The deal is that it's a full blown tournament, normal list rules (i.e. 1 HQ, 2 troops, no restrictions, LRs, MCs, Draigo is all fine, you just have to be able to fit it in). The only deviation from normal play is that it's on 4'x4' board, and games are only 45minutes.

So, I've been a pretty hardcore GK player lately (went to the Ard Boyz finals) but 500 pts is a very different game. I have lots of possible 500 pt lists for GK, however, there just isn't a lot room at that point level, and things are pretty tightly constrained. I mostly seem bound to a Inquisitor for an HQ (I do not have access to much in the way of henchmen, so that's a no-go). I am tempted to try a daemon blade, though, while it's random, it could actually have an effect at this point level.

But.......I also have a Tau army. And while Tau mostly don't interest me much anymore, I CAN fit in two full Hammerheads, which it strikes me will be pretty overwhelming at this size. Better yet, I think at this cost the Ion cannon really becomes useful.

I need to turn in a list today, lists are due as the tournament is Saturday.

Thoughts?
