I already had a similar topic, but since that I playtested my army few times....
The tournament in which I want to use this list is in 2 weeks, and I really need some help... I know that few people have experience with this special rules and even low points games, but every thought, comment, critic and advice is more than welcome...

Here are the rules:

FOC:
1 HQ
2-6 TROOPS
0-1 ELITE OR 0-1 FAST ATTACK OR 0-1 HEAVY SUPPORT

Special rules:
1. No special characters
2. No models with wound 4+
3. No models with 2+ save
4. No ordnance weapons
5. Max AV 33 (front+side+rear)
6. No vehicles with 3 or more weapons

I think that's all...

Now for the list... I've been trying from scouts to full-equiped marines, over landspeeders and have came up with following...

HQ: 100
Librarian (avenger, might of the ancients): 100

TROOPS: 410
10x tac marines (flamer, ml, rhino): 205
10x tac marines (flamer, ml, rhino): 205

FAST ATTACK: 90
Land speeder typhoon (HB, typhoon ml): 90

HEAVY SUPPORT:
5x Devastator squad (4xml): 150

TOTAL: 750

I haven't playtested it yet, but I played with typhoon instead of a devestator, but the problem is FOC so I have to keep them in single squad... And if opponent goes first, they have to go into reserve or die first turn (and losing 24% of army turn 1 is pretty bad)... In that list I went with PF, but I feel in 750 it's a bit too much...

Biggest threat in 750pts are hordes... I tested it against ork green tide and won every time (with 2 landspeeders) that I went first, and lost every time I went second

With this list only problem is that I have only 4 ML's at my disposal so if I go this way I have to come up with two more MLs in two weeks

So hit me with comments

Oh, and it's played on 3x4 table...

WTF? those are some hard rules. no vehicles except for Rhinos, Rbacks and Landspeeders.



your list is ok, but Devestators are never worth it.

i would drop them for another Typhoon and to upgrade 1 of your Rhinos into a Razorback. it gives you more survivability(the instant your Devs take casualities you lose weapons) and increases your Anti-infantry firepower. you lose 2 Missiles for 2 more Heavy bolters(1 is Twinlinked)

It is some kind of extended combat pantrol

Here's the problem... I played with two typhoons and it is easy to lose both or disable both in single turn... For e.g. My friend plays warwalkers and those 24 shots take down both...

As for razor, i need fire points to flame hordes... That way i can flame and survive for another round to flame again....

I don't like devs but only hs choice i can take... And i need krak firepower

Well, our small tourney are starting again, so I have rebuilt my list... It happened that I misread the rule that you can have ONLY 1 of non-troop/HQ units:p

Here is my new list:

HQ: 100
Librarian (avenger, might of the ancient): 100

TROOPS:410
10x Tacsquad (flamer, ML): 170
+Dedicated Rhino: 35
10x Tacsquad (flamer, ML): 170
+Dedicated Rhino: 35

HEAVY SUPPORT: 225
5x Devestators (4xML): 150
+dedicated assault cannon razorback: 75

TOTAL: 735

On last tournament I took 2 landspeeders, but they got blown down pretty fast... I'm hoping that more armor with razorback and devs will have higer survivability (and I can use razorback as transport if I lose a rhino)...
