Hi guys!
I will be playing at a tournament on April 14th. Codex/Errate freeze will be on 7th, so if the FAQ doesn't drop till then, I will be able to play with what I am used to!
If it drops I guess I will have to redo all the lists most likely, but I have to submit my list on 8th, so I wanted to make some lists in case it doesn't come.
I prepared an Alaitoc list and a LVO style ynnari list. Which one would you rather play and do you have input for changes?

What I like about the ynnari list, is that it doesnt really offer a good target for anti tank, making it quite useless while still gaving a lot of resilliance vs small arms fire with -hit and good saves in cover. So the obvious target for lasconnons &co would be the spears who have a 4++ (or 3++ with protect). For the Alaitoc list all the anti tank will most likly go into the flyer with -2 to hit, so it creates a lot of distraction for the spears.
I am not sure if I like all the troops I take in the ynnari list, it will give me some nice bubblewrap and deepstrike deny.
So the big difference beween the lists is Yvraine+Farseer+Kabalites vs. Crimson Hunter+1 extra spear+5 more Avengers+1 more tempest launcher+Windriders(I am thinking if swooping hawks would be even better).
Missions will be different for each game, 2 of them will be scored at the end of the game with held objectives, the third has scoring at the end if each turn, aswell with objectives.
From what I see there are about a third space marine players, some other Eldar, Necrons and Tau.
I am looking forward to your opinnions, thank you a lot!
