Hey all,
This week coming is a Heresy Wars gaming event at my local gw. Its a 1500 point 40k event that pits 18 players (one for every first founding chapter and their traitor counterparts) against eachother. It'll be my first competitive event of the year so I'm looking for critique on the list.
Thanks im advance.
SKYHAMMER
10man Assault squad w/ Flamer, Eviscerator
Veteran sgt w/ PF, LC
X2

10man Devastator squad w/ 2xGravcannons, 2xMM, Drop pod
X2

CAD
Captain w/Jump pack, Artificer armour, PF, Sheild Eternal
Librarian w/ ML2

5 man Scout squad

5 man Tactical squad w/ Melta, Combi-melta, Drop pod

Plan is, skyhammer down and combat squad the devs, assault if appropriate. They do their thing. Tacs with lib drop in and provide psychic support.
Captain comes down turn 2 on wards and hooks up with either the lib, to tank or with an assault squad to rek face

Solid list well tailored to fighting marines.

In my experience the eviscerator on the sergeants aren't worth the points as they can die very easily in a challenge. I also am not sure about the MM on the devastators because I think the purpose of the annihilation force is to pin units for the assault squads (although this can be done with the grav-cannon combat squads). I think 4MM and a melta may be overkill at 1500pts. Maybe go all grav on 1 squad and two of each on the other?

The sgts do not have eviscerators. They are vets with pf lc combo.
I brougjt the mms because i know ill be facing at 3-5 mauler fiends in two battles
