I have a local tourney to attend on the 24th of March and I intend to bring a fun list. This is not what I would call 'uber-competitive', but I should do all right. There will be no comp-scoring, other than the required single HQ and two troops, though WYSIWYG and painting will add to the overall score to determine the tourney champion. The normal 3 games, this time with 2250pt lists.

Falcon w/ Scatter Laser, Shuricannon, Holofield, Spirit Stones -185pts

Fire Prism w/ Shuricannon, Holofield, Spirit Stones -170pts

----------

Total of 35 'Infantry', 6 Jetbikes, 9 Grav-Vehicles, and 9 Scoring Units for 2248pts.

The Farseer and the Vypers team up to send 21 rerollable Str6 shots at the enemy and provide a very significant distraction for the real push of 20 Avengers and 10 Scorpions. The Spears and Autarch provide a serious threat to the enemy elite, attempting to keep the flanks of the Avengers and Scorpions clear. The Grav-Tanks do what they do best, by eliminating highest priority threats early in the game. The most fun, I think, will be the Hawks, who I have yet to play in any game. Really, I like their ability to remove even the heaviest of the enemy armor, as well as their usefulness against light infantry.

What are your thoughts?

Also consider that Marines of all varieties, Eldar, Tau, and Speed Freaks are the most likely opponents to be faced in this tourney.

Runes of warding is far better than runes of witnessing.

That's my small bit of info as well as not having enough of a head count.

Drop dome of the more inneffective aspects and beef out on basic troops.

Either put another ws with 10 DA with WS and give all WS vectored engines ( mandatory in MHO).

Drop your vyper sqd down to 1 to achieve this or drop it all together.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Your points are a bit off. The DA's only cost 152 by my count. I would definately agree with giving all your tanks vectored engines. Dropping the Vypers, the hawks, or the wave serpent for the scorpions (since they can already infiltrate) would be the simplest ways to free up points. I would take a good look at what you want your units to do. Right now you only have 3 things to deal with armor- the hawks, the autarch, and your prism. If you're using the falcons' pulse lasers to take out tanks then you're wasting the falcons' other guns. I don't know what your local metagame is like but you might consider adding some brightlances somewhere if you know people like tanks.

The forums keep giving me an error message when I try to edit my post. Never mind about the missed points on the DA's, I didn't see that you took both exarch powers. But then my follow up question is- do you really need both powers or could those 30 points be better used somewhere else?
