Tomorrow marks the preliminary round of the Warhammer 40k 'Ardboyz tourney. It is all about smacking your opponent to the ground in the worst possible fashion you can think of. With that said, some concept of tactics is needed as there are objectives and additional battle points rewarded for various feats of greatness.
Scenario 1 is a take and hold scenario mission with bonus points for killing things.
Scenario 2 is a kill point mission with bonus points for table quarters.
Scenario 3 is a kill points mission with various bonus points for killing HQ choices.
I am hoping to take the following Black Templar army.
HQ
Emperor's Champion
Grey Knight Grandmaster with psychic hood
Elites
Venerable Dreadnought- twin linked lascannon, missile launcher, tank hunter skill and extra armor
7 Assault terminators- 4 with twin lightning claws, 3 with thunder hammers and storm shields, all with furious charge riding in a land raider crusader with smoke launchers
Troops
-Crusader Squad- 10 initiates with close combat weapons, 1 with a power fist, 1 with a melta gun, 4 neophytes with ccws in a land raider crusader with smoke launchers
-Crusader Squad- 7 initiates with close combat weapons, 1 with a power fist, 1 with a melta gun, 3 neophytes with ccws in a rhino with smoke launchers and extra armor
-Crusader Squad- 7 initiates with close combat weapons, 1 with a power fist, 1 with a melta gun, 3 neophytes with ccws in a drop pod with a deathwind launcher
-Crusader Squad-7 initiates, 5 with bolters, 1 with a lascannon, 1 with a plasmagun, all with Krak grenades riding in a rhino with extra armor and smoke launchers
Heavy
Predator Destructor (autocannon)- lascannon sponsons, extra armor, and smoke launchers
Predator Destructor (autocannon)- lascannon sponsons, extra armor, and smoke launchers
This is 2,500 even and has 4 troop choices and enough shooty stuff to handle many armies.
So, as Greg is the only other 40k player around these parts at the moment (come on out your closet sci-fi freaks), what are you taking?
