Sooo. Yup. List for T-shift. Here's what I've come up with. I know the lonely Stormshield looks out of place in the Honor Guard, but it's where I stuff powerfist/lascannon wounds to avoid Astorath getting doubled out. Provides some decent durability to the squad.

The furioso rides in the Storm raven. Astorath and his boys can Deep Strike, Board hop, or storm raven depending on mission/opponent.

I'd drop the PWs on the priests. They're single wound models that can be singled out in assaults and those 30 points are imo better spent elsewhere.

The armour is a wee bit spread around, 2 AV11, 1 flying AV12, 1 walking AV12 and a lone Baal AV13. Once the Baal goes down, you'll be struggling with anti-horde.

Also your 10 man ASM are 235 points each, not 225.

Whats the purpose of your honor guard? It isnt really CC heavy, nor is it shooting heavy. Some cheap flamers here could add some real anti-horde dirt-cheap, and since the models can bring 2 weapons each its doable even if you really want your current setting.

I don't believe Astorath is worth his 220 points, and i'd rather use 2 Librarians for 250. Can fund this somehow, shouldnt be a problem really. But thats just me, if you want to use him, then by all means do so

You are really light on anti-vehicle weapons. You also have several choices that are not pulling their weight (Astorath, Vanguards, Honor Guard) and make up close to a third of the list. Having 5 vehicles isn't helping either, especially since the majority are pretty fragile and provide all of your anti-tank that has a range in excess of 12".

I would suggest you try to make the list more focused. Either really go for a Stormraven list, or go mechanized, but don't spread yourself so thin. You could go all infantry if you think everyone's going to gear up to kill vehicles.

For the record, I lived in Seattle until recently, and here's the list I would have brought to this tournament:
