I've had a lot of luck with a similar list so far this year, but curious what others think.

Edited the list to make it a bit more scenario friendly

I am working on a HE list, and my only concern is that in Scenario #1, the RBTs are going to be very limited in their range, and in scenario #2 there is a 1/6 chance in each roll of the die that 300 points of your army are going to die.

I've been thinking about that as well. And it's Scenario 3, not 2, that has the chance to blast you to oblivion.

Right now my thought is to replace them with a unit of Phoenix Guard, and to move the Razor Standard to them.

Sorry, that was supposed to be 3, not 2.

I might run a more CC heavy list, and leave the shooters at home (except maybe some Sea Guard).

I'm trying not to play too much to the scenarios. There's a chance that it'll happen in the third scenario, but if you make your force less effective in ALL scenarios because of what MIGHT happen in the LAST scenario.....

Its not just 1 scenerio. Game 1 not being able too see is going to hurt a lot, game 3 its a 1/6 chance [i]the die or are at an extra -1 to hit. That is enough for be to leave the RBTs at home. The only shooting ill consider is either archers or LSG, either of which I think have to be above 15 for the tourney IMHO.

The LOS distance didn't hurt us much the other day.

Misfire - no restriction
10 - 30" LOS
8 - 24" LOS

All of these are pretty much ok. Anytime you would have been at short range with your bolt throwers, you'll be able to shoot. Deploy further forward and take the second turn, if you like. And most spells don't require LOS, particularly in the lore of life, so you'd be good to go.

Also, it stands a small chance of messing with your opponent's charges too. Rolling a 2 at a critical turn can really make a CC army sad - yours included.

1 in 6 chance, every turn. You gotta role it every turn. So it's a lot more likely to get something that screws you over pretty hard.

I'm not counting the RBT out just yet, but it I'm kinda liking the idea of having a unit of all three specials.

I feel like you could stand to lose the command on the DP unit and bump up the numbers on your WL unit.

I'm maxed out at 15 White Lions, so that's not really an option.

Well... turns out I can't do it this year (again...), so thanks for all the inputs guys. Hope you all have good luck.
