So I am wanting to build a tourney DE list with my army I am getting back tomorrow, and seeing as most tourney's are 1750(with an 1850 here and there) I am intending to make 1750 the goal. I've been doing some research and am thinking this:

HQ
Vect-245

ELITES
3 Trueborn: 2 Splinter Cannons-56
3 Trueborn: 2 Splinter Cannons-56

TROOPS
5 Kabalites: Blaster, Venom w/ Splinter Cannon-125
5 Kabalites: Blaster, Venom w/ Splinter Cannon-125
10 Kabalites: Blaster, Raider w/ Splinter Racks/Night Shields-185
10 Kabalites: Blaster, Raider w/ Splinter Racks/Night Shields-185

HEAVY SUPPORT
Ravager: Night Shields-115
Ravager: Night Shields-115
Ravager: Night Shields-115

Inquisitorial Allies(NOTE: These are actual Grey Knight Allies)
Coteaz-100

3 Acoloytes: Power Armor-42
3 Acoloytes: Power Armor-42

Dreadnought: 2 TL Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo-135


That puts me at 1627. The Acoloyte's power armor can be taken out for 60 more points to spend. I'm not sure what to do with these extra points. Cut a little more for a Vindicare in a Bastion w/ Icarus?

Idea is simple: opt to go second, hide out of LOS, hopefully seize with a 75% chance and dakka the enemy. I am wanting to add more venoms but at this time do not have more than 2.

So how to spend these extra points?

update: Played against a tough white scar list(eternal chapter master, grav bike command squad, 25 bikes with grav and some flamers, 4 attack bikes, and 3 sicarian tanks from FW)

I won't post a full batrep here, but I realised I lacked anti-tank but found the trueborn squads to be MVP(they easily killed 4x their points). So how to add cheap anti-tank? It seems that a single blasterborn squad would be way too much of a fire magnet?

I take 3 blasterborn squads for exactly that reason.

You could try allies. I use Eldar allies for 3 war walkers and 6x brightlances.

I'd loose the blasters from all your warriors, swap 2 units for wyches with haywire and give the 2 ten men units s.canons. Keep your raiders empty and your warriors in cover (always go to ground/snap fire when shot at). Vect could do with some Grotesques + a raider. Also get rid of one ravager for a voidraven and remove that 2nd unit of Acoloytes.
