Hey all,

There's a large (~100 player) local tournament coming up in a few months that is focused on fun lists, great sportsmanship, and good games. Lists are rated prior to entry to ensure that nobody takes anything too tough. As all of the prizes are raffled there will be nothing awarded to Best General (outside of the title), so there is no reason to take an excessively hard list.

Here is the list I plan on taking:


Astra Militarum - Combine Arms Detachment

HQ
Company Command Squad 80
-Regimental Standard, Mortar Team

Troops
Infantry Platoon
Platoon Command Squad 115
-4 Flamers, Chimera
Infantry Squad 70
-Lascannon
Infantry Squad 70
-Lascannon
Infantry Squad 70
-Lascannon
Heavy Weapons Squad 90
-3 Missile Launcher Teams

Veteran Squad 155
-3 Meltaguns, 7 Shotguns, Chimera

Fast Attack
Vendetta Gunship 170

Hellhound 135
-Hull-Mounted Multi-Melta

Scout Sentinel Squadron 150
-3 w/ Autocannon & Hunter-Killer Missile

Heavy Support
Basilisk 125
-Hull-Mounted Heavy Flamer

Leman Russ Vanquisher 145
-Hull-Mounted Lascannon

Lords of War
Baneblade 625
-2 sets of Lascannon/Heavy Bolter sponsons

Total: 2,000


I'm trying to build a list that epitomizes IG and has a little bit of everything. I fully expect this list to be rated a 2 on a 1-3 scale (1 being weak, casual, or "battleforce" lists; 3 being efficient or well-built lists that still aren't considered overpowered or "cheesy").

What would you guys rate this list as on the 1-3 scale? I'm curious to see if others find this list to be as middle-of-the-road as I do.

Thanks for any feedback!
