1000pts list for local Tournament

Hi Brothers,

Got a 1000pt tournament planned at the beginning of the year and finding it difficult to make a list I like.
Trying to cover most aspects and came up with this:

HQ: 150

Crowe - 150

Elite: 315

5 Paladins - 315
1. psycannon, halberd
2. psycannon, sword
3. Sword
4. Hammer
5. halberd

Troop: 400

5x Purifier - 200
- Razorback, Psybolt Ammo, 2x Halberd, 2x psycannon, 1x Daemon Hammer, Searchlight

5x Purifier - 200
- Razorback, Psybolt Ammo, 2x Halberd, 2x psycannon, 1x Daemon Hammer, Searchlight

Heavy: 135

Dreadnought - 135
-2 TLAC, Psy Ammo

Total = 1000

If you guys have any ideas/thoughts or advice that'll be awesome.

No one

I have just begun the transcendancy in the honoured chapter (only just started collecting) so my input is anything but gospel.

Crowe - Not really a fan, but that's personal

I like the Paladin Squad as the loadout means that you will need to suffer 6 wounds before you remove a model...nice.

Since you have searchlights I am assuming that you have a good chance of playing a game with the night fighting rule.

Assault cannons with Psybolt are amazing, plus re rolling your misses can't really hurt. The only thing that I can think of is weapons to take down AV14 as in theory you could face a Vanilla SM army with two raiders.....

Overall it seems like a very sold list, lots of shooting from psycannons and some okay assault, but personally I think you're wasting too many points on Crowe just to get 10 purifiers as troops. There's also the fact that while paladins are nice for only a (relative) few points more you can get 10 termies. Personally I'd be inclined to swap out Crowe for a regular BC, the Purifiers for strike squads and replace the pallies with a bigger squad of termies, still gives you plenty of strength, but more flexibility with things like combat squadding.

Hi all,

After finding out what some people are planning to bring, my LGC has come up with a fixed set of rules:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M88As-6p55vHUW5obukx0UVLL6km_zhsqoHbxG2gQr4/edit?pli=1

In short, nothing in the book can be duplicated, including Dedicated Transport.

So had these ideas:

List 1:

HQ: 605

Mordrak - 400
- 5x Ghost Knights

Librarian - 205
- Warp Rift, Quicksilver, Shrouding, Summoning, Might of Titan, 3x Servo Skulls, Teleport Homer

Troops: 395

5x Terminators - 225
- 4x Halberd, 1x Daemon Hammer, 1x Psycannon

5x Grey Knight Strike Squad - 170
- Razorback+Psybolt ammo, 1x Psycannon, 2x Halberd

Total = 1000

List 2:

HQ: 100

Coteaz - 100

Elite: 335

10x Purifiers - 335
- Rhino, 4x Psycannon, 5x Halberd, 1x Daemon Hammer

Troops: 415

5x Grey Knight Strike Squad - 170
- Razorback+psy ammo, 1x Psycannon, 2x Halberd

Warband - 245
- Chimera, 6 Death Cult Assassin, 3x Multi-melta Servitors, 2x Jokaero

Heavy: 135

Dreadnought - 135
- 2x TLAC, Psy ammo

Total = 985

List 3:

HQ: 64

OXI - 64 ( with Purifiers )
- Rad, Psychobroke, 3x Servo-skulls

Elite: 265

8 Purifiers - 265
- Rhino, 2x Psycannon, 4x Halberd, 1x Daemon Hammer

Troop: 345

5x Terminators - 225
- 4x Halberd, 1x Daemon Hammer, 1x Psycannon

5x Grey Knight Strike Squad - 120
- 1x Psycannon, 2x Halberd

Heavy: 325

Dreadnought - 135
- 2x TLAC, Psy ammo

Dreadnight - 190
- Great Sword, Gatling Psylencer

Total = 999

Any thoughts or ideas?

For the first list i think you've spent way too much on HQ's! Granted, mordrak brings 5 ghostknights, but its still 400 points on hq! 40%! i would probably drop the librarian and bring the termie squad up to 10 the 2nd and 3rd list are of a type i don't really have experience with, so i'm not going to comment on them!

hope this helps

Thanks Requiem

The main reason to put Mordrak in was for the 4th scenario. The scenario states that you have to get as many units in the opponents deployment zone. So with Mordrak & Libby, I could potentially get everyone in quite quickly and Mordrak's unit will be classed as scoring in that scenario.

No duplicates??? /facepalm

Seriously what is with these theme of 'comp' coming up again and again recently....

It may be done to stop people taking cut throat lists, but it screws the weak codex WORSE than it does the good ones.....
The restrictions of taking multiples of SIMILAR units particularly..

It does make it difficult to come up with a decent list.
Have to admit, Grey Knights being point hungry, I am finding it difficult to cover most bases.
