500 Points about 500 Points (Lists, Touraments & Rules, oh my!)

[Ian Mulligan]

I've got a few I'm messing around with, but will probably go for with my Lamenters (KSons didn't work out so great...).

HQ - Librarian w/ Shield of Sanguinus and Unleash Rage - 100

TROOPS

6 Assault Marines w/ melta gun - 128
Power Weapon - 15
Razorback w/ Assault Cannon - 55

Total - 198

5 Assault Marines w/ melta gun - 110
Powerfist - 25
Razorback with Assault Cannon - 55

Total - 195


Not sure on the melta, but I don't want to get caught with my pants down. Thoughts?

[Benjamin]

I'd say that looks like a pretty solid BA list. What do you thinking about finding a place for a Sanguinary Priest? You'd probably have to strip out the power weapon, put melta bombs in its place, and lose 1 marine and 1 melta gun. Hmm... I know the kids love Feel No Pain these days, but it's consistently let me down. Anyway, it's possible.

My Initial thoughts:

Herald of Tzeentch on Chariot

5x Bloodcrushers (all the bells and whistles)

2x5 bloodletters

doesn't get much more basic than that.

[Benjamin]

Jared could go all Tzeentch.

2 Heralds of Tzeentch, Chariots, Bolts
3 squads of 5 Horrors, bolts, 1 Changeling

Don't have a reference on hand for points, but I'm pretty sure that'll work. Might even be able to work in a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch by taking out another unit.

Figured it'd be a good time to bump this thread and remind people registration starts today (Monday) at noon.

And here's a different Space Marines list than the ones I've been toying with. All of these lists are really lean! You can probably beat this one.

Librarian, Null Zone, Might of the Ancients, Combi-melta (115)
Scouts x5, Missile Launcher, Sniper Rifles x4, Camo Cloaks (100)
Tactical Squad, Melta, Missile Launcher, Combi-melta, Razorback w/ TL Assault Cannon (285)

[canadianone]

And just like that... ITS ALL PAINTED! and of course now i feel like changing my list T_T sigh, back to the painting table.

[Chase]

Cool.

My crack at Grey Knights, 500 points.

HQ
Coteaz (100)
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor, Psycannon, Servo Skull x2 (46)

Troops
Inquisitorial Henchman Warband, Inquisitorial Servitor x3, Multi-melta x3, Chimera (85)
Inquisitorial Henchman Warband, Inquisitorial Servitor x3, Multi-melta x3, Chimera (85)
Inquisitorial Henchman Warband, Warrior Acolyte x4, meltagun x2, storm bolter x2, Rhino (92)
Inquisitorial Henchman Warband, Warrior Acolyte x4, meltagun x2, storm bolter x2, Rhino (92)

500 points.

If anyone else brings as much anti-mech, this list is in trouble!

The inquisitors hop in with the Servitors to keep them running.

The Warrior Acolytes are funny. One has a meltagun, one has a storm bolter, one has both and one has none. Let the wound allocation begin!

[Bill]

Yeah henchmen, guard and orks are def the most scary at 500. Guard can do a company command and two vets in chimeras and two hydra flaks. 5 armor 12 vehicles at 500 PTS is scary. Wish I had orks, they could be really beastly.

My crack at Grey Knights, 500 points.

HQ
Coteaz (100)
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor, Psycannon, Servo Skull x2 (46)

Troops
Inquisitorial Henchman Warband, Inquisitorial Servitor x3, Multi-melta x3, Chimera (85)
Inquisitorial Henchman Warband, Inquisitorial Servitor x3, Multi-melta x3, Chimera (85)
Inquisitorial Henchman Warband, Warrior Acolyte x4, meltagun x2, storm bolter x2, Rhino (92)
Inquisitorial Henchman Warband, Warrior Acolyte x4, meltagun x2, storm bolter x2, Rhino (92)

500 points.

Henchmen are honestly the nastiest army at this points level. Cheap heavies from Servitors, cheap access to Transports, and none of those useless "extra bodies" to drag them down. Yes, Coteaz is required, but it's not like Coteaz is dead weight on his own (I'm looking at you, Crowe). Screwing with Reserves and virtual immunity to Seize the Initiative is nice, especially since a Seize is particularly devastating at 500 points.

A note, though - Inquisitors can't take Psycannons unless they're in TDA, as you must replace "Terminator Armour's Storm Bolter." Still, 80p for a 3W TDA Psycannon is nothing to shake a stick at.

And that's why we have Sam check all the lists. I would contemplate taking that 30 points then and giving one squad of Servitors all Plasma Cannons.

If the units are forced out of the Chimeras, they'll be in some trouble. Plus, I don't think this list will have enough oomph to stop horde Orks. If someone has even a halfway decent Orks list, I'd like to see it. The only one I've seen so far is something like 120 grots.

[canadianone]

well, i think i have my list nailed down! this does however mean i need to paint another model though, but i have like half a month, so im not worried.

[Benjamin]

List I ran tonight at the store.

Bloodthirster, BotBG, Death Strike, UM, Instrument (300)
Pink Horrors x5, Bolt, Changeling (100)
Pink Horrors x5, Bolt (95)

I played against Pat's Space Marines biker list in the Spearhead Table Quarters scenario. Pat's mistake was giving me first turn. I dropped the Bloodthirster and the Changeling squad extremely well. Horrors shot, did two wounds, anti-infantry bikers failed both armor saves and ran off the board. Space Marines then charged the Bloodthirster, who only took one wound in close combat as he killed the squad first, then the Captain. So auto-win, with 500 VP scored and 0 lost.

I still like Pat's biker list alot; only luck was on the Daemons side this time as it is every time they win.
