Decisions, Decisions...


I have decided to go to this tournament.

Unfortunately as the tournament is 1500 points (a points value I'm on record as stating doesn't actually count as an army) most of my current lists become less optimised due to either being too kill point heavy (my rant on Kill Points as a system introduced to replace Victory Points purely because GW thinks no-one in the UK can fucking count is also common knowledge by now to anyone who knows me, but I digress) or less synergistic due to the units I'd need to drop.

This means starting from scratch.

All 5 Have Pros and Cons.

There are other potentials but these are the ones that interest me at the moment.

Suggestions are welcome...

  1. essentially they all look like they'll work. i think jump packs look the most fun to use though and of them i prefer the version with honour guard
