Here's a list for a local tourney. It's a bit of a skew list without many anti-armour options. The goal is to destroy all infantry, endure whatever firepower the enemy throws out and grab objectives. The two conscript squads, and the combined infantry in platoon 1 advance and engage the enemy. The psyker summons some daemonettes into the midfield. Everything else sits back and shoots, buffed by orders.

The tournament comp is one detachment, no lords of war, no D weapons, and no bonuses from formations.

Company command squad with master of ordinance 80pts

3 Priests 75pts
2 Commissars 50pts
Primaris psyker with ML2 75pts

Infantry platoon 1
Platoon command squad with Autocannon 41pts
2 combined infantry squads with 2 melta bombs and 2 bolters (priest here)
50 Conscripts 150pts (priest and psyker here)

Infantry platoon 2
Platoon command squad with Autocannon and bolter 41pts
2 Combined Platoon infantry squads with 2 lascannons and 2 bolters 142pts (commissar here)
2 Combined Platoon infantry squads with 2 lascannons and 2 bolters 142pts (commissar here)
50 Conscripts 150pts (priest here)

2 Wyverns 130pts

I like it, and I'm not great at giving advice on these things. I would suggest another psyker just to have some fight in the psychic phase, however, the list seems really balanced as-is, so I'd leave it.

Please post here (or message me) after your tournament and let me know how it went against your opponents. I've been trying to come up with a similar list to field myself.

Cheers, I was considering another primaris actually, but I feel it'd be diminishing returns on a further 75pts investment. I'm sure my lone one will burn through all the 'free' warp charge for summoning...

Thanks - the tourney isn't for a while yet, but I'll let you know how it goes!

Looks really elegant and brutal. You have around 170 wounds there on objective secured troops who wont run off the board if they lose an assault. Focus down enemy troops + camp the objectives = win. How do you get deamonettes, isint that malefic powers?

The only things that can have any hope of giving you grief would be cheap massed large blast template spam(whirlwinds) or maybe foot orks?

Would also be keen to hear how it goes in tournament as well^^

Cheers

Yeah - guard psykers and space marine librarians have access to them. They perils on any double though, so aren't used as often. I've found the ability to throw down a rending daemonette unit that is strong against a lot of what my conscripts can't handle is really useful! I have a bunch of sinister-looking possessed guardsmen to represent them

Barrage spam does worry me - particularly wyverns or thunderfires. Foot orks really don't. I've never had a problems handling other hordes - anything that a lasgun can hurt is weak against this list haha.

The other bigger worries are multiple riptides/ghostkeels and light armour spam. I'd just have to rely on having enough bodies to score objectives at the end of the game.

And I'll let you know how it goes - as I said it won't be for a couple of months!
