Heading to a Tournament this weekend, and I'm having trouble deciding on a list. Playing ITC Format, so three Detachment max.
I have two basic lists I'm deciding on, but the second has a couple of wargear options.
First list is
Hellrain Brigade
Tempestus Command squad
x4 flamers
Tempests Scion Squad
x2 meltaguns
Commissar
Taurox Prime with Autocannon/Missiles
Hellrain Brigade
Tempestus Command squad
x3 plasmaguns x1 meltagun, Plasma Pistol on Prime
Tempests Scion Squad
x2 meltaguns
Commissar
Taurox Prime with Autocannon/Missiles
Combined Arms Detachment
Commissar
Scion Squad
x2 plasmaguns
Taurox Prime with Autocannons/ Missiles
Scion Squad
x2 plasmaguns
Taurox Prime with Autocannons/ Missiles
Scion Squad
x2 Meltaguns
Valkyrie
Rocket Pods, Heavy Bolters
Valkyrie
Rocket Pods, Heavy Bolters
So, for the Hellrain Brigades, as long as the Commissars are alive, that formations scion squad goes into ongoing deepstrike reserves when it's wiped out. So, that's two Meltagun squads which can keep coming back turn after turn. The commissars (depending what my opponent is running), Either hide in the Valkyries all game, or are stuck in reserves. Lots of shooting, and the respacing squads can be great.
List 2
Hellrain Brigade
Tempestus Command squad
x4 flamers
Tempests Scion Squad
x2 meltaguns
Commissar
Taurox Prime with Autocannon/Missiles
Combined Arms Detachment
Tempestus Command squad
x2 plasmaguns x2 meltagun
Tempests Scion Squad
x2 meltaguns
Taurox Prime with autocannon/Missiles
Scion Squad
x2 plasmaguns
Taurox Prime with Autocannons/ Missiles
Scion Squad
x2 plasmaguns
Taurox Prime with Autocannons/ Missiles
Scion Squad
x2 Meltaguns
Valkyrie
Rocket Pods, Heavy Bolters
Inquisitor Detachment
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor
Master Level 1
Psycannon, Daemon Hammer, Terminator Armour
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor
Master Level 1
Psycannon, Daemon Hammer, Terminator Armour
The second list runs one hellrain Brigade, but I drop one of the Valkyries to add in two Inquisitors. They will start in a Taurox (or two) and be a threat with Psychic Shriek in the Psychic Phase, and the psycannon in the shooting phase. They could also deepstrike too, to add more deepstriking MSU.
This event lets you choose your warlord trait, as long as you're not rolling from the BRB warlord trait tables, so I'd probably choose the Inquisitor trait of 'Roll two dice and choose' for each reserve roll.
I'm leaning toward the second list, as I like the functionality of the Inquisitors and they are fairly tough and have thunderhammers too.
