Topic: 2500 Point DFOC Local Tournament

[badlybuilt]

A few friends and I are starting a small tournament to run over a couple months. I am somewhat unsure of what to field with a DFOC list. For this I have decided to footslog it and put out a large amount of bodies. It looks like I covered most of my bases except anti-flyer, but I currently do not own any FOC terrain pieces to aid in this. Also this will be my first time using a priest in a list. Please leave comments and advice. I only have 12 sisters superiors which limits the amount of standard type squads I can field but I do have 3 Exorcists and 8 Rhinos if needed. Will be playing against Nids, DE, C:SM ( maybe Tau), BA, Orks and Eldar. Thanks!

I would drop 2 squads of small retributors for more troops. If you are going to foot slog with sisters you need at least 15 or more in a squad. I would have at least 1 or 2 at 20 with 2,500 pts.

Yup you were fairly correct on this evaluation. I had submitted the list prior to seeing this response, and was stuck with it. Played my first game yesterday and my troops got smashed by turn 6 ( due to flyers). The HB ret squads did take alot of attention away from the troops/ melee units but 1 more troop squad would have helped a ton. I have to give credit to the battle conclave and repentia, they held up a full incubi squad + Vect + Drazar  for 4 turns killing all but Drazar by the end of them game.
