Hi everyone! This is my first post here on Dakka Dakka!

Recently a local escalation league started. Soon we'll be moving out of the dreaded 500 pt games up to 750. The local players are playing tyranids (x2), orks, ig, templars, sm, eldar, dark eldar, tau and csm.

This is the list I'm planning on using for now:

-HQ-

Daemon Prince - Wings, MoS, Lash - 155

-Troop-

8 x CSM, melta, champ w/ pfist, combi-melta, IoCG, rhino - 225
8 x CSM, melta, champ w/ pfist, combi-melta, IoCG, rhino - 225

-Heavy-

Oblit - 75
Oblit - 75

Total - 755 (5 points over is the limit).

Any feedback would be awesome. Let the galaxy burn!

[edit]

Realised my last post was stupid (-er than usual )...I need sleep.

Well, it's a shame that you're 5 points over, because things are otherwise pretty solid.

I really like, nice mix of anti-tank and anti-infantry.

though you could try to sqeeze in a Vindicator
VH

ye i would say try to squese in a tank or somthin

looks good - i'd swap 1 of the CSM squads for Zerkers (wud have to drop something else though)

Thanks for all the replies so far.

A couple variations of the list I was thinking about:

List 1:
Daemon Prince - wings, mos, lash
7 x Csm - melta, champ, combi melta, rhino
7 x Csm - melta, champ, combi melta, rhino
Vindicator
Vindicator

or

List 2:
Daemon Prince - wings, mos, lash
7 x Csm - melta, champ, pfist, combi melta, rhino
7 x Csm - melta, champ, pfist, combi melta, rhino
Pred - HB sponsons
Pred - HB sponsons

or

List 3:
Daemon Prince - wings, mos, lash
7 x Csm - melta, champ, pfist, combi melta, rhino
7 x Csm - melta, champ, combi melta, rhino
Pred - HB sponsons
Vindicator

or even

List 4:
Daemon Prince - wings, mos, lash
7 x Csm - melta, rhino
7 x Csm - melta, rhino
2 x Oblit
2 x Oblit

I'm not sure about making the Csm squads smaller or removing thier versitility. Having 2 tanks does sound pretty 'ard for 750 though. After some thought I think I'm starting to lead towards list 2 or 3. Thanks again, keep the comments coming!

I would use at least 1 vindicator I dont actually have one but I count as ed with a rhino and bang enemy dead their brill and I am going to get a linebreaker squad so I got 3

Two vindicators w lash is very nasty in 750 but how many MC do the nids roll around with?

A winged tyrant with implant attack and some upgrades (strength, I) can kill your prince in one turn of combat.

You will need something to combat the MC's.

Your list #4 seems to be the most solid

Daemon prince takes care of most 750 hordes and if someone runs MCs at you, 4 oblits can really take them down, and if they aren't enough, you can run the meltas at them.
Surprisingly, oblits are also anti-horde, they can take out a lot with plasmacannons, combined with the Prince you've got solid either way.
Oblits are always the models to take.
Oh, if someone runs mech at you, you've got enough meltas to wreck face, including a MC

Vindicators are at most mediocre. best to just take three if you're going to take them at all. That's a whole lot of anti-horde and what happens if they throw bigger stuff at you? you gonna lose your one good tank fast, and your Pred might take one MC down before it gets to it.

Overall, 4 oblits in a 750 game will scare a lot of people IMO.

I would go with List #1 or #4, or a fusion of the two, 1 Vindicator and 2 Oblits

Hey everyone, thanks for all the ideas!

I think I've narrowed down my list to as follows, at least for a game or two.

Daemon Prince - wings, mos, lash - 155

7 x csm, melta, champ, combi melta, rhino - 175
7 x csm, melta, champ, combi melta, rhino - 175

oblit - 75
oblit - 75
preditor - hb sponsons - 100

I like this list as it stays mostly true to my original idea while fitting in another vehicle. I generally like preds better than vindi's, I have bad luck with blasts and I feel like the pred will win back its points in one way or another more often than a vindi would. Also, this way I won't feel guilty about bringing 4 oblits. Thanks again for the feedback guys. DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!
