Let's show each other what our ideas of a viable matched play army with a reconnaissance theme looks like! Can a narrative list work in the pick up game tac environment?

My list is T'au, from T'au:
Battalion 5cp
Ethereal: hover drone, TUD, seismic destabilizer, 2 shield drones.
Darkstrider
1x9 breachers
3x10 kroot carnivores
1 Kroot shaper
3 ghostkeels, cir, fusion, TLC, shield, 2 steal drones.
3x10 pathfinders, 3 ion rifles each. 2 shield drones each.

Vanguard 1cp
Shadowsun w/ 3 drones
3x6 stealth suits, 2 fusion and 2 ml drones each. 1 drone controller.

It sacrifices some efficiency for theme but still has counters for infantry and tank, has combo and toughness diversity, plenty of board control. How does it fare against gw's expanded vanguard list? Post your own too!

I was thinking about putting together a more mobile csm list. Relying on bikers and plasma.

It wouldn't be the most competitive but it would be a blast to play and make use of my dozens of alpha legion marines I can't really fit into a list elsewhere.

Looks something like this.

2x Alpha Legion Battalion

HQ

Chaos Lord with jump pack, chain sword bolt pistol, warlord, I am alphalpharus, blade of the hydra.
Chaos Lord on bike, power axe, combi bolter
Sorcerer with jump pack
Sorcerer on bike

Troops

6x csm x 5 with plasma, combi plasma on champion

Elites

Chosen x 5, all plasma

Fast Attack

2x Raptors x 5, 2x plasma, combi plasma on champion
2x Chaos bikers x 8

Transport

4x Rhino with 2x combi bolter.

2000 points, 13 CP

It's a whole lot of plasma and bolter fire all starting in transport or deepstriking. Bikes run alongside grabing objectives and making deathballs have to choose one way or another.

Not to bad and really close for the full 2000pts mark point.

(thankfully i could just add in 2 chaos spawn and would get up too 2000 excactly.)


My mechanized with recon and aerial support R&H army could probably through shere armor weight pull through.
