I have a 1750 no Allies tournament coming up - good old Australia, so am trying to decide between a couple of lists. We've got ye good old stand-bys, Tyranids, Blood Angels and Grey Knights.
Tyranids:
2x Tyranid Prime w/Lash Whip, Bonesword, STalons, Toxin, Regen
3x2x Hive Guard
2x Tervigon w/Catalyst, Toxin, Adrenal
2x10x Termagants
2x10x Genestealers w/Toxin
2x Dakkafex
1740 points
Would like to get some extra points here and there to grab a Broodlord for each of the Genestealers for some more psychic flexibility.
Blood Angels:
Mephiston
2x Priest w/Jump Pack
2x10x Assault Marines w/2x Meltaguns, PFist
2x10x Assault Marines w/2x Plasmaguns, PFist
2x Stormraven
1760 points
Not really sure about this one. 40 Jumpers is nice but not as durable as last edition as they drop from a 3+/4+ or 4+/4+ or a straight 4+ to 3+/5+ or 5+/5+. Mephiston is going to be hard to hide as well and my only ranged shooting is the Stormravens and some plasma weaponry...
Grey Knights:
Inquisitor Coteaz
Inquisitor w/Psychic Power
2x10x Strikes w/2x Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo, MC Hammer, Rhino
2x5x Strikes w/Psycannon, Psyback
2x8x Psykers, Acolyte, Chimera w/Searchlight
3x Psyfledread
More vehicles here but we've also got 50 infantry, 48 of which scores (and 16 of which tries to fry itself). The vehicles overall aren't expensive outside of the Dreads so not a huge loss there and having the larger Strikes gives me more durability there.
Anyway, discuss. Tyranids are fully painted, BA + GK will require extra painting at this point but isn't that always the way?
