Total of 2000 points and 20 kill points
The scenarios for the tournament are mostly standard but ive got the list here from the players pack.
Game 1 - Capture & Control & Dawn of War (One objective in each deployment zone)
Game 2 – Recon & Pitched Battle (Players with the most scoring units in their opponent’s deployment zone win. Deployment zones are 15” instead of 12”.
Game 3 - Seize Ground & Spearhead (Five objectives)
Game 4 – Cleanse & Spearhead (Players holding the most table quarters win. A quarter is held when you have scoring units and your opponent has no units completely within the quarter.)
Game 5 – Take & Hold & Dawn of War (The player with the most scoring units with a model within 12” of the centre wins.)
Game 6 - Annihilation/Pitched Battle
Any Advise at all would be great :)"
All the extra armor can go. Get rid of it. Shoo. That's 90 points saved thank you very much. With those points I'd be looking to upgrade the Rhinos to Razorbacks. Now I know there is argument for Rhinos *waits for Archnomad* but for me in a BA list when they are being used on small ASM squads, the Razorback is the better option. Why? You get a heavy weapon, you have enough mech to protect your ASM from assaults and you're not maximising the top hatch with only a single melta and a pseduo melta. When using them on Sternguard or Honor Guard squads, go for the Rhinos as they can shoot two proper meltas from the top-hatch. But for small ASM, I prefer the Razorbacks.
With that in mind any spare points can go into getting a 3rd Speeder or turning the two Speeders into Typhoons for more ranged punch (I'd probably go this route). The missions aren't bad and BRB based so nothing too fancy in that regards. Otherwise you've got mobile firepower in the Preds + Speeders, a beater unit in Mephy, a bunch of forward mech in the ASM + Honor Guard and lots of FNP/FC Marines with power weapon attacks thrown in for insurance. Looks good.
