Hi all.
I have signed up for a 1750 point tournament (team event at Melstrom games)
Here is the rough list i have so far.
Pedro Kantor
Tactical squad in Rhino missile launcher/melta
Tactical Squad in Rhino heavy bolter/ flamer
Sternguard (10 marines 5 combi meltas) Rhino
Sternguard (10 marines 5 combi meltas) Drop Pod
Assult Squad (10 marines, powerfist)
Devastor squad (5 marines, 4x missile launchers) lascannon razorback
Thunderfire cannon
General idea is the Tacticals are there for objectives and picking fights with anything smaller/weaker ie small squads of most things, if they run into anything scary then i'll either redirect the ssault marines their way or direct some sternguard fire that way.
Sternguard in the rhino are there to set up some covering fire from a decent possition, drop pod ones to drop in and take down the scary things (hopefully from a bit of distance or to be really cheesy drop the pod on an objective so my opponent has to waste firepower getting shot of an empty pod or it contests.
Devastators are there for popping transports and the lascannon razorback doubles up as a gun platform or they can bravely run away in it if they are looking like getting assaulted.
The thunderfire is there simply because its cool but i tend to have a fair bit of luck with it all the same.
Assault marines are there to tie up really scary units support other units or be supported by other units ie shoot them up a bit first with another unit then they can get in.
Pedro is there to go in the pod with the sternguard making them rather scary to most things and giving them an extra attack if needed and because he looks cool.
Please bear in mind (if you have read this far) that although i am not going to this tourney to beat face i would at least like to not let my team down too much!
Other models i could switch out for in my collection are
librarian (all types)
Chaplain (all types)
space marine captains most loadouts
a third tactical squad
command squad
assault terminators (enough to run all hammers/all claws or a mix)
terminators (with enough to run all options)
land raider
2 land speeders
5 sniper scouts
2 lascannon devstators 2 plasma devastors 1 missile launcher devastator 1 multi melta devastator
Hours have been reduced at work not long back so i can hardly just nip out and buy a whole new army but can add a couple of different units between now and then if needs be.
So with all that wall of text behind you, what do you think? any changes? different tactics? i'm hardly what you would call an experienced tournament gamer.
Thanks
