Hi
I'm going to be fighting in a 2k game vs a new Tau army and a new Necron army. Both players haveliterally only just started playing both of these armies, however the Tau army will be a pain to defeat as my opponent as 'ubered it up' (ie the commander with 6 wounds and a 2+/4+I save). The Tau army will consist of the aforementioned commander, 2 12-man firewarrior squads, 1 with a Devilfish. A 12-man Kroot squad, a 3-man stealth team, a pirahna and a 6-gundrone squad. There is a fair amount of ap2 weaponry in there, and a lot of str 5 weaponry...
The Necron army will have a lord with a res orb and probbaly warscythe, 3 10-man warrior squads, 8 scarab bases and 4 destroyers.
Anyway, here is my list:
HQ - Winged Hive Tyrant - 2x Scy Tals, Wings, ADGLWS, tox sacs and warp field - 182
Infantry crusher, will be hugging terrain for much of the game.
Elites - 1 Lictor - 80pts
Will be used for ambushing necron squads, may drop him as may not be of much use.
Elites - 6 Warriors - ADGL WS+I, Tox Sacs, 6x Scy Tals and 6x RCs, leaping, extended carapace - 258pts - Meant as my slow-moving synapse, will be thrown at the necrons due to the rending claws.
Troops - 11 Genestealors - ext carapace - 220
Troops - 10 Genestealors - ext carapace - 200
These will probably be thrown at the necron side of the army, to deny the WBB rolls.
Troops - 15 Spinegaunts - 75pts
Troops - 15 Spinegaunts - 75pts
Meatshield. Purely and simply.
Troops - 14 Hormagaunts - 140pts
Troops - 14 Hormagaunts - 140pts
Meant to engage the enemy Tau lines as quickly as possible, will still do a fair bit of damage.
Fast Attack - 6 Winged Warriors - 6x Scy Tals, 6xRCs, 6 x Wings - 228
My fast Synapse, back-up for my gaunts.
Fast Attack - 3 Ravenors - 3x ScyTals, 3x RCs - 108pts
Will be along with my stealors in going after the necrons
Heavy Support - Shooty'fex - 1x BS, 1x VC and enhanced senses - 148pts
Heavy Support - Shooty'fex - 1x BS, 1x VC and enhanced senses - 148pts
My anti-tank/firewarriors. I didn't add ext cara due to the amount of AP2 weaponry likely to be thrown at them.
MY army is mainly a swarm army, with a nasty Rending punch to get through the Necron armour. ANy ideas/suggestions for improvement/tactics would be appreciated.
