So, this is a list I used last night against a Tyranid for kicks and giggles, I have to say it worked extremely well for reasons I will elaborate on in a minute. The List was as follows:
H.Q.
Bjorn
Extra Serving of Awesomesauce! -270
Elites
Wolf Guard x3
3x Power Fists, Land Raider Crusader -324
Troops
Grey Hunters x5
Flamer, Mark of the Wulfen, Razorback: Twin Linked Assault Cannons -165
Grey Hunters x5
Flamer, Mark of the Wulfen, Razorback: Twin Linked Assault Cannons -165
Grey Hunters x10
Plasma Gun x2, Mark of the Wulfen -175
Heavy Support
Vindicator -115
Vindicator -115
Long Fangs x5
2x Plasma Cannons, 2x Missile Launchers, Razorback: Twin Linked Heavy Bolter -175
Total: 1504
Now...there are several reasons why I think this list faired so well:
1) He only had 3 units capable of hurting the Land Raider, let alone anything with AV 11. These units consisted of a Winged Tyrant and 1 Troops Tervigon and 1 H.Q. Tervigon.
2) He realized on the 3rd turn he could turn Bjorn into an Objective.
3) He didn't Deep Strike his Winged Tyrant or his Shrikes.
4) I got EXCEPTIONALLY Lucky with the first round of shooting.
If I could make any changes, they would be the following:
1) Drop the Plasma Cannons in exchange for 2 more Missile Launchers. Vindicators dealt out enough Blasty goodness without their help.
2) Probably take the Lascannon/ Plasma Gun combination over the Assault Cannons. Would have helped taking down the big bugs IMMENSELY!
3) Put Extra Armor on the Land Raider. Really the Land Raider was never even scratched the entire game but next time I may not be so lucky. Comments and Criticisms are always welcome!
