Having never played at 1850, I'm trying to come up with a viable list for an 1850 tournament I'll be attending later this year. I've basically added on 350 points worth onto my tournament 1500 list, however I am aware that this may not be ideal. Thoughts and criticisms welcome. HQ: Autarch on jetbike, mandiblaster, fusion gun and laser lance Elites: 6 Fire Dragons Wave Serpent, TL Shuricannon, extra Shuricannon, spirit stone, vectored engines 6 Harlequins all with kisses, shadowseer upgrade Troops: 5 Pathfinders 5 Pathfinders Fast Attack: 8 Warp Spiders inc. Exarch with extra Spinner 6 Warp Spiders inc. Exarch with extra Spinner 4 Shining Spears inc. Exarch, skilled rider, hit and run Heavy Support: Fire Prism + Shuricannon, Holofields, spirit stone Fire Prism + Shuricannon, Holofields, spirit stone Falcon, shuricannon, shuricannon, holo-fields, spirit stones, Vectored engines 1842 The quins obviously go in the Falcon. One thing I'm worried about is the 3 non-Falcon skimmers. I'm worried that with more AT about the Serpent will die easier and the 2 prisms may take no real part in the game as there will be less places to hide after they are shaken, so could suffer being permanently shaken. Any advice on what the 1850 metagame generally is and how to build for it are also welcome. To pre-empt, I've played pods quite a bit at 1500, so know how to deal with them well enough, are they much different (apart from being more of them) at 1850?
