There is a 750 point tourney at the local gaming store soon. You can have two army list, same codex. Must have the 1 HQ, 2 troop choices. However, you are restricted to 250 points per entry on the FOC. 1 fast attack, 1 elite, 1 heavy. Restricted as it gets. Being IG, it hurts a bit with the way the platoons are counted for points, pcs and squads are all one together. So, here are my two lists.

List 1: Auto cannon fun.

HQ: lascannon
krak grenades

Troop 1:
PCS: grenade launcher x4
krak grenades
SQD 1: krak grenades
missile launcher
SQD 2: krak grenades
missile launcher
Commissar w/ power weapon

Troop 2:
PCS: krak grenades
auto cannon
SQD 1: krak grenades
auto cannon
SQD 2: Krak grenades
auto cannon
Commissar w/ power weapon

Fast Attack: Armored Sentinel w/ auto cannon x2

Heavy: Hydra


LIST 2: Stubborn

HQ: Lord Commissar w/ power weapon, carapace armor
Chimera w/ multi laser, hull flamer, heavy stubber

Troop 1: Vets w/ melta gun x3
shotguns x6
Chimera w/ multi laser, hull flamer

Troop 2: Vets w/ melta gun x3
shotguns x6
Chimera w/ multi laser, hull flamer

Troop 3: Penal legion squad

Heavy Support: Exterminator w/ lascannon, heavy bolter sponsons, cammo netting




Before I hear the Valk/vendatta argument, don't have one, don't plan on it. Play testing other versions with others there, mainly SM w/ rhinos or razorbacks for transports. Thus, the use of alot of autocannons. Games are going to be played on 4 x 4 tables, so, range wont be an issue.

The second army list is a more balanced army list and the first is a list that would be good against the heavy transport vehicle armies used alot in tournament's these days.
The only thing I would suggest is powering up the command squad in the 1st list by dropping krak grenades.
Other than that, I think both armies are reayd for tournament play.

Did well in the tournament, 3rd out of 16 players. I ran the first list 4 times and the second once. Three draws, tabled my opponent in game 4, and game 5, well, only had the sentinels and hydra left.

The first list did exactly what I wanted it to do. I sat still, waited for them to come to me. One bike army, 1 chaos army, and eldar, Dark eldar, and another SM. I basicly took out the transports with all the auto cannon goodness and help with orders. Sometimes had to let the platoon command squads and HQ become speed bumps so I could take a marine squad out with alot of lasgun fire.

A dark eldar army took all my troops out with the witches he had. I took out the transports except for the one with the witches, and they took care of my troops. I tabled the choas army. The bike army hurt himself more failing dangerous terrain test and poor armor saves.

I was more than satisfied with how I did. Funny enough, not one landraider to appear. Alot of rhino and razorbacks though.

Good to hear. The only reason that the dark eldar probably beat you is because they give you less turns of shooting then other armies with their speed

It didn't help that his witches (one unit) took out my HQ squad, PCS, and Infantry squad in one assault phase. It was brutal and amazing all at the same time.

With dark eldar you pretty much only get one trun of shooting, maybe 2 against them.
