As always posting the list up before the event. I still owe everyone a GT report from the midwest massacre but its been a very hectic month. I am actually trying something new here. I originally qualified for feast of blades with SW allies for the 56th MID. This time I thought ide spice things up a little.


HQ:
4 Company Command Squad, 175pts Meltagun x4
1 Company Commander,
1 Officer of the Fleet,
1 Chimera, ML/HF

Elite:
8 Psyker Battle Squad, 100pts
1 Overseer

Troops:

Vet Squad 170pts; Plasma gun x3
1 Chimera, ML/Hull HF

Vet Squad 170pts; Plasma gun x3
1 Chimera, ML/Hull HF

Infantry Platoon 140pts
PCS
Infantry Platoon w/ grenade launcher
Infantry Platoon w/ grenade launcher

Fast Attack:
1 Vendetta, 130 pts

1 Vendetta, 130 pts

HEAVY:

1 Manticore Rocket Launcher, 160 pts Hull HF

Hydra Flak Tank Battery (2#, 150 pts) Hull HB

Fortification
1 Aegis Defense line w/ Quad Gun 100pts


ALLIES:

Saint Celestine 115pts

10 Battle Sisters w/ melta, Multi-melta 145pts

5 Dominion Squad w/ 2 melta in Immolator w/ TL MM 170pts

Exorcist w/ storm bolter 145 pts

Total allied points: 575 pts.

Total roster cost: 2000

This would bring an enemy troops killer in Celestine who also has a 50% to get back up everyturn with D3 wounds. This list offers an outflanking threat with the dominions which can also scout if desired. The exorcist will bring a nice threat to the table with D6 S8 AP1 missles which can be used to kill TEQ or help pop vehicles with +2 to the damage chart. What'ya guys think? I added the storm bolter to the exorcist just in case they get a weapons destroyed result its a 50% of keeping the missle launcher rather then losing it all together. This will be my first time running the aegis. I figure its a perfect match for IG given the ability to give orders and all you can maximise the cover save allotted by the aegis.

other then my nit picky ness on a few things, there only minor

but the saint celestene is a jump pack independent character so put them with the serephins ( drop something for them ) also man the fluff up and put your manly sister in a rhino so they can go melt things faster with their manlyness

The plan with celestine is to charge up the center and draw fire. If she dies she can get back up on my turn and continue the fight. I didn't have a painted rhino so i was just gonna place the ladies behind the aegis.

ok that works to then

The only potential downside is if Celestine never wants to get back up or if she runs into terminators because the ardent blade is only a power weapon.

This list preformed amazingly. I ended up missing the top bracket at feast of blades by one point and then lost in the semi-finals of that bracket. Ending the tournament 5-1.

Celestine was a game changer in every game.

wow gg

Anything that stood out to you as underwhelming?

Curious to know if everything fell into place or one unit just couldn't cut it.

Not really the list was very balanced... The CCS kept my units in the fight. The infantry squad was key in scoring objectives and quarters. The battle sisters squad wasnt overly great but they are a must take to get the rest of the sisters. Other then that the list performed as planned with Celestine more then exceeding expectations.

Good to hear, congrats on the performance.
