So in a few weeks I'll be heading off to Assault on Arkham 40k tournament, and I'm hopeful that I will do a better than last time, considering I came last. So with that in mind I have decided to park my battlewagons and go for a simple option.
Event Details
Arkham Gaming Centre is proud to host this Warhammer 40K tournament, run in conjunction with Jonny Fisher. This 2 day ranking 1750 point tournament will allow the best 40K players in Ireland North & South to make war across the tabletop.
So with that in mind the next stage was to think about what I was going to take,
and for me it was quite an easy decision.

From the very outset I wanted to try and keep it as simple as possible, and I think I have done this quite well, although it would be interesting to see if you guys have any feedback or suggestions, that I need to incorporate or change into the list.
Sadly I cannot attend - I knew I wouldn't get my Blood Angels ready in time, and had no desire to play one of my other armies, so never got a ticket. :(
ReplyDeleteAim is to finish my BA in time for next year's WarpCon and Dominion Day, so I attend at least as many major tournies as this year.
Thats a pity, Richard. I am sure you would have enjoyed the weekend. Jonny runs a very casual laid back tournament.
ReplyDeleteIll see you there again, i was the one and only nid player at arkhams summer of war- so very disappointed with the death of the gribblies on the competitive scene :(
ReplyDeleteeven more disappointed ill be joining the mass bug exodus- venomspam and purifiers are just too hard counters and too prevalent on the scene
as for your proposed list- much tougher to deal with than the battlewagon one, target saturation and moving cover saves is nice. Suppose my only comments would be that the lootas and deffkoptas are easy targets (relatively little firepower needed to get 6 KPs out of them) but with all those walkers and boyz bearing down, they will probably escape attention :)
Im always down at Arkham on Wed nights if you ever fancy a game

Thank you Mike and I might just take you up on the game, as I hope to be up sometime very soon. The KP in my list is a concern and I think I'm going to have to change it a little.
ReplyDeleteAlso don't give up on the nids as there is still some pretty good lists going about.
