They have announced that we are using Mission 2,4 and 6 from the Combined Arms Missions packet( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yMBZ9xROQ8y_GJtCW-05mk0lK-Lz9VHhL6Ao_BmZORk/edit )

The local meta is almost all Imperial armies (blood angles, ravengaurd, generic sm, wolf, AM/Skitarii mix etc.) focused on very little melee and heavy shooting.

Based on prior events we normally only get to end turn 3 at most.

Since 8th has come out I have not played very many games where I have been able to win. So will need help getting my lists in order.

My possible armies are either Necron or Chaos.

This is the current version of the Chaos army I can put together by Tournament time:

Building up the bodies for pure CSM as I started Chaos as a Daemonkin player that has more models on the Khorne daemon than humans.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744270/9692083.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744270/9692083.page GMT YMMV, but I don't like the D6 to hit rolls for the frag missiles - I just feel it's too unpredictable versus say a heavy bolter. Given you're looking at facing a lot of Space Marine varieties, perhaps a lascannon would be a better choice for at least one squad, to really ensure you've got the high strength to knock out tanks quickly?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744270/9692114.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744270/9692114.page GMT
Since it's for a tournament, there's also the opportunity to use alpha legion to infiltrate the berzerkers so they don't spend a few turns sitting in a rhino without attacking, at fewer attacks of course. I'd keep the rhinos if there were another lascannon target for them to distract.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744270/9692132.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744270/9692132.page GMT SM armies have cut back on tanks and upped their small squads of bikes with stormshields. So even with the randomness, d6 shots help overcome those shields in mass shooting I guess. Will think about switching them though.

And, yes, the three tanks/Prince stay together. I had forgotten about the Exalted Champ, changing the Khorne Lord to that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744270/9692316.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744270/9692316.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744270/9692324.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744270/9692324.page GMT
