Might play, last miinute notice, at FLGS team tourney. I am bring a 750 point IG list, and dont have a partner yet. I will just pick up another person who doesnt have partner when I get there. Should be random and totally fun!

Rules:
1. each player bring a 750 point list.
2. Special abilities will work for both friendly teams.
3. no "named" characters
4. standard FOC with one exception, you do not need to take an HQ if you dont want to.
5. All missions will be KP based.


Here are the 3 possible list ideas I have:

List #1

HQ
CCS (160 pts)
krak grenades
plasma gun x2
lascannon team
Chimera w/HB turret, HF hull

TROOPS
Inf Pltn (260 pts)
PCS
krak grenades
grenade launcher x2
Autocannon team
Inf Sqd
grenade launcher
Autocannon team
Inf Sqd
grenade launcher
Autocannon team
Hvy Wpn Sqd
Aoutcannon x3

Veteran Sqd (125 pts)
Flamer x3
HB team

FAST ATTACK (130 pts)
Valkyrie Assault Carrier
w/Rocket Pods

HEAVY SUPPORT (75 pts)
Hydra Flak Tank
w/HB in hull

With this list I plan to support my team with the inf platoon, issueing orders from the chimera behind them. Vets will ride in Valk and try to get in behind the opponent and then pile out and flame them and if get a good position to hold then fire it up with the HB. Command Chimera has HB to reach out a touch, and the lascannon and plas inside to fill as backup anti-tank. I like the HB on the hull of the Hydra because it seems to go better with its role. Your thoughts?

List#2

HQ
CCS (105 pts)
krak grenades
plasma guns x2
lascannon team

TROOPS
Inf Pltn #1 (225 pts)
PCS
grenade launcher x2
HB team
Commissar w/Power Weapon
Inf Sqd
Rocket Launcher
Inf Sqd
Rocket Launcher

Inf Pltn #2 (205 pts)
PCS
grenade launcher x2
AC team
Commissar w/ Power Weapon
Inf Sqd
AC team
Inf Sqd
AC team

FAST ATTACK
Armored Sentinel Squadron (120 pts)
Armored Sentinels w/ AC x2

HEAVY SUPPORT
Hydra Flak Tank (75 pts)
w/HB in hull

With this list even more blobby goodness, and a couple commissars to help them stick around. Armored sentinels for mobile aoutocannon goodness, and the hydra with HB in hull. And yes, I know they are called missile launchers in the codex, not rocket launchers, but I refuse to call them by that name. Afterall, the first four letters of MISSile launcher are MISS!!! Your thoughts on this list?

List#3

HQ
CCS (150 pts)
plasma guns x4
Chimera w/ HB turret, HF hull

TROOPS
Vet Sqd (185 pts)
melta gun x3

Vet Sqd (155 pts)
flamer x2
heavy flamer

FAST ATTACK
Valkyrie (130 pts)
TL Lascannon x3

Valkyrie (130 pts)
TL Lascannon x3

Plan with list #3 is that if alot of guys are showing up with mech/tank heavy lists to go with this loadout instead (more of a standard vets in vendettas/valks list, I know). This does tend to happen alot with the guys in our area, although we do have a few ork players (nob bikers and mechboy in truk with KFF and then tons of boys in truks) and a couple dark eldar/eldar players and a few new necron players as well and one nid player. the majority of the rest are either BA, GK, SW, or vanilla marines.

What are your thoughts?

I would realy find a way to squeeze in a commissar in that infantry platoon on list one. Those are a must. Maybe get rid of the auto cannon heavy weapon team. Make it a commissar with power weapon (45) give the squads krak grenades (10ea).

Is that the list you'd go with of the 3 I came up with, number 1?

i can actually only play 1 list, so would like some input. Tourney is in 1 week (got the dates wrong).

anyone else???

List 1

I've recently had a lot of success with Infantry blobs that are packing power weapons, Lascannons, and a Commissar, especially when you buff them with BID or FOMT. So, something else to consider.

You should drop that HB off of the Vets, and see if you could find points for a Demo charge. The Hydra just doesn't seem to fit in the list...you're going to have two AV12 vehicles back there near your blob which are probably going to get trashed right away.

List 2

Well, if you put all four Infantry Squads in the same Platoon, you could have the option then to create a 36 model blob with all of them instead of just two 18 model blobs. Just gives you some more tactical flexibility at the expense of a PCS.

List 3

Based on what you tell us your meta is and what you may own, maybe jiggle the models around to fit in a third Vendetta?


I like List #1 or #3 the best. Just not feeling #2.
