I think the Scouts might end up underperforming with so little on the table, though; less chance of catching something with its ass on the edge for you.<br /><br />@VT2<br />Don't really like those Ionheads, although it's an interesting choice. Fireknives should give you all the MEQ-killing you need, so you're better off trying to fill something else out with those points. You also have no way to get FWs where they need to go, which seems like a problem.AbusePuppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413248837734103198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-80969255798804661552010-09-14T00:44:27.826+10:002010-09-14T00:44:27.826+10:00Glad to see smaller games getting some love; our g...Glad to see smaller games getting some love; our group has pretty much adopted 1500 points as our "standard" game, but 750-1000 point games are pretty common as well. I'm used to having a wide-open table, and feel like 1750-2000 point games would start getting too crowded. :)NockerGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303047137184142349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-71961362190323305622010-09-13T21:58:03.413+10:002010-09-13T21:58:03.413+10:00Whats your idea of a guard list, or is mine adequa...Whats your idea of a guard list, or is mine adequate?<br /><br />As for that tau list, fairly interesting :P!Killswitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870259848881215847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-48176146453098486142010-09-13T21:44:29.138+10:002010-09-13T21:44:29.138+10:00Necrons are completely hosed at 1k.

All of these lists don't have to invest as much in their defenses either as they can shoot you off the board at such point levels.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-18921383136337570842010-09-13T20:24:55.751+10:002010-09-13T20:24:55.751+10:00Interesting selection, heres a go from my perspect...Interesting selection, heres a go from my perspective:<br /><br />Space wolves:<br /><br />Rune Priest: 100pts<br />Jaws, Lightning.<br /><br />Rifleman Dread: 125pts<br /><br />5 Scouts: 85pts<br />Meltagun<br /><br />5 Grey Hunters: 115pts<br />Rhino, Meltagun.<br /><br />5 Grey Hunters: 115pts<br />Rhino, Meltagun.<br /><br />5 Grey Hunters: 115pts<br />Rhino, Meltagun.<br /><br />5 Long Fangs: 115pts<br />4 Rockets<br /><br />5 Long Fangs: 115pts<br />4 Rockets<br /><br />5 Long Fangs: 115pts<br />4 Rockets<br /><br />Imperial Guard<br /><br />CCS: 80pts<br />3 Melta.<br /><br />CCS: 85pts<br />3 Melta, flamer.<br /><br />10 Vets: 175pts<br />Chimera, 3 melta, lascannon.<br /><br />10 Vets: 175pts<br />Chimera, 3 melta, lascannon.<br /><br />Vendetta: 130pts<br />Vendetta: 130pts<br /><br />Hydra: 75pts<br />Hydra: 75pts<br />Hydra: 75ptsKillswitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870259848881215847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-87143779739032253462010-09-13T18:15:08.337+10:002010-09-13T18:15:08.337+10:00Dunno about top 3, since I only have my own experi...Dunno about top 3, since I only have my own experience to draw on and most of the players in my area aren't that good. However, here's some lists I've run with a bit of success:<br /><br />TYRANIDS<br />1 Tyranid Prime<br /> LW/BS, Toxin, Regen<br />1 Tyranid Prime<br /> LW/BS, Toxin, Regen<br /><br />10 Termagants<br />11 Termagants<br />1 Tervigon<br /> Talons, Toxin, Adrenal, Regen, Catalyst, Cluster<br /><br />1 Carnifex<br /> 2 Devourer, Regen<br />1 Carnifex<br /> 2 Devourer, Regen<br /><br />(This is a gimmick list- you have two Fexstars and you expect them to win the game themselves. Your Tervi should in cover/out of LOS as much as possible, your Termagants should Go to Ground whenever necessary. Onslaught on the Tervigon is something I tried on and off, hard to say.)<br /><br /><br /><br />1 Librarian (125)<br /> Jump Pack, Shield of Sanguinous, Blood Lance<br /><br />2 Sanguinary Priest (150)<br /> Jump Pack, 1 Infernus/Meltabombs, 1 Hand Flamer/PWeapon, <br /><br />10 Assault Marines (240)<br /> 2 Meltagun, Sgt w/Inferno, PFist<br /><br />10 Assault Marines (225)<br /> 2 Flamer, Sgt w/Hand Flamer, PWeapon<br /><br />5 Vanguard Vetrans (210)<br /> Jump Packs<br /> Lightning Claw/Storm Shield<br /> Power Weapon<br /><br />(This one is still theoretical but seems like a relatively standard BA build. You can easily keep everyone in Priest bubbles and cause a lot of damage when you come down. I'm aware the PWs are suboptimal but I like them anyways; switching in Fists or whatever isn't hard to do.)<br /><br /><br />1 CCS (115)<br /> Vox, Standard, Missile<br /><br />1 Le Soldat Marbo (65)<br /><br />4 Ratlings<br /><br />Infantry Platoon<br /> PCS<br /> Vox, Autocannon, Sniper<br /> Infantry Squad (80)<br /> Lascannon, Sniper, Vox<br /> Infantry Squad (75)<br /> Lascannon, Sniper<br /> Infantry Squad (75)<br /> Lascannon, Sniper<br /> HWS (65)<br /> 3 Autocannon<br /> HWS (65)<br /> 3 Autocannon<br /><br />Infantry Platoon<br /> PCS (50)<br /> Vox, Autocannon, Sniper<br /> Infantry Squad (80)<br /> Lascannon, Sniper, Vox<br /> Infantry Squad (75)<br /> Lascannon, Sniper<br /> Infantry Squad (75)<br /> Lascannon, Sniper<br /> HWS (65)<br /> 3 Autocannon<br /> HWS (65)<br /> 3 Autocannon<br /><br />(The list I've been pushing an IG friend towards. Fourteen ACs, six Lascannon, twelve Snipers, and a Missile Launcher, all of it backed up by rerolls on morale and Orders and a mystery Demo Charge where you need it. Depending on how quick your enemy is you either layer one line of Infantry Squads in front of the others or you combine into 30-man teams for maximum killing; either way, you're getting a ridiculous number of shots downrange, but have zero mobility. Make sure you set up where you need to be; one or both of the PCS can be converted to "mobile" units with 4x GL, Flamer, or Melta to grab a second objective, but you're mostly going to be wanting to shoot them off the table. Land Raiders are a pain, but you may be able to kill them and neuter the enemy at range.)<br /><br />Not the best three lists in the world, but something of a selection. Generic Marine and Guard lists can be scaled down fairly well also (i.e. guys in Rhinos/Chims with firepower backing them.)AbusePuppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413248837734103198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-25659068303362586522010-09-13T17:52:20.358+10:002010-09-13T17:52:20.358+10:00Im interested in your thoughts on some competative...Im interested in your thoughts on some competative 1kpt lists.

They feel more like a large kill team game or a narrative skirmish game ... and they're quicker to play too.jabberjabberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15314798958920326898noreply@blogger.com
