Hi All,

Need help doing some games soon that have a few restrictions 1000Pts - CAD(no detachments or formations) only no more than 100pts on fortifications and no LOW or D. games will me dawn of war rule (so no cards)

so with the rules being lay down it has been a while since i have made a list and im a little rusty - have came up with 2 lists one Vanilla marines and the other TAU.

TAU
HQ - Cadre fireblade
Troops - Kroot (11man +1 hound) - strike team (5 man + Missile turret)
Elites - 2xRiptide (sepperate squads) (FNP and Intercept on both)
Fast - 3x tetras (sepperate squads) (+1 cover on all)
Heavy - Missile sides squad of 3 - all with intercept
Pts 996

Idea behind list - fireblade goes with Fire warrirors and hides out of sight on a rear objective - kroot outflank onto a side objective or just cause havok - Missilesides push up to a good firebase position pref on an objective with riptides being the heavy hitters - tetras as marker support and fast late game Obj cappers.

MARINES
HQ - Captain - Artificer armour, SS, Grav pistol and burning blade
Troops 2x sniper scouts with LSS (multi melta)
Elites - Honour guard (7 Man - Champ has relic blade, one man has power axe, chapter relic) - Ironclad Dread (Melta gun and heavy flamer)
Heavy - Storm raven ( multimelta + lascannon)
Pts 1000

Idea behind list - HQ honour guard and ironclad in the Storm raven - scouts drop out onto rear objectives and let the now Obj sec speeders become tank hunters and Obj cappers, Storm raven goes for high threat targes and drops of honour guard and iron clad up front then becomes a objective capper. i feel i am risking too much on my warlord trait to get my raven on the table ASAP and then its all eggs in one basket.


Those are the 2 lists but i feel like both are lacking something or i may just be paranoid i feel both lists have enouph AT (probobly too much in the Marines list) i prefer the Tau list but if the Marine list can be imporved id be happy either way haha

Any help would be great

Thanks
