Howdy all,

So in 2 weeks we have a team tourney at my FLGS. The makeup is as follows: 1 force org shared between two players, 1k points MAX per player (no sharing points!), will be a total of 3 games over 7 hours.

I'm teaming up with my buddy who plays Space Wolves and won the local 'Ardboyz this year. His list is going to contain (aprox):

1x Rune priest - JoTWW + LL
2x Squads of TWcalv (3-4 models per squad, TH, varying wargear, SS's)
1-2x Squads of Greyhunters in rhinos

So he will be taking up at least 1 HQ slot, 2 FA slots, and probably 2 troop slots. Being as it may, I'm having issues choosing a list that will suit this list and complement it. So, that being said, heres the lists I'm mulling over so far:

So what do ya'll think? The model pool I have to pull from is as follows:
1x Mephiston
1x Chaplain/Reclusiarch
2x Libbys w/ jump packs
15x Death co - various loadouts
22x Assault Marines - all JP's, 4 meltas, 2 PF, 2 TH
10x Assault Marines - normal packs, 2x flamers (magnetized backpacks so can be JP), PF
3x Sang priests - 2x JP/PW (1 magnetized to be a ground pounder too), 1x w/o pack or PW
2x Landspeeders - MM's
3x Dreads - No arms atm, can proxy as anything (our tourney you just have to say what they have before the game and keep track)
1x LRR - w/ MM
1x Stormraven - MM/AC
5x Devestators - 4x ML's

I can also borrow some SW models from my buddy for things like Lascannon devs, etc.

Vote and lemme know what ya'll think!

Your first list, is the one that I would play, however I would drop the Land Speeder and the power weapon on the priest to get another priest, that way you have one for each assult squad.

One priest at lower points games usually serves me (very) well. Especially with 2 units of wolf calv running interference lol

But I find that haveing a priest with every assult squad gives me more flexibility, it lets me run both squads seperate ways. FNP takes the assult squad from a good unit to an amazing unit.

All that asside though, power weapons on the preist are not worth it, when you boil it all down he is a one wound IC with no invulnerable save.

Thats where I play on my opponents weaknesses lol... I always mention they're ICs to anyone whos not familiar to BA, and normally (90%) of my fights, my opponents will target the unit first and leave him alone. I've actually had damn good luck with em! Plus, unless my friend runs Greyhunters w/ dual melta, I see my role taking out more armor for the games. If he does decide to run GH's with meltas I'll likely take your advice and get another priest

Need more votes (and suggestions)!

sounds a ton of fun, but the Fate CrusherThunderCav team up was, is the best
