'Ard Boyz- MoV (margin of Victory) type tournament
NOVA- W/L (Win or Lose) type tournament


I have two separate armies that I normally take to each type of tournament. My Grey Knight army is really good at W/L games and that is what I'm taking to NOVA this year. (assuming that my painting is finished on time)

My Dark Eldar are generally better at MoV games. I was planning on taking them to 'Ard Boyz.

WWDDD?

I've gone without much playing over the past few months due to busy schedule and spending lots of time painting BOTH armies actually. All paint and no play makes me rusty. I'm really concerned with performing well at NOVA so I'm thinking about taking my 2000pt Knights with 500pts added on just to give me more practice with the particular tactics of the army.

Using the Dark Eldar gives me more possibility of winning big at 'Ard Boyz but a bad matchup/luck is easier to stop this list. Victories are more one sided, but luck/matchup is more of a factor.

What would you take? The army you probably need more playtesting on for a good showing at NOVA? Or would you take the army that has a better chance for HUGE victories for a better chance at first place qualification?
