Well I'm heading out to the tag team in Trenton Feb 2nd, and the aim of this tourney is to get newer players into 40k, or ones that haven't really played 6th yet back into the game...
...so the name of the game is not to bring the most brutal 1k list imaginable... the aim is to bring something fun but at the same time not a bad list that is going to hurt your teammate or not be able to achieve any scenarios at all!
I won't show up without it being fully painted, so my ork biker list is a no go... would love to do it, it's just collecting and painting that many bikes (even at 1k it's still 23 bikes!)
so here's some ideas I've had thus far:
Angels: (because that's what I'm painting these days)
Dante
5 Sanguinary guard - fist and infernus pistol
5 Sanguinary guard - fist and infernus pistol
5 devestators - 4 missile launchers
1 attack bike with multi-melta
2 priests with jump packs (attached to each Sanguinary guard unit)
pros: I'm already painting it, I have all these models, want to paint up those cool bases when/if they come in
cons: bases aren't in yet! very low model count, my scoring is also my aggressive element
Dreadbash:
2 big mek's with KFF & cybork
20 shoota boys with nob/klaw/bosspole
20 shoota boys with nob/klaw/bosspole
deff dred with 4 DCCW
deff dread with 2 DCCW & 2 Skorcha
3 killa kans with grotzookas
3 killa kans with grotzookas
pros: high model count, already painted, fairly competitive, lots of scoring
cons: kind of forces me to slow moving blob as only playstyle with it as none of the other fun support pieces for a dreadbash list can be present at this point level
Tyranids:
Tyranid prime - whip/sword, regen, toxins
tervigon with catalyst/toxin
tervigon with catalyst/toxin
11 termagants
10 termagants
2 carnifex (in one brood with prime attached) double devourers toxins
OR
Hive tyrant with double devourers and wings
2 hive guard
14 termagants
tervigon with catalyst / toxin
2 carnifex with double devourers
