http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net WH40k (Early Feb) and always have wanted to play but finances got in the way (I was in middle/high school haha). So far I have played 4 games. 3 against some sort of space marine army(one had 3 superheavies, one was a full drop pod, and a stronghold fotress or w/e it was) and a tyranid army (had like 4 MC and he used a tyranid formation that can DS like 10 of his guys). Had the hardest time against the tyranids army mostly because of 3-4 MCs in my deployment zone come turn 2. I don't know what kind of armies I will be facing in the tournament and I made this list to be able to handle anything in some degree that comes my way.

Primary Detachment:

HQ
Buff Mander - PEN chip, C&C, M3S, VRT, and Neroweb
Shadowsun

Troops
9 x FW
6 X FW

Elites
2 x Riptides - IA, Fusion blaster, TL and EWO
Riptide - HBC, EWO and Velocity Tracker

Fast Attack
4 x Pathfinder
4 x Pathfinder
2 x Piranha - Fusion blaster and Blacksun Filter

Heavy Support
2 x Missiletide - EWO
2 x Missiletide - EWO

Allied Detachment

HQ
Farseer - Jetbike and Singing spear

Troops
3 x Windrider

Fortification
ADL w/ Quad

TOTAL - 1748 pts

I know I am short on troop choice and heavily dependant on the riptides to do majority of the dakka. Any constructive comments will be much appreciated.
THANKS!

I will not be the last to tell you just how great skyrays are, I would consider them if you can afford, with their seeker missiles being guided (from seer) they can do AA if the missilesides fail/don't shoot and their marker lights are good as well. Not to mention its not as squishy.

Good luck and have fun! (also if time allows think before you make movements or shooting sometimes people tend to make mistakes due to rushing).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594261/6812679.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594261/6812679.page GMT ewo and vt. Kill them before they shoot !

Now in regards for the troops I am contemplating of replacing all of my troops/fast attack/fortification with 2 x squad of 10 kroots and 2 Dire avenger in a naked WS. Maybe I can find 10 more points to give WS better weapons. Thoughts? If I do this my local store will probably not play with me hahaha. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594261/6812853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594261/6812853.page GMT SL to be broken, anything else and their just good.

Also stick with this army, its like a tau force seeking advice from a friendly farseer and his ladz.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594261/6813341.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594261/6813341.page GMT
