I played in a 1850 RTT once with my boyfriend's Chaos left overs because I was silly and brought my fantasy army instead so ended up playing with like 6 land raiders and min troops and termies with flamers and it was pretty successful after all it played sort of like Mech Sisters with the drive by flamings so I thought why not play that again since in 5th edition Land Raiders are even better with the new vehicle rules.

At 2500 you can afford Lash Princes to keep nasty things away from your Landraiders or for assaults if necessary.

Haven't thought of names for characters or any fluff since this is just in the planning stage and its not even my army but since Ardboys is a win at all costs thing.

Only 3 scoring units but they should be difficult to kill being in Land Raiders except with the Dawn of War mission where two squads have to start outside of Land Raiders.

12 Twin linked las cannons from land raiders are adequate anti tank if you don't have to drive too much getting to objectives.

All infantry have flamers to kill off other infantry.

It will be fun modeling green stuff demons on the land raiders to represent demonic possesion though. Demonic Posession does decrease BS but the added benefit of shooting instead of being shaken or stunned sounds better then the lose of 1 BS. What do you think?

Potential Issues
In capture objectives, relying on Land Raiders for their las cannons for anti tank can be problematic because you have to drive your troops to the objectives and the terminators want to be close up to flame and assault.

In the Dawn of War mission I would have to start a Daemon Prince and 2 marines squads on the table which is particularly vulnerable to deep striking demons if they go first.
The Land Raiders would have to drive on to the board and lose a turn of shooting.

Do you think this would work out well? How do you think this can be improved? Or should I just play Eldar again like I did last time?

At this rate, whoever takes the first dark lance spam army wins the tournament.

I'm not sure of this but I don't think you need to start with 2 troops + HQ on the board in DOW. The rulebook says you can deploy UP TO 2 troops + 1 HQ.

This list isn't quite as good as some of the other LR spam armies, due to the DPs being able to be killed.

I'd suggest making them sorcerors and putting them in the landraiders with the troops.

I thought Demon Princes would be good to use Lash to keep threats away from the land raiders and for assaulting and destroying opposing land raiders and vehicles.

If sorcerors could use lash from inside a land raider I would consider them.

Have to actually try this 2500 point list in some test games at some point. I only played the 6 land raider list at two 1850 tourneys so far.

You should add more combi-flamers to your terminators.

Lash is neat, but not really necessary.

Lance Spam lists are dangerous to this army, but not nearly so much to other lists. I don't think I'll see that many except for DE lists.

I think you can get what, 27 KP in a DE army at 2500 points? Sounds fun!
