Hello, I am very close to settling on my final list to take to a UK GT event later this year... I'm going to go for as competitive as I can! The core of my list is the same, but I am trying to decide over a few additional options.

This is the core, which comes to 1520pts. I have some options with what to include for the last few. Bear in mind I have limited time to add models. All of the options below are what I could field with the models available.

Core units:


Option A - Extra RW attack squadron, wyvern + guardsmen

Option B - Add culexus assassin, wyvern + guardsmen

Option C - Add RW attack squadron + culexus only


Tactics:

The strategy is for the conscript blobs to move up the board, and tarpit stuff/kill infantry. The wyverns will sit back and pummel anything they can hurt. Hopefully we should have first turn with Coteaz's re-roll to seize. The command squads and infantry platoons hold the backfield, and the ravenwing outflank to bust MCs + vehicles, then cap objectives + get linebreaker.

I'm hoping this should be competitive. I won a small local tourney with a similar list a little while back (though that was more restricted, being mostly CAD focussed). Thoughts and C+C would be very useful

I voted for C. The Culexus is a great choice and more fast Grav would be great in this list.

Thanks for the input, it seems two other people from the internet are with you I think I agree myself in hindsight. I've got bucket-loads of anti-infantry firepower, I think I need to focus on denying psychic stupidity and bringing down wraithknights / super heavies...

The lower model count will be a positive too in terms of getting games finished on time! Here's the proposed list in full then. I went with 2 melta guns on the third biker unit to give some extra punch vs imperial knights etc.

Well the UK GT is now apparently using only 4 detachments max under ETC rules. So a rethink is in order. I could use the ravenwing detachment like this, though it would require some speedy black knight painting!
