Topic: 2000 pt. assault army (would this get killed at tourneys?)

[phoneixlord]

I don't really have that much experience playing horde armies, and I have never played at any tourneys, so I was wondering if this list doesn't have the firepower to deal with the massed amount of troops that horde armies can bring, and if this would just get destroyed at a tournament. Any comments or suggestions would be more than welcomed.

I have not had a chance to play test this army, but i think its pretty balanced and i could use several different types of assault tactics, i'm just not sure which would be the most effective.

At tournaments you will mostly encounter Iron Warriors and Eldar these days, not very many horde armies.
The army has a mix of everything (numbers, firepower, mobility) and this can be crucial at tournaments.

yeah i wanted to make an army that was well balanced but also was edged more towards assauslting. i think that the army as a whole could pull off a pincer type attack with the assualting scouts and veterans on one side and be supported by the bikes or one of the tac squads for fire support or both. i really need to play test it, i also thought about using scout bikes to tie up a unit on the first turn, but then again i need to try this list out.

Indeed, a full Scout Bike squad (incl. Vet Serg w/ power fist, melta bombs) would be more effective in this army.
