Here is my new list (I started a new thread so people wouldn't confuse it with the old list). Here was my goals in this list:

1) Not to be dependent on any scenario special rules (no deepstrike, no infiltration)

2) If I run into escalation to have it effect my whole army, but take enough speed to off set it.

3) To bring enough killy death to wipe out enemy armies to the point that I may be only holfing one objective, but I still win.

4) And last but not least take the Forgeworld Greater Deamon of Slaneesh, just because I can in this tournament.

Here you go!

Have you ever heard of formatting? Just curious.

I like it. Seems like it's going to be fairly solid. I assume you know where you are taking risk, but it'll be a competitive list. I like it. It's sorta sexy.. Hmmm now if you just took a bloodthirster as well, you could have all sorts of choppy death going on. Interesting.. very interesting...

Ever since I started using the latest verson of Internet Explorer, the test editor won't show up. The post was formatted in the text box, but once it is posted all the formatting goes away. I had to edit my post and add HTML code to format properly. If there is any body that can help with that, I would be much appriciative.

I though about doing the redundancy Greater Deamon, but the whole issue is scoring units, which the Bloodhirster is not. All the Slaneesh Deamons are meant to be disposable and eat the other army, but I thought the Bloodletters and the 3 Marine units I have can play support and objective grab.

I think skimmers might be an issue with this list as I only have a few units that can tackel them, the rest will have to realy on CC against skimmers and that is never garunteed.

I figured when it comes to Escalation, I'd rather have all my units on the board or none of them. This case, I worry that i might run into a Situation with Escalation that I have only one bike squad come in at a time and they be distroyed piece meal. But no list is without it's risks...

I also like it. Once the whole medusa campaign is over and the store isn't dominated by 24 foot long tables and tournaments, I'll be open to plenty of test games. It will also help me decide which one of my armies to use in the gladiator.

I had to post the list in a Quick Reply to get the proper formatting codes. Crazy.

Me_Person, I look forward to killing you soon...

There certainly are a few risks with this list. The main problem though is the one vehicle, the problem being theres only one. One rhino is pretty easy to kill, even if you did use the smoke.

Heh, you can try... Hey, what army are you using in the Rtt this week?

My Space Marines, which I am trying to get through as soon as possible, so I can get back on my Word Bearers. Doesn't stop me from continueing to test lists though.
