat weapon, 2 x grav guns - 175pts

 

+ Mor Deythan - Artificer Armour on Shade, 5 x combi weapon - flamers?, Rhino - dozer blade - 220pts

 

+ 2 x Tactical Squad - 10 man, Artificer Armour, Power sword, vexilla - 330pts (165pts each)

 

+ Anvillus Dreadclaw - 115pts

 

+ Seeker Squad - 10 man, Artificer Armour - 265pts

 

+ Fire Raptor Gunship - Armoured Ceramite, Reaper Auto Cannons, Hellstrike Missiles - 250pts

 

Total: 1500pts

 

The plan was for Maun to join the seekers and infiltrate somewhere with good vantage points.

 

2 Tacticals to infiltrate into cover near objectives to either claim them first turn or wait out/provide fire support.

 

The Contemptor drops in the anvillus first turn, flat outs to cover near one of my opponents big tanks or a priority target.

 

Mor Deythan infiltrate, scout in their rhino, move 6", disembark 6" and use fatal strike to unload 5 twin linked, rending flamers at something first turn

 

Seekers to unload AP2 on any terminators etc

 

Dreadclaw drops the Contemptor 2nd turn to go eat a tank of tie up a difficult unitwhile other elements move into position.

 

Fire raptor comes in 2nd turn (re rollable 3+) and starts smoking tanks and power armour.

 

All this hopefully alongside the inevitable advance of the Salamanders where hopefully (if our opponent is smart) they'll be chucking a lot of firepower at the Spartan.

 

With the option to re roll the dice to see who deploys first/ goes first and a re roll to seize the initative, should cause some havoc across the board as a lot of moving parts and differing target priority.

 

Let me know any opinions

 

Cheers

List looks pretty solid actually! If you can find points to put a multi-melta on the Rhino, you'd be golden! Maybe drop the AC from the Fire Raptor - not really necessary.

 

And yes, combi-flamers on the Mor Deythan will be brutal. :)

Cheers man, swapped AC on the raptor for a multi melta and extra armour on the rhino

Looks solid. The combo flames will eat units, they are above the spartan in my books as the thing that must die right now. No one wants to be on the end of that. Personally I'm a big fan on sneaking melta bombs into things like seekers as they are prime targets for dread assaults but maybe that's me being a little paranoid about not getting the most out of my AP2 bolters.
