Email in: Competitive DH list!

Sup Will,

I challenge you to make the most competitive army you can with DH and post it on your log :) I suppose you could use IG platoons too but whatever you want... Maybe make two lists, one without allies and one with...

Cheers,
Vince

People put in the points value please!

This is what I came up with for pure DH. I think it's okay with 34 S5/6 shots, 10 melta weapons, 4 lascannons, and some heavy flamers & S4 spattered about. Let's see what people think.

HQ -
Inquisitor Lord w/Psycannon, Psychic Hood
Servitor w/Heavy Bolter, 3x mystics
Chimera w/Multi-laser, Heavy Bolter, Smoke Launchers

Elites -
Inquisitor
2x Servitors w/MM
Chimera w/Multi-laser, Heavy Flamer

GK in LRs, IST w/o Rhino in LRC. Move Rhinos/LRC up in the front first/2nd turn to claim midfield with everything else behind it. Set up the MM chimeras behind the LRC and move the LRs out to the side so it becomes like a Roman legion (i.e. the MMs can shoot between the Raiders but are still getting cover. Rhinos park in front of Raiders for cover unless they need to move further up and slow something down with mguns. Inq Lord Chimera cna flit in between Raiders or out to side as needed.

I don't think it's a bad list per-say. It's taking advantage of 5th edition as much as possible but with huge price tags on everything and not having an speedy fast attack available you just don't pack as big a punch. Assuming GW scales down like it did with everything else you could expect to see this in a 1500/1750 game and it wouldn't feel out of place (though 3 LRs would @ 1500 :P). You just need to maximise your target priority, gain cover as much as possible and don't press too far but don't be too passive; capiche?

Against speedy ranged lists like Eldar and DE or Tau though you are going to have a hard time getting across the board. How's that Vince?

P.S. I hate you.
