Some friends and I are having a 'friendly' tournament at the weekend for a farewell to 5th edition. There should be 26-30 players there, and a lot of the ones I know are good players that beat me regularly. Since its not a competitive event really its not optimised list by any means, but I am open to suggestions. Though just so you know, first time i've really used haemonculi, and I don't have any beast units so they can't be put in. At two similar tournaments this year I finished 3rd (in February) then 1st (march). In the smaller games we can only have units that were in the larger games, and units can't get bigger, though wargear can change.

And I'll think up my sunday list later. 1k list is gonna be grim

Bit worried about my anti-tank due to swapping one ravager to disintegrators, but all you termie spammers out there, beware

For 5th Ed, this looks like something I would suggest DE players to run, though it would certainly function in 6th.

I particularly like the 1250. Mmmm
