I've gone through a few iterations of my Raven Guard list, and even had a good practice game, but I've realized that I can't make a list to deal with Celestine on a 4'x4'. With that in mind, I'm just going to bring a pretty standard GSC army and see what happens.
+Genestealer Cult CAD+
Patriarch The Star Father [ML 1]
Magus Sethlin Vander-Sond [ML 1]
Neophytes [x10 Neophytes, x2 Grenade Launchers]
Neophytes [x10 Neophytes, x2 Grenade Launchers]
Neophytes [x10 Neophytes, x2 Flamers]
Neophytes [x10 Neophytes, x2 Flamers]
Acolytes [x10 Acolytes]
Leman Russ [Exterminator Autocannon, x2 Multimeltas, Lascannon]
+Subterranean Uprising Formation+
Primus Esper Vander-Sond
Acolytes [x5 Acolytes, Heavy Rock Saw]
Acolytes [x5 Acolytes, Heavy Rock Saw]
Acolytes [x5 Acolytes, Heavy Rock Cutter]
Acolytes [x5 Acolytes, Heavy Rock Cutter]
Metamorphs [x5 Metamorphs, x3 Claws, x2 Whips]

You're going to score so many points, if for no other reason than I think you'll have more CAD infantry than anyone else in the tournament. GSC is just so cheap, you're going to be putting a LOT of targets in front of people, and while small units like 5 acolytes aren't that hard to take down with a turn of decent shooting, you have SO many of them, they can't all be targeted.
I do not look forward to playing against you lol but it would potentially mean I'm at the top table if we do play, so I'd take that.

Kill points has me concerned, but, at this point I'm just making my goal to kill some infidels for the Star Gods.

Yeah, I think your games will just be higher scoring that others. I think you should just weight whether the additional objective points are more that the kill points you give up from your msus. I still think it will work out.
In terms of Celestine, I feel like you just need to tarpit her, cause you aren't gonna kill her

In terms of Celestine, I feel like you just need to tarpit her, cause you aren't gonna kill her You'd think right, but, upon further investigation St. Celestine has 5 str 5 AP 3 attacks at Initiative 7, and her body guard have 6 power sword attacks. For my Ravenguard I don't own any 2+ save models to tarpit her with, so she's the perfect counter to my Vanguard Vets. My "plan" for stopping her with my GSC is just luck. Maybe I can snip her in half. If I can connect with even one cutter, she has a 50/50 chance of just being removed from the game. |

Good point. I kitted out my vanguard vets with shields, but then you're paying almost as many points for a tarpit than Celestine even costs

If Celestine was only for sisters, I'd say it's fine, but that she can be an HQ for any imperial army is just asking to be abused...
