In the distance of the far future... I'm faced with a difficult decision.

So this is a post about the lists I'm going to be taking to Centurion. The 1750 tourney in Australia (it's on while I'm visiting my dad, who lives there). So let's have a gander.

Ok, now originally I was going to be running:

Librarian, Shield of Sanguinius, Blood Lance
4x5 Assault Marines with Melta Gun, Razorback with TL Heavy Flamer
2x5 Assault Marines with Melta Gun and Infernus Pistol, Razorback with TL Heavy Flamer
3 Baal Predators with TL Assault Cannon and Heavy Bolter Sponsons
3 Predators with Autocannon and Lascannon Sponsons
1750

However, now I'm eyeing up these lists, it's a pretty simple decision though. Errr, well the change is pretty simple.

List One:

Librarian with Null Zone, The Avenger and Melta Bombs
3 Dreadnoughts with 2 Twin Linked Autocannons
2x10 Tactical Marines with Flamer, Multi Melta, Combi Flamer and Rhino
1x5 Tactical Marines with Lascannon and Twin Linked Plasma Gun Razorback
3x2 Land Speeders with Heavy Flamer and Multi Melta
3 Predators with Autocannon and Heavy Bolter Sponsons
1750

Ok, that's the first list. The second list is really similar. Here we go:

Librarian with Null Zone, The Avenger
3 Dreadnoughts with 2 Twin Linked Autocannons
2x10 Tactical Marines with Flamer, Multi Melta and Rhino
2x5 Tactical Marines with Lascannon and Twin Linked Plasma Gun Razorback
1x2 Land Speeders with Heavy Flamer and Multi Melta
2x1 Land Speeders with Heavy Flamer and Multi Melta
3 Predators with Autocannon and Heavy Bolter Sponsons
1750

So I drop 2 Combi Flamers, Melta Bombs and 2 Land Speeders for a unit of 5 Marines in a lasplas razor. Now, I'm going to playtest the shit out of both lists, don't get me wrong, but I don't know which one I'll end up going with.

And (funnily, at least to me) I asked Kirby for some advice, and he pointed out that my second list is the exact same as his, except he runs his speeders in two squadrons of two. Great minds think alike it seems.

Thanks folks.

  2. Just got a game in with the one with 4 speeders.

    I don't think I can go back to the BA one Kirby. Loving the 9 autocannons too much.

    ^^

    Although in that game I found myself wishing I had more speeders (by the end of the game I had one immob speeder with a HF, and one speeder with no guns), but at the same time not wanting to drop a razor squad (as I had 2 driving about).

    Hrm. Testing shall continue.

  4. I still think it's ironic that the list is the same as mine and same with the 1750 Thunderbubble lists we did. Great minds :P (well we know mine is! lol)
