I'm going to a tournament on saturday, and it's going to be 1500pts on 4"x4" boards, unless not enough people come, and then it's 1850 on 6x4. If it's 1850, I'll run my IG, no prob. On 4x4, it seems that IG get crowded, so I'm going to take my marines.

My initial plan is to simply cheese it up:

tigerious (if FOD is doubled)
libby, termie command, ACx2, furious charge
Termies w/ ACx2, Tank hunters
Termies w/ ACx2, Tank hunters
5 marines w/ Lascannon
5 marines w/ Lascannon
Tornado
Tornado
Predator annhialator w/ heavy bolters

The goal is pretty simple: use FOD and FotA to clear out IG and Tau. Chew up orks with firepower and countercharge with the HQs. I'm worried about too many eggs in one basket with the librarians, and I'm worried about having such a low model count.

Does anybody have advice or experience in playing on such small tables?

2 Things:
First What armies are you expecting to play at this tournament?
Second The only think this list is lacking are plasmas and an extra man in those tac squads.

I checked with the TO, and he's going to allow big FOD area, which I think makes Tiggy too good to pass up. Alas, I forgot to actually buy Fear/Fury for my Libby, making my list over points.

I figure I can drop the tank, add a tornado, Fear/Fury, and plasmas to both tac squads and a 6th marine to one of them.

Unfortunatly, I have no clue what to expect. I'm writing my list to be as take on all comers as possible. Here's the new list:
tiggy
Libby w/ Fear/Fury, Termies w/AC, Furious charge
Termies w/ AC, tankhunters
Termies w/AC, tankhuners
6 Tac w/ las/plas
5 Tac w/ Las/plas
3x Tornado

That does look good. I do wish you luck with it.
