So I made up my mind and made the push to up my army to a 2500 point scale, ordered all the new Razerbacks and goods I'll need to do so and have signed up for the 'Ard Boyz at my FLGS. While I'm not expecting to do entirely well with this list, a bit of curiosity hit me and I started to wonder if it might be better than I think....
You see, the majority of the players at my FLGS tend to play very shooty armies. If it's not gunline, then its some form of hybrid. Not really any brick to the face, hard hitting assault armies. Now my list, its Death Co at it's finest. Not too great for objective grabbing, and most likely I'm going to have to try to table my opponent, but I think it will be fun to play. I'm also curious if you think it might actually fare well against gunlines. This came as an afterthought days after drafting the list.
Anyways, on to the list.
Total: 2500pts
HQ: 480pts
220pts Astorath the Grim
260pts Honor Guard with Chapter Banner, Melta, Inferno Pistol, Hand Flamer x2, Lightning Claw and Razerback dedicated transport
Elites: 170pts
60pts Sanguinary Priests with Combi-Flamer
110pts Chaplain with Combi-Flamer
Troops: 1260pts
380pts Death Co (x8) with Power Weapon (x2), Power Fist and Inferno Pistol (And Lemartes)
225pts Death Co (x8) with Power Weapon, Power Fist, Hand Flamer and Inferno Pistol
135pts Death Co Dread with Blood Talons and Heavy Flamer
135pts Death Co Dread with Blood Talons and Heavy Flamer
145pts Assault Squad with Melta, Lightning Claw and Razerback dedicated transport
240pts Assault Squad (10 man) with Melta x2, Lightning Claw and Rhino dedicated transport
Heavy: 590pts
215pts Stormraven with Extra Armor
215pts Stormraven with Extra Armor
160pts Vindicator with Siege Shield and Extra Armor
Death Co and Dreads go in the Stormravens. Astorath and Lemartes accompany the Death Co squads for extra killiness. Honor Squad goes wherever they're fast little transport can take them, buffing all nearby units with extra attacks.
Also something to consider, what would my opponent want to focus on killing more? The terrifying Death Co that threatens to rip him limb from limb? Or perhaps my two tiny scoring units that might be the game breakers. Hmmmm....
