Hey Gang,


Heading to Mythicos this weekend (NJ), and I have a brand-new list. I wanted to playtest it first, but life got in the way, so the army will be virgin going into the Tourney. So I thought I'd put it up here for some C&C.

NOTE: My list is at least partially dictated by what I own, so I can't really do a huge overhaul at this point to change directions. So don't bother with things like "add a Knight", etc . Looking more for load-out recomendations and tactics advice.

This is exactly 2000pts, so any additions would require removing something.

BATTALION
HQ;
Librarian Dreadnought - WARLORD (Artisan of War +1 DMG) - knows Quicken and Wings of Sangiunious
Capt Slamguinious (Relic - Angel Wings jetpack) - TH and SS

TROOPS
5man Intercessors - Aux Grenade Launcher
5man Scouts - Sargeant has lightning Claw
5man Scout - no upgrades

FAST
5man Inceptors - Assualt Bolters

SPEARHEAD
HQ
Techmarine on Bike

HEAVY
4x Predators - Twin Lascanons and Heavy Bolter Sponsons


VANGUARD
HQ
Chaplain - Jumpack and Power Fist

ELITES
5man Agressors - Boltstorm Gauntlets
2man Company Vets - jumpacks, TH SS and PF SS
10man Death Company - jumpacks, 3 TH, 7 Plasma Pistols/Chainswords


Tactics"
Castle in the back with the Preds, the techmarine and the Captain for re-rolls. Bubblewrapped with the Scouts. Intercessors for holding objectives.

Deepstriking the Death Company primarily as a destraction - the real threat is the Libby Dread and the Smash Capt (Using Descent of Angels to get across the board at the right time) along with the Company vets.

I know people say pfft! to Killshot, but 4x Preds have 44 wounds, so its hard to get rid of them (especially with a techmarine). And they fire 8x Las shots, and 24 xheavy bolters (re-rolling 1's until the Capt moves). The current meta is moving towards horde around me, so I think the heavy bolters will be key, with just enough Las shots to wear down any titan-size units until the deepstrikers can get close.


What do you think? Comment below!

Your list is illegal, ITC tournaments follow the rule of 3. So you can't take 4 of them.

Where is that rule listed? All I see on the ITC guidelines is the 3 detachment rule. I can see a rule for limiting a type of unit to prevent spam, but where is it explicitly stated?

Found it in the GW FAQ.

Soooo, maybe swap out for

2 Tr-las Preds
2 Baal Preds

I have to lose some points somewhere to make that fit...

RAW, baal preds cant use killshot, unless ITC house rules it. The stratagem requires the units name predator, not the keyword PREDATOR. A baal predator is not a predator.

Ok,


I've heard from several points on the internet the "Ball Predator can't use Killshot", and I gotta say that sounds like

The strategem say "Predator", not PREDATOR, and Baal Predator LITERALLY has Predator in the name! (and it even has the PREDATOR Keyword as well, which seems to only emphasize my point). I've run the Baal/Tri-Las list in a previous Tourney and no one said anything. Maybe that was just my TO, and others are more nitpicky, but it seems a stupid distinction. Baal Predators are the same stateline as Predators, they just have different load-out options and Overcharged Engines.

I would actually understand it more if someone said the Rule of 3 applies to 2x Baal and 2x Las Preds.

Anyway, end rant.

Chuck artisan of war on your smash cap along with death visions steat. Will give you more damage output as more attacks. Including against Knights. Also more reliable movement than the dread esp against armies with good deny / culexuses.
