Hey so I got a 1850 tournament coming up and I figured I would bounce some ideas off of people. So without further ado here is the list.

UM
Tigurius

Sternguard
4 extra
2x hvy flamer

Tactical Marine
5 extra marines
Combi Plasma
Plasmagun
MultiMelta
drop pod

Chapter Master
Artificier
Eternal shield
Bike
Thunder Hamer

Bike Squad x 5
combi-grav
2x grav gun

Centurrion Dev
las/mis
omni

Bastion
Quadgun

The basic plan is 5 man with lascannons goes on top of the bastion, Centurions go in the Bastion IF commander goes with the bike squad for the first turn. If I go first they go in the middle of the table, since they have a 30 inch threat range I am pretty sure that they will have a pretty good position. Otherwise they hide in cover. After that the Chapter Master will break off and go hunt something on the turn he is within assault range of something.

The plan is to drop in one sternguard one tac squad and use the tactical doctrine on the first turn, especially if the bikes are in range so they can get re-roll 1s.

I am designing this list on the assumption that the biggest contenders will be Riptide tau, wave serpent eldar, and daemons. IF centurrions is mainly for Tank Hunter against Eldar and to a lesser extend to put the hurt on the riprides, same with the bikes.

That is also the reasoning behind the larger squads in pods as well as the plasmaguns. I think the two shots will help against wave serpents, flying MCs and riptides more that the melta.

Tigurius and Sternguard go together to go hunt troops. Will probably go divination.

Gives me some decent tank/MC hunting, some decent anti infantry. Really light on the anti air, however I dont see that being much of a thing with Tau removing them from the equation.
