Got a 2500 Escalation tourney next month at my FLGS, trying to build a list taking my lack of superheavies into account against known superheavies that are going to be there (C'tan, revenant, stompa, baneblades) and trying to tailor a list, though its mostly everything I own currently as being new

So here goes

HQ
Draigo 275 (warlord)

Coteaz 100

Troops:

Paladins X6 370 pts
2 Psycannon, 2x Swords, x2 hammers, 2 X halberds


GKSS X10 240 pts
Psycannon X2, 8 Swords Psybolt ammo

GKSS x10 250 pts
Psycannon X2, Hammer x1, Swords x7 Psybolt ammo

Fast Attack:

Stormraven 255 pts
Multi-melta, Assault cannon, hurricane bolters, psybolt ammo

Stormraven 255
Multi-Melta, assault cannon, hurricane bolters psybolt ammo

Heavy Support:

Psyflmandread 135
Tlac x2 psybolt ammo

Dreadknight 260
Heavy incinerator, greatsword, teleporter

Dreadknight 260
Heavy incinerator, greatsword, teleporter

Fortification:
ADL 100
Quad Gun

How boned am I?

If you are 100% sure there will be super heavies everywhere then take a draigo alpha strike list like..

Hq draigo

Troops- 10 GK paladins with 4 psycannons and apothecary and if its double force org, take like 3 inquisitors with masterylvl 1 for div and give them terminator armour, and a psycannon too and then you will have 7 psycannons hitting on 3s with re rolls against what ever supder heavy is there, something else is swap out an inquisitor for mordrak so you auto land and no scatter.

Other then that Good luck, because all your squads are just going to die to D templates. Or you can play with 3 stormravens with your whole army in them.

Yea was planning on hiding my strikes in the ravens

So this is comming up this weekend, Any last minute advice would be good

Don't play against a revenant? Just kidding but I think you have the right sort of idea just make sure your ravens always stay in the air.

In escalation draigo and his star are not really good ideas as they will die from D weaponry just as a grot (for 15times the cost).

If you are not bringing your own SH, i would suggest cheaper troops such as henchmen or solodins if you want to play them (keeping them together will see them killed)
A solodin can be a threat to a SH if they have a Hammer for cheap

Yea unfortunately my model options are limited being fairly new, dont own henchmen yet.

But i was basically planning on hide them, as you still at least need LOS for the D

It doesn't look like you're taking full advantage of Coteaz here. I'd switch him out for a basic inquisitor with servo skulls and divination powers, unless you find a way to put some henchmen in there.
