Lord of War

Phantom Titan, 2x Phantom Pulsar, Pulse Laser - 2500

Total: 2992 points

Basic stategy is to use LOS and reserves to make the Phantom my only targetable model at the start of the game, crush the enemy army with 8 D shots, skyfire missiles and the phantom starcannon and then move my MSUs in to grab objectives and mop up latergame. If the opponent brings a lord of war and I get first turn I will kill it in one shooting phase barring bad luck against a Reaver Titan. I am hoping for good scatters with the Pulsars so I can cover as many models as possible. Since the Shadow Weavers are Barrage I can hide them behind terrain and still get some shots off. The Jetbikes are mostly just there to capture objectives, hopefully with six squads and good use of terrain I can keep some alive. If my titan is alphastriked I'm relying on the fact it has 24 hull points and a 5+/4+ save to keep it alive, I might even be able to get a cover save if there are any big pieces. The biggest vulnerability of this list is massed fliers since I only have 4 skyfire shots, but since killing the titan is very difficult I'm hoping it can slowly whittle down a mass-flyer list while being impervious to return fire. Massed shooting is usually S7, so with AV13 I shouldn't have to worry too much about taking extra hull points, though DS melta will still hurt if I can't intercept it coming down. The inability to move 36" kind of sucks since I'm more vulnerable to assault, but it's pretty much impossible to block LOS to the tallest model in the game in most circumstances and the extra durability and firepower makes up for it in my mind.

I believe the phantom is only apoc allowed, is this an apoc touney? if it is it looks good.

Lol on this list, in 3k points daemons will play with your Titan so hard its funny. Also if any other people decide to bring phantoms then who ever goes first wins.

I hate Titans in non apoc games for the fact its 3/4 the army right off the bat and if it dies you auto lose.

I dropped one Jetbike squad, gave all the others Shuriken Cannons and switched to Vibro Cannon platforms. This should give me a reasonable chance of grounding one or two FMC each turn. It's still a weakness but a less obvious one now. I have (assuming I'm out of catapult range) 15 shots from the jetbikes, 10 shots from the titan and 3 from the platforms. 4 of the titan shots have skyfire. That ought to give me about 5 grounding tests per turn if my maths is right, which means I can whittle MC down relatively quickly. If they're coming in piecemeal from reserves I should be able to methodically ground and eradicate them, it's only a flood I'd have trouble with.

Oh, forgot. Phantom sin't allowed unless FW did something.

Is the titan strength D ignore armour? If he isn't then you can get murdered in CC by the sheer amount of high Strength ap 2 attacks. And as soon as your titan is dead you lose.
