About to play in my first game of 7th edition and it's going to be in a tournament setting. Please help.

I'm thinking of running this list for a 1000 point tourney on Saturday. It's got a few points to spare. Basic idea is for the daemon prince to fly around dropping plague bearers or nurglings on objectives while the preds and oblits blast everything. Late game the daemon prince will kill anything if he lives that long.

Tourney restrictions are 2 CAD/formations max. Following ITC rules.

current total 922


HQ- 285

nurgle daemon prince, wings, armor, mastery level 2. aura of dark glory

Troops- 120

2 squads autogun cultists, champs with pistol and ccw

Heavy support-517

2x preds with TL lascannon and lascannon sponsons

3 nurgle obliterators


I'm well open to bringing different models in assuming I have them.

The obliterators on their own will be enough to blast anything to the warp and back again. I'd recommend dropping the predators and cultists to get two nice groups of Plague Marines with Plasma Guns, I think they'd serve better in a competitive environment. Lascannon predators are just too expensive for what they do in a competitive environment. But I really like the summoning DP, such a shame you could only get ML 2.

Well I've got one squad of pm's painted up with double plasma, so I can do those guys in a rhino, take a squad of nurgle csm with two meltas and ditch the preds.

OR, I could drop the preds and bring the 3 helbrute formation , all with reapers and p scourge.

maybe just take another sorcerer for more summoning power?
