Looking to finalize my 1,500 for the tournament in Brea on the 3rd. The tournament has comp which is subjective and scored by other players.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/481322.page#4926943

Here is the list.

HQ & warlord= the blue scribes

Troops
5 horrors, bolt, changeling
5 horros, bolt

Elites
15 flamers. I have not settled on squad size yet. Debating between 9/3/3, 5/5/5, or 6/4/5

FA
12 screamers, I have not settled on squad size yet. Debating between 9/3 or 6/6

Allied IG

HQ
CCS

Troops
PCS
IS *4

Elites
Marbo

FA
1 vendetta


Leftover points=4AC and a flamer for the ig. Thinking of placing all of the upgrades in the 4 regular infantry squads.

Options: The only real option I see with the models I have ready is to dump 1 screamer to add an ac for the ccs and 3 flamers for the regular infantry squads.

I would go 2 units of 6 Screamers. They need to hit hard when they hit, and should have at least 3-4 models doing the hittin'! Honestly, a single unit of 9 is fine. Some opponents will do everything they can to get rid of that unit, and it's amusing to know that in that sense you are controlling their actions on the tabletop.. 2x 6 screamers is amazing though, and certainly spreads enemy fire around.

Regarding flamers, 5/5/5 is lolz and will probably make grown men shed a tear or two.

That's what I have been using and it's been working out well for me.
