There's a local tournament coming up soon I'm going to try to attend, but not sure what to take. My IG won't be done by then I'm pretty sure, so primarily the choice would come down to one between my Word Bearers and Orks. 1850pt tournament.

For an oddball option, there's also my Tau ambush force:
Hmm, seem to have overwritten their list. Well, the gist of it is:
Shadowsun
Three groups of stealth suits - 2x6, 1x3 which has one guy with fusion gun
2x10 Fire Warriors, photon grenades, one squad w/emp grenades
4x12 Kroot
2xBroadsides w/shield drones
2xSniper Drone Teams
2x6 Vespid
Everyone who can be bonded, is.
Thoughts on which I should take?
Power and Glory for Chaos! You knew I would say that though. Actually, I think you have a very strong Chaos Force that is a little better equipped to deal the heavy mech we see on the battlefield.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty awesome looking Word Bearers list. What I really like about it is that it is truly a WB list!
ReplyDeleteThe only odd thing in it is the lack of wings on your Prince, but I have run a wingless Price and know that he can be made work.

There's three reasons for that:
ReplyDeleteOne, that's how I modeled him, and didn't want to add wings. ;-)
Two, the group is the "Hell Hounds", not the "Hell Bats" or "Doves of Damnation", so it wouldn't quite feel right to me.
Three, tactically his job is often (sadly) drawing fire. Every missile or lascannon blowing him to chunks isn't keeping my ord blasts from firing or my rhinos from getting closer.
I wasn't saying it was a bad choice! I too modeled my first Prince without wings. I still field him even when I am not using my fandex.
ReplyDeleteLike you said he's a great distraction!
