Adepticon Team Lists Thread

I think we can all agree that flyrants with dakka and electroshock grubs are going to be the go-to HQ, but FW units are 0-1 per TEAM, so only one of us gets to bring a malanthrope.

So what its going to come down to is, what do we want to do with the rest of the list? Drop pods full of gants/MCs? minimum troops in favor of more flyers in the fast attack slot? How do we feel about Exocrines for more AP2? Does anyone want to bring a formation (0-1 per team) or fortification (0-1 per team)?

I feel like we should all take roughly similar lists, to keep the consistency in each game at a maximum, something like:

Player 1:

HQ: Flyrant, 2x TL Devourers, electroshock
Troop: 20 termagants (15/5 devourers/fleshborer), 20 termagants (15/5)
Fast: Crone
Heavy: Exocrine
2x Tyrannocyte

Player 2: (+1 FA slot)

HQ: Flyrant
Troop: 3 DS rippers
Elite: 3 hive guard 
Fast: Crone, Crone
Heavy: Exocrine

Player 3: (+1 Formation)

HQ: Flyrant
Troops: 3 rippers DS
Fast: Crone
Heavy: Exocrine
Formation: Living Artillery Node

Player 4: (+1 Heavy)

HQ: Flyrant
Troops: 20 termagants
Elite: Malanthrope
Fast: Crone
Heavy: Exocrine, Exocrine
2x tyrant guard (mini fex!)

This means that no matter what happens, we have 2x flyrants, 2x crones, and 2x exocrines on each board - thats a lot of S6 and S7, and 8 haywire missiles + 2 haywire templates to help against opposing Knights and GMCs, and the LaN and +1 Heavy list come stock with 2 exocrines, meaning there could be 3 or 4 exocrines on the board at a given time. 

Then each list has either drop pod devourer gants, deep striking rippers, or a termagant screen + malanthrope to help grab objectives. 

I mean I'm obviously just giving my first thought, and its a slow day at work lol what do you guys think? And also, we still need a 4th since Russell hasn't given me the 100% that he's into it. Maybe Craig, since he also plays Nids?

Has to be 500 points, so barbie is out (mother fuckers). We can have multiple FW units, but each one is 0-1 - so 1 malanthrope, 1 dimachearon, 1 stonecrusher, 1 meiotic spore, etc.

Skytyrant I think works better than LAN as well, agreed; just throwing it out as an example since I know its one of the more popular formations. Death Leaper Cult and Manufactorum Stealers might be good too, just to do something different and be in-your-face early.

Mawlocs are great, and I have no problem with some of us doing the lictor-shame thing, problem is that you get 1 lictor and 1 mawloc, with one of us getting 2 mawlocs and 1 of us getting 2 lictors (with the +1 slot thingie).

Haywire heavy with the crones might not be the best, since they miss a lot, but I figured having the S8 vector and -5 I in combat would be useful too. At 1000 points, its tough to bring a reasonable tarpit to go after knights/wraithknights without sacrificing elsewhere, but it can totally be done. I mean 30 gants is like 160 points, which is chump change.

Just a heads up for something to keep an eye out for. Imperial armies ignore cover really easy these days with the Hunter's Eye Relic, Phosphor Weapons, and Orders from Guard. I don't know if you have any other options beyond just the cover saves but it might be worth looking into.

I think I might want to go like this:

HQ - flyrant, electroshock
Elite - 2 lictors
Troops - 3 DS rippers, 3 DS rippers, Muc
Fast - dima
Heavy - mawloc (+1 heavy, mawloc)
Tyrannocyte

1000 on the nose. gives me 2 small DS units to grab objectives, a single muc to hide near a home objective, mawlocs to do S6 AP2 damage, 2 lictors for survivability, Dima to ID eveything with S8 AP2 at I5 in a pod to get turn 3 charge.

Jeff, with the move and all, are you still in on the team tournament/adepticon in general? We need to confirm who is going to be our 4th player here (and possibly 3rd, if Dex isn't feeling it).

I'm also doing the 40k friendly (eldar corsairs babay), so if you're not going to make it then it might more sense to scrap it all together and focus on the friendly. Thoughts?

The team tourney is 100% of your time from like 7 or 8am on.

This guy gets it
