As of today I am now invited to play in the semi's as one third round opponent from 'Ard Boyz forfeited his win to me as he realized he played a model incorrectly which may have very well been a game breaker. Had I beat him I would have placed third, but instead placed seventh. Now that he forfeited and gotten it approved, I am in fact third place and am on my way to the semi's, whenever and where ever they may be.
I've been toying around with a Dreadnought heavy list to take at 2000pts, and with an additional 500 points to play with I've worked it into a 'Ard Boyz list. There is only one troop choice for capturing objectives, but I feel very strongly that I can table my opponents with this list. I may drop a Death Dread for a Furiouso to make room for another scoring unit though.
Total Points: 2495

The plan is to drop the two Furiouso's in my opponents back field to either clean out troops or pop tanks and act as a threat to draw fire away from my Stormravens as they Turbo Boost across the field.
Death Co and Death Dreads will then deploy and break their enemies like the little plastic men they are. Dreads may focus on popping tanks instead if I run across many. The Stormravens will then busy themselves with turbo boosting around and PotMSing to pop tanks or harass troops.
The Vanguard Vets will come down later within 6 inches of whatever target I feel is the biggest threat, pop a tank or transport if need be and assault the squishy contents.
The Death Co and Death Dreads are going into the Stormravens, and the Assault Squad is also going into a Stormraven or walking on from reserves.
If I were to drop anything to make point room for another Troop it'd be the Vets.
