Hi all,

So my Local Gaming Store will be organizing a casual tournament with some altered rules.
Following rules apply: 1500 pts, one Codex, one chapter/legion/... (so no soup) and no ForgeWorld.
We will be using a combination of the new Chapter Approved missions (Eternal War and Maelstrom).
So with that in mind I think I will be needing some troops for those objectives in Eternal War since now they give VP from turn 1 and on but I'm not sure.
I think with a fast list I can get up the board very easily.

Here are some lists I'm thinking of using:

LIST 1
++ Battalion Detachment +5CP (Chaos - Death Guard) [86 PL, 1500pts] ++

+ HQ +

Chaos Lord [5 PL, 74pts]: 6. Arch-Contaminator, Bolt pistol, Chainsword, Warlord

Let me know what you think guys, your feedback is appreciated as always!

Altered the third list

I would take List 2 myself. PBC's with spitters are awesome; though this list will struggle if you face a Knights list, you have very few ways to damage them effectively.

Thanks for the input Zid! I forgot to mention that LoW aren't allowed as well :-). I tested list 2 and it was awesome. I only had problems with objectives that were being held by troop secure units. I can pretty much shoot them off but with eternal war every turn you get a VO if you hold an objective :-)
I'm just scared if I gave a heavy tank list like AM. So that's why I made list 3. If I gave a tank list with infantry I will move the PBCs up so they can use the flamers and let my hellbrutes shoot.

2 all day....not a fan of foot slogging cultist or pox lists

Yeah I understand your reasoning. The poxwalkers or cultists are just there for objectives grabbing in the back. Poxwalkers don't take morale tests so that's handy. And on a plus note it gives me 5 CP.
