Post-Tournament, 1850 Critique & Advice
« on: February 23, 2011, 09:32:59 PM »
(Lots of writing)

Hey so looking back at my results from the Grand Tournament at Game Summit in Ottawa I have come up with 3 Lists that I think would be more effective than the list scene in this battle report http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=211293.0

The three lists I came up with mostly shifted the heavy support choice around, with some movement in the troops, and the addition of fire dragons.

List #1: has more str8 anti-tank, so that it doesn't have to rush enemies as much, although close up it has strong anti-tank abilities with the council, bikes, and fire dragons in addition to the many str6 guns. Meanwhile the guardians gained a warlock, as I felt that nothing could save them from being tank shocked (which made them stop scoring an objective in my 3rd game leading to my loss). The empty falcon is to be used as cover, anti-tank, and rescue duty, as it can take my guardians/any other unit into its hull to protect them if their vehicle dies/if they are injured.

(Edited since first post)

HQ:
(155) (Kin-Amun) Prince Yriel
(210) (Farseer Ra-Elith) Eldrad
(226) Seer Council: 7 Warlocks, 1 enhance, 2 embolden, 2 destructor, 2 singing spear
(110) Wave Serpent w/ TL shuriken cannon, spirit stones
(113) 6 Fire Dragons, exarch, fusion gun, crack shot (in holo-Falcon)

Troops:
(137) 10 Dire Avengers, exarch w/ dual avenger shuriken catapults
(110) Wave Serpent w/ shuriken cannon, Spirit Stones
(125) 10 Defender guardians, Scatter Laser Weapon Platform (counts-as)
(156) 4 Guardian Jetbikes+Warlock, shuriken cannon, Warlock/w/ destructor+spear
(60) 5 Dire Avengers

Heavy Support:
(175) Falcon Grav Tank, 2 Shuriken Cannons, Holo Field, Spirit Stones
(130) Falcon, shuriken cannon, spirit stones
(140) 2 War Walkers, 4 Eldar Missile Launchers

Total: 1847

List #2: it has a nice infantry wing with the wraithlord, walkers, and guardians to take an objective, while still having mobility, templates, and anti-tank from afar and in close range.

HQ:
(155) (Kin-Amun) Prince Yriel
(210) (Farseer Ra-Elith) Eldrad
(251) Seer Council: 8 Warlocks, 1 enhance, 2 embolden, 2 destructor, 2 singing spear
(110) Wave Serpent w/ TL shuriken cannon, spirit stones
(108) 6 Fire Dragons, exarch, fusion gun (in holo-Falcon)

Troops:
(137) 10 Dire Avengers, exarch w/ dual avenger shuriken catapults
(145) Wave Serpent w/ TL Bright Lances, Spirit Stones
(125) 10 Defender guardians, Scatter Laser Weapon Platform (counts-as)
(156) 4 Guardian Jetbikes+Warlock, shuriken cannon, Warlock/w/ destructor+spear

Heavy Support:
(165) Falcon Grav Tank, Shuriken Cannon, Holo Field, Spirit Stones
(155) Wraithlord, Eldar Missile Launcher, Brightlance
(130) 2 War Walkers, 2 Eldar Missile Launchers, 2 Scatter Lasers (I am going to order weapons+magnetize them, so you may advice other weapon configurations if you wish)

List #3: I am pondering over this because the two falcons+wraithlord give more survivable anti-tank than the walkers, as the walkers (as happened in my 1st game) got wrecked by str4 guns, and the wraithlord is good close up (flamers+ccw's) while the falcons can move around to avoid the danger of close combat unlike walkers.

HQ:
(155) (Kin-Amun) Prince Yriel
(210) (Farseer Ra-Elith) Eldrad
(251) Seer Council: 8 Warlocks, 1 enhance, 2 embolden, 2 destructor, 2 singing spear
(110) Wave Serpent w/ TL shuriken cannon, spirit stones
(108) 6 Fire Dragons, exarch, fusion gun (in holo-Falcon)

Troops:
(137) 10 Dire Avengers, exarch w/ dual avenger shuriken catapults
(145) Wave Serpent w/ TL Bright Lances, Spirit Stones
(125) 10 Defender guardians, Scatter Laser Weapon Platform (counts-as)
(156) 4 Guardian Jetbikes+Warlock, shuriken cannon, Warlock/w/ destructor+spear

Heavy Support:
(165) Falcon Grav Tank, Shuriken Cannon, Holo Field, Spirit Stones
(130) Falcon, shuriken cannon, spirit stones
(155) Wraithlord, Eldar Missile Launcher, Brightlance

Total: 1847

I'd really like critique on these lists, as I (luckily) can go between them once my order of eldar weapons comes in for the war walkers' weapon choices.
