Originally was gonna take EldarTau, but got a feeling everyone & their maw will still be running that
BS on skyshields come
GT Heats time. Also, my friend amused me with his stories of playing Chaos as a stand in at Northern Warlords the other day. Therefore, a couple of lists for consideration:
Red Corsairs 1650
HQ
Huron Blackheart 160
Dark Apostle, Plasma Pistol, Gift of Mutation 125
Troops
20
CSM, x2 meltaguns 290
20
CSM, x2 meltaguns 290
20
CSM, x2 meltaguns 290
Fast
Helldrake 170
Heavy
x2 Obliterators, MON 152
x2 Obliterators, MON
1629
Plan is use Master of Decepticons to infiltrate as many of the
CSM units as possible, and just run forward and assault Eldar mech. Hopefully the threat of the Deep Striking Oblits will make them keep their serpent sheilds up, and the helldrake just comes on and melts stuff. Could swap that out for a third unit of oblits. Dark apostle there for Demagogue rule (leadership bubble of 10 within 6") and fearless. He has the extra wargear as I modelled him like that
I hope to god not to play Redeemers.
On that thought...
Iron Hands 1650
HQ
Captain, with Artificer armour, with Shield Eternal (eternal warrior & adamantium will), thunder hammer 190
Chaplian, power fist 115
Troops

10 Tactical Marines, flamer, plasma cannon, combi-flamer. Pod 205
Elites

Ironclad Dreadnought, Melta + flamer,

5 Assault Terminators, 4 with Thunder Hammers, Sarge with

Egg basket syndrome to the max. Commander NoobPwner goes in
LRR obviously with Charlie Chaplain and moves forward at a rate of knots, trying to not get blown to bits by wraithcannons en-route. 1st turn the Ironclads pod in, and try to stay away from wraithknights too (actually wraithknights are gonna be a pain in the balls), then troops later. That captain is gonna be a nightmare though - It Will Not Die, Eternal warrior & 6+
FNP. It Will Not Die on all vehicles too. & Chaplain
