Hi im going to join the kill team tourament in June. I just need a bit of help with my list not sure if i have enough men or if there strong enough to hold there ground. Please give you honest opinion.

x5 purifiers
x1 Hammer
x1 psycannon
Rest have halberds
Digital weapon

razorback
heavy bolter
Psy ammo
search light

197 Points

Kill taem special abilities
psycannon - relentless
razorback - scout
sergeant - flesh bane

Or should i use the points from the razorback to get 2 more men?

In most KT games, HS aren't allowed. This means that you might not want a Psycannon, b/c there won't be many big things that you'll need Str7 against. It's a great weapon, but the Heavy4 makes you want to stand still, and KT is all about moving. Also, depending on the board you use (like the Zone Mortalis), your Razorback will be stuck in one spot, with bad LoS

A KT list I came up with, also with Purifiers:

1 Knight of the Flame w/ Halberd: 26
5 Purifiers, 4 Halberds, 1 Incinerator: 128
Xenos Inquisitor with Power Armour, Rad grenades: 48
Total: 202
(subtract one halberd for 200pts)

this might be completely off topic but would this be considered a legit list?

6 warriors
ghost ark

193

I assume with the front and side armour at 13 it would make everyone think twice

In this tournament I can have special abilities and one of them was relentless that I gave to psycannon man so he will get his 4 shots wile he moving. I believe the board is 4x4 with a bit of terrain. Only reason I choice to take a transport as you said they're wont be that many heavy shooting cos of the terrain in the way and movement will just loose you shot unless you snap fire on a roll of a 6. Other reason I got transport was cos there's a objective in the middle of the board I plan to get there quick hold wile shooting cos it's worth 5 points. Iv linked PDF for the tournament at the bottom.

Yeah KonTheory would be hard to take armour 13 down so sounds good to me just to sit and shoot. Taking any heavy weapons out first ofc.

Yeah, ok, I can see the benefit of giving the Razorback Scout. That's actually not a bad idea.
However, you need to consider what will happen when the enemy has a melta-gun. You're going to lose that Razorback, and then your Purifiers will be sitting around for a turn, while they get shot.
Consider Scouting forward, and immediately disembarking into cover. This will also allow your squad to shoot the enemy, although they will take some return fire.

IIRC you cannot use scout with those rules, nor infiltrate. According to the scenario deployment rules:

"His opponent then does likewise. Neither player may place any units in reserve, or make use of the Infiltrate or Scout Special Rules."

I ran regular strike squad with 1 hammer, 1 psycannon, 3 halberds, rhino, psybolt ammo on everything. Psycannon I gave preferred enemy, I gave my sergeant Rage and my hammer feel no pain.

It worked really well until I hit the more "horde" KT lists; IG Doom Platoon, Ork Green Tidal Pool, Demon Pinkie Power Squad. There just aren't enough bullets.

I really like your list, so I say stick with it. Use the razorback to control the board and block LOS/movement and you'll be golden. Don't forget you can shoot each shot of the psycannon at different models and same with the storm bolters. It'd devastating and gives you a fighting chance against horde lists. Against other elite/low count KT lists it will chew them up. Bikes Just can't handle that much STR 5 shooting.

And for Elric, while you can't have HS, you can still have elites and FA, which means dreadnoughts, which are popular in KT at my store. So the Psycannon is a fantastic choice.
