norngahl Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I won a local 750pts tournament last night. Restriction was Patrol Detachment only and no special chars. I showed up with: Iron Warriors Demon Prince, Wings, pair of claws, slaanesh, IW Armour, Warptime, IW Warlord Trait giving fearless 6" 39 Cultists, Slaanesh 3 Obliberators, Slaanesh 9 Havocs, 4 Lascannons, Slaanesh The demon prince stood in the middle of the Cultists providing fearless and pushed them forward with warptime. At the time they took too many losses I used the Tide of Traitors strategem. To make it short- it was pretty devasting, tabled two enemies (Guard and Black Templar) and left a third with only a razorback. Does anyone else have to share some experiences at these points levels and some other nice lists?

bozo69pd Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Iron warrior DP + cultists can do work. I usually don't have wings on him because he just marches in the cultist donut formation (yum cultists, I say he eats the ones that fail moral). I am glad to hear the lascannon havocs performed well. Did they use the shoot twice stratagem? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344734-small-tournaments-750-1000pts/#findComment-5018541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekhitar Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 That's a pretty vicious list at 750. I can see it performing well! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344734-small-tournaments-750-1000pts/#findComment-5019468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazSexington Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Cultist bomb at sub-1000 is incredible. It's good at higher levels, but the pure damage output is intense at lower level games, especially if you're not facing armoured lists. My optimised 1000pt list for a CSM patrol would be something like Alpha Legion Chaos Lord Sorcerer 2x40 Cultists, MoS 1-2 Dakkadreads Khorne Berzerkers maybe? I'd take two groups of Cultists purely because I can infiltrate and absolutely flood the table (and I don't like the CP-intensity of autopass morale and recycle). Good luck deep striking into a 4x4' table with 80+ models on one side.

EL_duderino Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) God, those lists look vicious I was struggling with writing a 1k list for a small store tournament these last weeks.I endeavor to play pure WE, so that is not the most optimal thing right off the bat After some deliberation I finished in the middle after tabling opponent 2 (new 'Nid) and 3 (Be'lakor + Bloodletters + Crushers). List was:DP on foot w/ Talisman of Burning BloodDark Apostle 2x Berserkers, icon, chainaxe + chainsword, 1x power sword 2x Rhino 10 Cultists w/Pistol + CCWHelbrute, fist + mutimeltaPredator w/AC and hvy boltersFirst game I lost by points vs Orks: He Da Jump'd in my backfield with 30 Boyz and chewed up my DP in turn 1, netting him First Blood and Slay the Warlord. I killed his Nobs on foot, Banner bearer, the mob that killed my DP and 3 Killa Kans, staying out of the way of his remaining 30 Boyz with Warboss.The idea behind my list was that a) I play WE, including holy numbers, with b ) a decent number of CP (bataillon, Zerks are troops already anyway) and c) that there is potential to delete blobs. The Predator also worked a charme, killing Tyranid Warriors and Bloodcrushers with his AC while providing heavy bolters for the smaller infantry, and the Zerks where fantastic in deleting Boyz and Genestealers. With +1 to wound they were even able to hurt Be'lakor after being decimated.I felt like I lacked mobility, so since the next tournament was upped to 1250pts I'm gonna add 2x5 Raptors with 2x plasma gun and 2x plasma pistol each and 3 Bikes with 2x flamer and combiflamer, as well as switching the DP for an Exalted Champion w/ power sword (Murder Sword?) and Chaos Lord w/ jump pack, combiplas, claw.I'm a little worried about multiple high T targets - I don't have much in the way of dealing with that, and last year some people showed up to the last rendition of the upcoming tournament with such things as a Knight or pure Dreadnoughts in 1000pts Edited February 26, 2018 by EL_duderino Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344734-small-tournaments-750-1000pts/#findComment-5019754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I used to dislike dreadnoughts but they kind of have grown on me. I like the normal one more than the...veteran/blinged out one (though I'll get those for my Grey Knights.)
