How do we do that? I always i get overwhelmed by my brother. He usually fields 3 warriors a tyrant and 30 termagants.

Do you have to use a full force organization chart? Or just partial? I mean you can easily bring a list to school that force, but if you need 2 troops + HQ its harder.

yeah i do :/

Why are you agreeing to play only 500 point battles?

:(

If you REALLY wanna tick him off, just take this list -

Mephiston - 250 pts
5 man scout squad - 70 pts
5 man scout squad - 70 pts
Dreadnought - 105 pts

use Mephiston to take down the tyrant + warriors, lock the gants in battle with the dread forever.

Are we talking the Vanilla codex or a varient?

If its Blood Angels then that list Horst showed will make him cry.

If its vanilla then Chaplaincliff's list will also destroy him.

Thunderfire Cannons are boss in small games. They will murderize the Gaunts.

However I would take a Chaplain instead of the Captain, namely because he has better offensive stats then a captain(power weapon)
