Plenty of anti-infantry as is so maybe some more battle cannon tanks. (I just use one punisher) With Pound them to dust you get to re-roll your number of shots which is an amazing tank order.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9968298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9968298.page GMT Re:[2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list!
As for the punishers, I feel 2 is good to have over 1 as just having 1 will result in it getting focused down. The mortars are good for targeting the units out of sight and my infantry are more of a shield and objective grabbers so the punishers are actually doing most of the heavy anti infantry fighting. I would like more battle tanks but I think 2 punishers are necessary. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9969016.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9969016.page GMT [2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9969359.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9969359.page GMT [2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9969385.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9969385.page GMT Re:[2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list!
But I do feel I’m lacking with the long range anti tank. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9969777.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9969777.page GMT [2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9969808.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9969808.page GMT [2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9970176.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9970176.page GMT Re:[2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list!
The reason I’ve got scout sentinels was for anti deepstrike. Which is less of a threat now. The only armies that threaten me now with that are alpha legion and raven guard. So the scout move on the sentinels is still important. But after the deepstrike is denied the sentinels usually die. The reason why is because I force my opponent to kill them. Heavy flamers can be no joke just like a lascannon, but I usually send my sentinels right to my opponent deployment zone and tie up some big shooting unit, like basilisks or manticores. So if my opponent doesn’t deal with them then it’s helping me win lol. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9970651.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9970651.page GMT [2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list! hwt's and one CC into your spearhead detachment, move pask and your tanks into your cadian brigade and make your spearhead detachment Valhallan. Then you can give your mortars the order to shoot into close combat, letting you peel your opponent from your tanks so they dont have to worry about being charged as much.

The only thing I would worry about in this list is lack of mobility for your infantry and bulgryn.

What are your plans for warlord trait and relics? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9974848.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9974848.page GMT [2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list! VP farms otherwise looks pretty solid. The only other thing I would do is drop 1cp in order to take a unit of Space Marine scouts just to deny things like strike from the shadows and stygies or alpha legion cultist bombs that get the first turn]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9974869.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9974869.page GMT Re:[2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list! cp from my opponent and grand strategist to get mine back.

Yea mobility has been a weakness of this list. I’ve been trying to work a way to improve that but most transports just aren’t that great.

I can play around with some points and try and get a couple lascannons in the infantry. What suggestions for those swaps?

And the format of this tournament is for nova. I haven’t looked at what their missions are like yet. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9975497.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9975497.page GMT [2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list! NOVA secondary's tank commanders can be an easy 3 points each for headhunter, marked for death and shoot the big ones. As they don't quite use reaper mortars in each squad isn't essential but the tank commanders are a risk seeing as your opponent will most likely max out their secondary's on them as well as removing key units in your army ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9975983.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9975983.page GMT [2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9976188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9976188.page GMT [2000] - Astra militarum - Tournament list!

Any raven guard player worth their salt has a scout squad or two to claim the midfield before the scout sentinels can move up. But ratlings can deploy like scouts and perhaps carve out a piece of the midfield to safely deploy behind.


I thought ratlings deploy after both sides have deployed? So aren’t scout still able to shut them down?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9977408.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/756526/9977408.page GMT
