Hey guys, big warhammer player, recently started entering tournaments and competitive play during my free time at university. I placed 2nd at a 40 man tournament last weekend, and i thought i would post the list i used and go into definition of what each does. I am looking for some serious, well constructed positive insight into what i need to fix, modify and redefine. it was a 2000 point game, if you didn't see by the title of the thread.

Okay, so Forge father makes all Heavy / Regular flamers and Multi / Regular meltas Twinlinked, my army is fairly heavy on the combi / flamer / dreadnought. His 3+ Invul 2+ armor, 5 init with the spear, digital weapons, mastercrafted makes him a serious threat at 190 points, He travels with the command squad in a razorback.
Lysander gives Bolster Defense ( which i use on a objective i really want, and place my scouts there, usally giving them +2 coversave, making them AMAZING objective holders ) and with bolter drill he travels with 10 sternguard in a drop pod to be placed whereever needed, his hammer and shield make him a great tank hunter, and wound allocator.
The Command Squad is great because i love feel no pain because its super gay and broken, nuff said.
The ironclad dread drops down usually turn 1 ( unless they popped smoke ) and takes out a priority tank, usually a vindicator, or transport of high priority.
The 3 Tactical squads are versatile and are great objective holders, takers, and field controllers.
and the Dedicated transport is... well dedicated transport... use the tanks as cover, etc etc..
Lookin forward to whatcha say.
