What Sorts of Lists Are You Planning for the NOVA Open 2011?

Where are some of you at in your list development process?  Share in the comments ... you know, if you aren't one of those who plays it all close to the vest.

In the meantime, here's a list I've been fiddling about with in proxy games ... on the GK front:


Inquisitor Coteaz - 100
Malleus Inquisitor w/ Psycannon, TDA/Hammer - 80

5 x Purifiers w/ 2 Psycannons, Razorback w/ Psybolt Ammo (Psyback) - 190
5 x Purifiers w/ 2 Psycannons, Psyback - 190
5 x Purifiers w/ 2 Psycannons, Psyback - 190

3 x Acolytes w/ Bolters, Psyback - 65
3 x Acolytes w/ Bolters, Psyback - 65
3 x Acolytes w/ Bolters, Psyback - 65
3 x Acolytes w/ Bolters, Psyback - 65
3 x Acolytes w/ Bolters, Psyback - 65
5 x Acolytes w/ Laspistol, Close Combat Weapon; 2 x Death Cult Assassin; Psyback - 100

5 x Interceptors w/ Psycannon - 140
10 x Interceptors w/ 2 Psycannons - 280

Psyfleman Dreadnought - 135
Psyfleman Dreadnought - 135
Psyfleman Dreadnought - 135


Acolytes very frequently sit in cover and actually shoot bolters at things, when you know your opponent isn't going to be able to afford bothering to shoot at them.

Land raiders you say?  If one, spam w/ psycannons ... you have plenty of other crap to kill everything else; if more than 1, block and focus fire, you can afford to sacrifice psybacks blocking it b/c his army won't have enough otherwise to compensate.


What are YOUR lists looking like these days?

  1. I'll bite, I'm currently testing out this core:

    CCS w/ Straken, 2x Meltagun, Standard, Medic, Carapace, Astropath, Chimera w/ Dozer 355

    Platoon 405
    PCS w/ Al'Rahem, 2x Meltaguns, Chimera 175
    Squad w/ Meltagun, Chimera 115
    Squad w/ Meltagun, Chimera 115

    Veterans w/ 3x Meltagun, Chimera w/ Dozer 165
    Veterans w/ 3x Meltagun, Chimera w/ Dozer 165
    Veterans w/ 3x Meltagun, Chimera w/ Dozer 165
    Veterans w/ 3x Meltagun, Chimera w/ Dozer 165

    Devil Dog 120
    Devil Dog 120

    Leman Russ Exterminator w/ Heavy Bolters 170
    Leman Russ Exterminator w/ Heavy Bolters 170

    2000

    Along with variants, like swapping the Devil Dogs and Russes for 2x Vendetta, 2x Manticore. I'm going for this because I put a lot of time into my Command Squad, and all my models, and it is an amazing centrepiece for the army.

    That, and with the table quarters missions, it is just too powerful to not have those 400 points available to throw into the quarters of my choosing.

  4. I'm not sure that list is legal. Then again, I'm not sure it isn't legal. You're maybe going to need 2 min GK troops that fill slots.

    Really depends what comes out at the GK FAQ.

  7. Pretty much the same list I've been tinkering and building for some time:

    Rune Priest - CotS, Beastslayer, LL, TW
    Wolf Lord - TWM, SS, LC, Warrior Born, 2x Fen Wolves

    3x Wolf Guard - 3x combi-melta, 1x LC, 1x PF, 1x TH
    5x Wolf Scouts - Melta, MotW

    3x GH squads all as follows:
    7x GH, Melta, MotW, Banner, Rhino

    3x GH Squad as follows:
    5x GH, Melta, HB RB, HK Missile

    2x TWC - 1x TH, 1x SS
    Typhoon Landspeeder
    Typhoon Landspeeder

    3x LF Squads as follows:
    6x LF - Pack Leader, 5x ML

    I used a hybrid of it recently at a local tourney and did alright - my losses were due more to my own stupidity/inexperience at tourneys and not the army. And yes that list above is pretty much my final NOVA list
