Army list of the week: 2000 pts dark elder

This list comes to us from the Invitational at Feast of Blades.  Overall it did pretty well, qualifying during the Qual by fire event (a last minute qualifier held the night before) and then placing at/near the top 10.

March of Wolves: List of the week - Thundercav + Lone Wolves.

So, you want an excuse to run your pretty new Thunder Cavalry models?  Well let's give you one!

Army list of the week: 1750 SW grey hunter spam

This week I was making up a super-sexy Thundercav list so we can have an excuse to use the sexy new models, but life got in the way and Ill I got written down was the Wolf Lord and 2 rune priests.  So, with that I am stealing this weeks "List of the week," from my good buddy Goatboy. With this month being "march of wolves," how could we not steal a list from him?

List of the Week: A Necrons @ 2000 pts

This weekend my wife was out of town on a "girls weekend," as such I decided to pour over the Necron codex until I found a list that I was comfortable in playing.

List of the Week: Blood Angels Mech 2000 points

This list is brought to us by one our emeritus writers: Immortal.  He recently took this list to a local 47 man RTT over the weekend placing 20th.

Necron "Rapid Deployment" List of the Week.

We all know Necrons can be super speedy in the standard movement phases. But one thing I never see people talk about is the speed necrons can move on to the table.

List of the week: Eldar 2000 pts

Hey hey hey! It's Monday (after the super bowl) so time to drag your still-drunk self out of bed and get to work.  To help make the day of Advil and coffee go a little better here is a list for you to ponder today!

List of the week: Pod Space Wolves 2000 pts

Alright, this week we have a really interesting Space Wolves army list.  It employs drop pods heavily and was actually quite fun to play against.  I saw this list at WargamesCon last year and I have to say that the guy who was playing it was a great player and all-around-good-guy. 

List of the Week: Dark Eldar 2000 pts

Hey folks of the internet.  It's Monday and that means it is time for the list of the week! Today were coming at you from the dark city of Commorragh.  This list was used in the 2012 Feast of Blades.  Without further ado, lets look over the list and see what we think.

List of the week: 2000 pt Blood Angels DOA

Its that time of the week, let's take a list from the most recent Feast of Blades tournament and look over it. Please add any suggestions/ tactics you would use in this list.  Please, small tweaks only.

List of the Week, Double Paladin Star!!!

Like them or hate them Paladins are here to stay, unless you take the high road with GoatBoy and decide to not play GK. So lets look at an over priced, out numbered death star list that probably has no chance in a regular game of 40K, why? cause the only thing better than one death star, is two!

List of the week: Orks 2000pts

Well, It is Monday and that can only mean one thing: You're back to work and wish you weren't.  Well, I can't help with the overbearing boss or the secretary who keeps making fun of your shirts, but I can help with the Monday Boredom (Maybe)... It's list of the week time!

Necron "Quicksand",List of the week.

Hello all, Swags here with the next list of the week.


This time I'm dreaming of Necrons and how their little tricks might add to big tricks on the table. So lets get to it, I give you Necron list "Quicksand!".





First things first we need to know that the Necrons are not as "point and click" as other forces so I will explain how it comes together after the list. Also I want to point out this is a bit of a theme list as I picked units and wargear that push the idea of slowing down the enemy, hence the name.

Necron Quicksand 2000 Points.

HQ1 -Orikan the Diviner
HQ2-Overlord/Warscyth/Tachyon Arrow (joins HQ1)

Court

Cryptek/Eldritch Lance/Solar Pulse (joins HQ1)

Cryptek/Tremorstave/Seismic Crucible (joins HQ1)

Cryptek/Tremorstave (joins Troop1)

Cryptek/Tremorstave (joins Troop2)

Cryptek/Tremorstave (joins Troop3)

E1-C'Tan/Writhing Worldscape/Grand Illusion

E2-Triarch Stalker/T-link Gauss Cannon

E3-Triarch Stalker/T-link Gause Cannon

T1-Warriors x 10

T2-Warriors x 10

T3-Warriors x 10

F1-Heavy Destroyers x 3

F2-Heavy Destroyers x 3

F3-Heavy Destroyers x 3

And no heavy support so don't even bring up Scarabs and Spyders and farming.

How it works.
This list is meant to keep the enemy at bay using wargear to slow them and long range high power shooting to put the hurt on. Also using the grand illusion to increase distance from my opponent and line up early shooting.

HQ-This unit is the two HQs and two Crypteks in a 4 man unit that will move behind cover of other units and terrain to line up critical lance and tremor shooting as well as being able to split the HQs off to counter charge in a last ditch effort. I can also step away with the lord and bust a Tach Arrow to split fire if he has a chance of being save for the following round. Such as the night cover provided by the Pulse.

Troops- Each one gets a Cryptek, they form the body of the force with the stave's pushed forward to get maximum range if needed. On the move they can drop the Tremor blast with a 40" range while wrapping behind the walkers for cover.

Elites-The C'Tan and his ability are key to working this list. He will remain in the back acting as a counter unit and using his powers making it extremely hard for skimmers, jump infantry and bikes. In addition to the devastating Dawn of War problem vehicles have when he is on the table combined with the Temporal Snares.

Fast-Basic spam of T5 jump infantry carrying assault lascanons is all! (possibly twin-linked)

That's about it. I like the range in this list,36" or more in each unit, and the chance for twin-linking priority targets is a good boost to the limited number of shots. Manipulating things like movement, terrain checks, assaults(don't forget one of the Crypteks has Seismic Crucible) and night fighting can be overwhelming for some lists or even players not ready for such a game.

List of the Week: Grey Knights 2000 pts

This week we are continuing the "list of the week," series with a 2000 point Grey Knight list.  here is what you do:

1. What things do you think are strengths of the list
2. What are weaknesses?
3. Who are bad match ups for this list?
4. How would you make changes to this list to make it better?

there are no wrong answers...go!

Army list of the week 11-15: Blood Angels 2000 pts

Well, I had to take a week off after Feast of Blades, but now we are back on to our regularly scheduled (horrible) programming!

We are starting a new thing, once each week we will be providing a single army list for your viewing pleasure.  We might get these lists from opponents or people we meet at tournaments, lists we bring to tournaments, or even from the dark abyss that is our brains, but no matter what, most of these will be tournament level lists (Just how good is up to you.) To protect the innocent we aren't going to say who's list this is or how well it did in the events we found it at (if it came from an event at all.)

Here is what I would like to see:

- Discuss: Strengths of this list.  I.e. if you were playing it what things do you think are your keystones?
- Discuss: Weaknesses of this list. I.e. If you were the opponent what is the weak link you could push... - What armies would present a bad matchup?
- Discuss: Improvements/ changes.

With that, here is the first list:
