Hey guys. I have a tournament in Spetember and have come up with a few lists. All of them are Cent Stars, but have varying allies/compositions to go with them. The tournament is pretty liberal, and will have Imperial Knights, Super Heavies/Gargantuan Creatures, and as many detachments as you could desire. As well, your allied detachment(s) can be the same as your primary.

List 1:

Spoiler:


UM Librarius Conclave:

Tigurius WARLORD
Librarian, Level 2
Librarian: Level 2, Auspex

UM CAD:

Captain: CM, AA, SE, TH, Auspex
Cypher

Scouts: Boltguns
Scouts: Snipers
Scouts: BP and CCW, MB, LSS with a HB

Stormtalon: Skyhammer

Thunderfires: Two Thunderfires
Dev Cents: 4 GC, 3 Hurricanes, 1 ML on sgt, Omniscope

Bunker: Hatch, Void Shield

Inquisition:

Coteaz

Total 1850


This one takes advantage of Cypher to boogie on out of any fights they don't want to be in (after he joins them turn 1, of course) Smashfether to tank, Coteaz to shoot fun things like Culexus Assassins. The librarians will fish for spells depending on the opponent (likely hammer hand if facing Knights, for example, so smashfether can be invisible and s10! Or I'll roll cleansing flame against Knights. You know, the typical thing.

List 2:
Spoiler:

GK NSF, UM Allies, UM librarius

GK:
Librarian: Level 3, Warding Staff

Strikes: Incinerator, Swords

NDK: Heavy Incinerator, Heavy Psycannon, Nemesis Greatsword, Teleporter
NDK: Heavy Incinerator, Heavy Psycannon, Nemesis Greatsword, Teleporter

Draigo

Bunker: Hatch, Void Shield (replace with Coteaz instead?)

SM allies:

Telion

Scouts: snipers

Centurions: 4 GC, 3 Hurricanes, 1 ML on sgt, Omniscope - 340

Librarius:

Tigurius
Librarian: Level 2, Auspex
Librarian: Level 2



Your typical GK cent star, with a librarius to make the 15 dice go even further! I was thinking of switching the bunker for Coteaz, to add some more S8 goodness, and since the hatch is a bit more superlative when I can just use gate of infinity. Does make a handy thing for the NDKs to stand behind turn one, though, if there isn't a large enough ruin to hide them. Scouts will probably either outflank for line breaker, or hide on an objective with Telion.

List 3:
Spoiler:

UM CAD, Librarius, Assassin

UM:

Telion

Command Squad: 5 meltaguns, drop pod

Scouts: Boltguns
Scouts: Snipers, Cloaks
Scouts: CCW, sgt with MB LSS with HB

Stormtalon: Skyhammer
Stormtalon: Skyhammer
Pod

Thunderfires: 2 Thunderfires
Centurions: 4 GC, 3HB, 1 ML, Omniscope

Bunker: Hatch, Void Shield

Assassin:

Culexus

Librarius:

Tigurius
Librarian: level 2
Librarian: level 2, Auspex


This list relies on all of the shooting. A culexus to counter enemy Cent Stars or Seer Stars, or just be a nuisance in the backfield, killing heavy weapons and the like. Other than that, there is no escaping CC unless I roll up levitation or gate of infinity, and no smashfether to fight for them. This was the original lost, until I read that thar will be Knights.

List 4:
Spoiler:

UM CAD, Librarius, Cypher, Coteaz

UM CAD

Telion
Cypher

Scouts: Boltguns
Scouts: BP CCW

Command Squad: 5 Meltas, Pod

Stormtalon: Skyhammer
Stormtalon: Skyhammer

Thunderfires: two Thunderfires
Cent Devs: 4 GC, 3 hurricanes, 1 ML on sgt, Omniscope

Bunker: Hatch, Void Shield

Inquisition:

Coteaz

Librarius:

Tigurius
Librarian: Level 2
Librarian: Level 2, Auspex



Same list as 3 for the most part, but now there is a way outdoor the centurions other than six or more rounds of combat. And no risk of self dickery via the scatter dice.

Coteaz protects form deep strike, throws his bird around, and saves me from Wraithseers. It's true. However, I could also trade him for some scouts for some extra scoring power.

I'm having a devil of a time deciding; but I'm leaning towards list 2 or 4 (or 4 with the modifications). Nothing is sacred, so if you have any suggestions to make them more Killy, please let me know!
