Top Tournament Lists (Brighton Part 2)

So im now going to show you a couple of interesting Forgeworld lists that look quite tasty, and most people will not of played before.

Space Marines & Dark Angels

HQ

Captain Mordaci Blaylock (IA) (1#, 195 pts)

Special Character from imperial Armour 9 , Terminator armour and chainfist, stops his unit being pinned and allows them to pass or fail any moral check. He also makes terminators score.

1 Librarian (HQ) [DA], 90 pts = (base cost 65) + Displacer Field 25

Cheap allied HQ probably giving rerolls to the terminators in combat.

Troops

4 Scout Squad, 65 pts = 4 * 13 (base cost 13) + Sergeant 23
1 Sergeant, 10 pts

4 Scout Squad, 65 pts = 4 * 13 (base cost 13) + Sergeant 23
1 Sergeant, 10 pts

9 Scout Squad (Troops) [DA], 126 pts = 9 * 14 (base cost 12 + Camo Cloaks 2)
1 Sergeant [DA], 14 pts = (base cost 12) + Camo Cloaks 2

Cheap troops to hold objectives, the camo cloaks are a nice addition.

Elite
5 Terminator Assault Squad 200

Being scoring makes them a lot better, and well worth the points.

Heavy Support
1 Contemptor Mortis Pattern Dreadnought (IA), 221 pts = (base cost 155 + Searchlight 1 + Twin-linked Lascannon (x2) 30) + Cyclone Missile Launcher 35

1 Contemptor Mortis Pattern Dreadnought (IA), 221 pts = (base cost 155 + Searchlight 1 + Twin-linked Lascannon (x2) 30) + Cyclone Missile Launcher 35

1 Contemptor Mortis Pattern Dreadnought (IA), 216 pts = (base cost 155 + Searchlight 1 + Kheres Assault Cannon (x2) 25) + Cyclone Missile Launcher 35

1 Contemptor Mortis Pattern Dreadnought (IA) [DA], 216 pts = (base cost 155 + Searchlight 1 + Kheres Assault Cannon (x2) 25) + Cyclone Missile Launcher 35

So 4 Contemptor dreads 3 from marines 1 from dark angels, Hard to kill and a massive amount of fire power makes these a great choice, and their anti flyer capability is a big bonus.

Summary: Overall a good list with the 4 scoring units. The 4 dreads will do the heavy lifting and they sit in the av 13 anti Tau position so this could be interesting to watch.

Necron and IA 12 Dark Harvest Necron Allies

This is inspired...

HQ: 1 Destroyer Lord, Sempiternal Weave Mindshackle Scarabs 160

HQ: 1 Destroyer Lord, Sempiternal Weave Mindshackle Scarabs 160

Solid start to any Necron list, 2+ save, and probably being added to the Canoptek Acanthrites to make a solid rock unit.

Troops: 5 Warriors, Night Scythe, 165

Troops: 5 Warriors, Night Scythe, 165

Pretty standard not much to say here.

Fast Attack: 4 Canoptek Acanthrites, 200

Really interesting unit, T5, 3 wounds, s6 melta guns, and stealth not bad for 50 points each. Combined with the Destroyer lords this unit will be tough to shift.

Heavy Support: 1 Annihilation Barge, 90

Heavy Support: 1 Annihilation Barge, 90

Heavy Support: 1 Annihilation Barge, 90

Can’t fault these 3, probably the best point for point unit in the game.

Necron Dark Harvest IA12

HQ: 1 Overlord, Warscythe, Mindshackle Scarabs, Catacomb Command Barge, 195

Decent option, give another high threat unit to deal with av 13/14 lists.

Troops: 10 Warriors, Ghost Ark, 245

More AV 13

Heavy Support: 1 Annihilation Barge, 90

It would be rude not to take another one...

Summary: Another very good list, from just looking at armies on paper I would be tipping this for a podium finish. Av 13 spam, anti air, and a hard hitting rock. This just proves how points efficient Necrons can be.

Both Great lists, and show how Forgeworld can really influence the lists people take to tournaments.
