7th Ed army lists.

So I am sure a lot of you have had games now.  Personally I am really surprised at the difference a small few rules changes makes, from everything scoring to 7's to blow up vehicles are some nice changes.

  I do think there is a difference now between 6th ed and 7th ed lists, I for one will be changing my 6th ed lists and bringing them into line with 7th.  I am also thinking of a new army using the Guard I have been building them for a while now (triple blob baby!).

  What are you guys thinking of for lists going forwards?

  1. I haven't touched my armies for a a year and a half or so. Pulled out some Dark Eldar and checked out the new edition last night. Came up with this.

    Haemon w/Liq-60
    5x Warriors w/Blaster in Venom w/SC-125
    5x Warriors w/Blaster in Venom w/SC-125
    6x Reavers w/CCx2.HLx2-196
    6x Reavers w/CCx2.HLx2-196
    1x VoidRaven w/FF,4x ShatterFields-195
    1x VoidRaven w/FF,4x ShatterFields-195

    COMBINED ARMS

    Haemon w/Liq-60
    5x Wyches w/HWG in Venom w/SC-125
    5x Wyches w/HWG in Venom w/SC-125
    3x Wracks w/Venom w/SC-95
    1x Ravager w/FF-115
    1x Ravager w/FF-115
    1x Ravager w/FF-115

    I think while the new force organization and psychic (*cough* Daemons) leaves room for a lot of cheese it actually gives DE the boost they need to build something balanced. I don't have to sacrifice Ravager firepower to take my Voids. Or if I wanted a slightly more competitive list I was thinking

    Haemon-50
    5x Warriors w/Blaster in Venom w/SC-125
    5x Warriors w/Blaster in Venom w/SC-125
    4x Trueborn w/4x Blasters in Venom w/SC-173
    4x Trueborn w/4x Blasters in Venom w/SC-173
    Ravager w/Disintigrators-105
    1x VoidRaven w/FF,4x ShatterFields-195
    1x VoidRaven w/FF,4x ShatterFields-195

    COMBINED ARMS

    Haemon-50
    5x Wyches w/HWG,Hek w/Agon in Venom w/SC-155
    5x Wyches w/HWG,Hek w/Agon in Venom w/SC-155
    1x Ravager w/FF-115
    1x Ravager w/FF-115
    1x Ravager w/FF-115

    Also comtemplating a few other tricky lists that I'm working on with shit like Wraithguards/Wraithknights coming out of webways. Invisible Grotesques from webways. Found a local store that does 40k so hopefully I can get in there soon.

  2. I'm thinking balance is the future, in that this will be the edition of MSU, Deathstars, Mech and MCs with the odd titan depending on tournament rules... So building a list that can deal with or at least compete with all of these build types will be so important! Fun times ahead I feel.

  3. One of the toughest game winning list (and arguably most annoying to play) in my opinion would be:

    CSM
    Sorcerer, bike, mace, lvl 3, spell familiar, invul
    3 x 5 Nurgle Spawn
    cultists

    Allies
    4 Tzeentch heralds on discs, lvl 3, one with grimoire
    Screamer unit
    2 units of horrors

    1750-1850 points depending on wg, # of horrors etc.

    4 CC unit rush, deamon spawn in back field relentlessly.

    Dull, not fun to play, but will win tournament games
