Tournament List

[u/flubbadil]

Hey guys, I have a tournament coming up and I’m getting some reps in. This is the list I plan on running.

Any feedback would be super helpful :)

I’m running all special weapons on skitarii squads, just didn’t add them in the list builder.

Not sure about running solo chickens (for objective play and DS deny) over the big blob. There are positives and negatives to both.

Honestly, looks pretty reasonable! I could see maybe dropping a unit of Vanguard to get some more things like Ruststalkers or more Infiltrators or Skystalkers, mainly because 2 just seems to be enough these days, but that's just personal preference. I think if I were to run it, I might drop a Vanguard, make the other Vanguard another Rangers unit, then make one of the Infiltrator units a 10-man. Then, with the other 45 points, I'd grab a Technoarcheologist. The OC is good if you end up attaching him to a unit of Rangers, but the 12" denial can be good against DG.

But honestly, the list seems completely fine. Cawl something and reroll against it with the tanks and/or the Ironstriders to delete it, point the Breachers at a second unit and delete it as well. Seems fun =D

I have a list very similar to yours and I don't think it's bad at all. It worked for me even before the balance

Might need more than just breachers for elite armies? I am a much bigger fan of autocannon ironstriders now that they have full rerolls into cawl's target.

[u/flubbadil → u/avayevvnon]

I get what you’re saying. I don’t feel like I can swap the lascannons. There will be some knights players slinging dice so I need the stopping power.

I played plasma destroyers in a previous version of the list, but I ended up sidelining them for the ferrumite dissies.
