Howdy guys,

Im looking for a really broken/cheesy list to run for a 1500 this month. 1st place is a great prize and I need some suggestions.

The main opponents I have to worry about are 3 or 4 nid players, Demon Flying Circus, and the new GW money grab.

I have the following to pull a list from. *All dex, no FW, Datasheetss allowed*

Eldar (almost everything) - Never really had any luck with seerstar, plus a lot of nids with shadows in my local, Maybe serpents?
DE (enough to ally for jetseer or beastpack) - never tried the beastpack
Tau (almost everything *2 tides*) - contemplating running formation (that is a datasheet right?)
Sisters (everything +11 Immolators) - Good against Nids.....
GK Monkey list (never played it, still assembling) - I think this would be great Vs. Knights... pretty bad against FMC and Nids.

I would appreciate any ideas....
I try to be competitive, but often fail in the list-building aspect.

Unfortunately, the top armies right now also require the user to be pretty familiar with how to effectively play them, so I would just try to play the army that you are most comfortable playing. What do you normally play?

If they are allowing the Tau formation from the dataslate, I'm pretty sure that's just "point and click" so I guess take that with some allied in Eldar cheese?

Are those Nids running the new Sky Blight? That would be good to know. If they are serpant spam might be your best bet. Do have a friend w Necros? Necron Flyer spam would prob be the best counter.

Is the Tau list good vs Flyers?

You have the weirdest store ever w/ a bunch of Nid players. I never see other Nid players. They are the army I have the most fun playing but have have been the rarest for a while. The Sky Blight might change that.

Dealing w Demons and Nids should be good for you. 1 List handles both of those.

If you are looking for the most powerful user friendly list, that is Serpent spam without question.

FS on bike with Mantle and spear
5 DA in WS with SL and holo x5
Jetbike x3
Spiders x7
Night spinner with holo and CtMatrix

I don't necessarily think this is the best 1500 point list but I absolutely think it is the best list for someone with out intimate knowledge of their list

Thanks for all the Feed back guys.
I haven't had a lot of luck with servents Vs Flyers, but, besides Elfzilla, its probably the list I have the most expierence with.

Flyers tend to be the bane of my existence.... Especially Demons.
