So, the FLGS owner and one of the likely TOs for a possible Kill Team tournament (that may actually get changed over to a league for ongoing involvement), has proposed upping the list limits to 250 points -- not a big change from 200, you would think, but I was finding 200 really restrictive (and so was he, evidently -- and possibly be a bit bored with his unit of 7 plague marines (w/ 2x plasma rifles) which was nevertheless pretty hard.

So, when thinking about 200 points, I had pretty much decided on a pretty big purifier squad (1 psycannon, 1 incinerator and a few other toys)

But now I'm thinking I have a few more options (especially if some new Forgeworld models can get shipped & built before the league starts).

Option 1
Purifier Squad w/ Psybolt ammo (5 models + R-back)
1 psycannon, 1 incin
Knight +1 w/ halberds
1 Hammer
Rback w/ psyAmmo & TL Assault Cannon (+Dozer blade 'cause I had a few points over).

That option seems to be bringing a pretty impressive amount of Dakka at a small point value game

2nd GK option would be 5 terminators, psycannon, hammer, 2 halberds, sword and Justicar with falchions (also 250 on the dot)

GK option 3 would be a mix:
Strike Squad (120)
1 Hammer & 1 Psycannon
rest (squad of 5) with swords
2 Paladins (130 points)
Psybolt, 1 w/ Hammer 1 w/ Halberd
(Could flip the psybolt to the strikes)

The fourth option would be to go a different route entirely and run my chaps as Chaos:
THinking 3 termies w/ MoT
2 (1 w/ maul and combi-melta/flamer, other with LC & Combi (the other)
Asp CHamp with PS & Combi flamer
5 CSMs
Plas rifle
Champ w/power maul & plasma pistol)
(Running option 2 would require me to get a box of Justaerin Terminators & weps from FW, and I'm liking MoT for the 4++ save (represented in the Cataphractii pattern terminator armor they'll have) but I could field the rest w/o -- or by proxying, at least for the first few games).

Any thoughts? I'm kinda worried about New Eldar with all of their rending weapons... might make bringing termies just a losing proposition to begin with....

Cheers,
