Possible ATC lists
For those of you who dont know. ATC is a 5 man team tournament that follows ITC format with some additions.
Such as only 1 supreme command det per team and each each faction (excluding tags like imperium) can only be used by 1 person. So if i used Imperial Guard no one else can.
Each team has a team captain and they alternate picking 1 list to fight another.
So if i were team captain and i won the flip i would choose the guy that brought 3 shadowswrods to fight the guy that brought 4 imperial knights.
then the other team captain would pick a list he thinks can beat one of ours.

So now that the basic rules are out of the way we can get to the list and its break down.

This list is meant to be picked to go against hard target lists.

First problem i have is simple.
What Regiment should i use?

Voystroian gives me the stratagem to give 1 tank +1bs and gives my Conquerors heavy stubers 42" range to allow longer range on their rerolls. it also makes the 5 twin heavy bolters on the shadow sword a bit better.

Talaharn helps my troops live longer by not dieing to moral. Means more obsec in late game when they dont finish off that last guardsmen. The shadow sword and russ tanks will benefit from not loosing BS until they are about dead anyways.

Catchian. reroll the number of shots for all tanks. It can mean alot to the manticore batteries that only get 1 round of shooting shot to make their points.



So let me explain some for the synergy.

The command tank lets me increase the BS skill of 1 manticore or shadowsword by +1
(if im using voystroian then i have the stratagem to increase the BS of 1 unit.) shadow sword or manticore bs2 or 2 manticores at bs 3.
the trojan support lets me pick one tank and reroll all missed shots that turn. So if i was running vostroyan that gives both manticores BS 3 and the shadowsword reroll all misses. If not,1 manticore would be at bs 4.

If i use catchan. I would have rerolls on the number of shots and all the tanks that didnt move would reroll 1s. That gives the manticores and shadowsword more shots but i can only buff 1 to bs 3 I would consider droping the trojan and two vox casters to add a second command tank and keep the 2 tanks with bs 3 and have all the rerolls of 1 for not moving.



night shroud lets me make the shadow sword -1 to hit since it will be the big target.
psy barrier lets me add +1 to the shadow swords saving throws.
there is a stratagem that lets me add +1 to saving throws.
so i can give the shadow sword a +2 modifier. i would get a 4+ against lass cannons.


What do you guys think overall?
Im looking for critisim and ideas for improvements to the list and to figure out what regiment would be best.
And remember i have two objectives with this list. #1 go after hard target lists. warhounds, magnus, knights, etc
#2 if given a bad match up then deny as many points as possible to the enemy.
