I've got a few list ideas for the tournament next month. The front runner so far is a Dark Angels CAD with Celestine in the HQ slot. Gotta change things up after getting my succubus doubled out by power mauls the past few years. What do y'all think?
HQ - Celestine the Living Saint
Elite - Mortis Mk 5 Dread w/ Autocannons x 2
Troops - Tactical Squad (10) w/ Plasma, Combi-Plasma, Missile Launcher, Rhino x 2
FA - Assault Squad w/ 2 Flamers, PF

I'd recommend taking some form of infantry instead of the Dread, doesn't really matter what is, just more units to score. Maybe some Ravenwing bikes if you have the models so you have something durable and fast to nab more points.

Yeah true. I was waffling between taking the two dreads or swapping one with a devastator squad earlier. I agree that taking more bodies is better for scoring, but the dread seems a lot more consistent wrt shooting and can bog down large infantry units that get too close to my objectives in a way that 5 marines can't.
I would do bikes because I have a butt load of them, but I was under the impression they don't score unless they're infantry.

You are totally correct, for some reason it slipped my mind that they are "Bikes". I guess my thought is just that your presently a pretty entrenched force without much mobility beyond Celestine and the assault marines. Having another skirmish unit to move onto objectives near Celestine while she presumably charges into combat will be really useful, considering that we score at the end of each turn. The rhinos will help you cart around, but, unless Madison makes a special ruling the vehicle isn't scoring so you'll have to be outside of the rhino to hold a point. |

You are also totally correct that I didn't have any mobility in the list, but that's partly because I didn't include the rhinos I have for them tac marines. Also end of the turn scoring? Mind is exploding over here. |

Considering bikes don't score, I like the list. With combat squading, you have plenty of scoring units on the board. The dread can help with heavy lifting.
I need to get a Celestine. So good.

If you bring Celestine, she has to leave her bodyguard behind for the official Warlord Parade Photo, now a sacred tradition at every Dice Dojo Tournament. No cronies allowed.
