Howdy.
2k tourney popping up everywhere here in Texas and I would like to do well. based on what I have read I am attempting to put together a balance list that includes units I like and is still very competitive.
Baron
(1) Haemonculus with WWP and Shattershard
(4) Trueborn with blasters in Venom w/ 2 splinter cannons
(4) Trueborn with blasters in Venom w/ 2 splinter cannons
(3) Trueborn with blasters in Venom w/ 2 splinter cannons
(5) Warriors w/ Blaster in Venom w/ 2 splinter cannons
(5) Warriors w/ Blaster in Venom w/ 2 splinter cannons
(9) Wyches w/ hekatrix w PGL & Agonzier w/ Haywire grenades in Raider with FF, Shock Prow, EAS
(14) Hellions with Helliarch with PGL, Splinter pistol & Stun Claw
(4) beastsmasters w/ 4 flocks Razorwings, 5 Kymerae & clawed Fiend
(3) Ravagers w/ FF
10 DL
13 Blasters
10 Splinter cannons
14 splinter pods
Not exactly what most recommend but is a bit of a twist. I can still shoot, although not as well as the pure dakka kabal list, and I can still assault, although not as well as the pure wyches cult.
What I am going for is more balance. I don't know if this in your face enough for competitive play at higher levels and have played 1 game like this and it went very fast. It looks, to my untrained eye, like it still has enough AT and enough AI as well as assault that can at least threaten armor or decimate weaker infantry.
Basic Idea, every thing deploys except the baron, hellions and beasts. Haemy joins wyches, goes forward and drops WWP. Rest of the flying circus moves as needed, either flat out or takes shots at greatest threat. Hellions and beasts come out of WWP and with 18" of movement ( move & Assault) assault the closest thing. With the hellions I can soften it up with shooting or fleet them if I need the extra little inch or two. Hellions are jump troops so if the WWP is blocked they can jump over intervening models. beasts can't but I can bring them in off the table edge and run if I have to.
I would be most appreciative of any comments, critiques or opinions on this list, especially for a more competitive tournament. Thanks much
