Looking to build a semi competitive list for an upcoming 1500 tournament. I realize Magnus and Fateweaver are both dice hogs but I like to have a backup in case Magnus goes down (and the rerolls are super nice). I know this isn't super optimized for warp charges but I don't want to dominate my opponents to the point they have no fun either (which Magnus can do with 20+ warp dice behind him).

The sorcerer shoots his burning brand from the Rhino to make that unit semi effective. The cultists just sit on objectives. I expect to face stormsurges, Ynnari wraithknights and a warhound (so I don't really feel bad bringing Magnus I guess lol).

What challenges will be the most difficult for me to overcome against those units with my list?

Sorcerer MoT Burning Brand
CSM x5 MoT x5 Rhino
Cultists x10 w/MoT
Magnus the Red

Omniscient Oracles
Fateweaver
LOC less reward, Impossible robe, ML2

1500

isnt fateweaver worth 900+ points and Magnus worth 700+ points on their own?? so already 1600? ...

No.. fatey is 300 base.

I'd say the list is nasty as, but if your against warhounds fair game.

I think for as many heavy hitters that you have you're going to want more juice. It doesn't look bad at all but I feel like at best you'll get off 4-5 powers reliably.

This list has 12+d6 (5 from Magnus, 1 from Sorcerer, 4 from Fateweaver and 2 from LOC)

Still not alot as both Magnus and Fateweaver will want them all but I can summon Pinks to help out a bit.

You're absolutely right. I have no idea where my brain went on that one. 12 is a better number of course. You'll still have to be choosy with your powers but when is that not the case. I recant my last post.
