Hey all, i am not certain if i will ever play in a warhammer 40k tournament, as the armies there seem to be a lot tougher than i am normally prepared to face, but i wanted to get my idea of a tournament list out there based on what i can build and get your feedback on it. i am not opposed to adding units to the roster, and welcome any feedback, please just remember that i am a more fluffy player than i am a tournment caliber player, so the list still needs to follow somewhat of the marine gun line form that i started with, as its normally the type of list i have the most fun playing. that said, i also understand that many will probably have feedback that points me in a different direction and i am perfectly ok with that, just be patient with me.

thank you all in advance.

just as a complete side note, does a devestator squad have a place in here. i know they are crazy expensive, but this list just seems to scream devestators.

i also know that devestators, unless they are space wolves, arent typically considered a competitive unit.

also, wat about dropping the two vindicators for two more dakka predators. i would have to buy three (as the predator is the only thing on this list i cannnot produce) but it would seem to be really good, i am just not certain if its THAT good. someone with mroe experience please enighten me.

1.)Why 6 tactical squads 3-4 at most IMO
2.) Dreads are only good MM/DCCW/DP or 2x TL AC
3.) You should have a rhino per tactical squad
4.) You have only got 2 MLs and 2 lascannons for long range AT and not much short range either
5.) IMO las/TL AC is the best variety of predator but YMMV
