MooFool List

So I finally decided on a list that I like and works well with my play style. After some bad results with shootying lists at Tournaments such as Warpcon 22 and Itzacon, I have decided to go back to what I did best with for MooFool and the new season. The list I am bringing is the following:

Mephiston

Furioso Dreadnought w/ Extra Armour, Blood Talons

Furioso Dreadnought w/ Extra Armour, Blood Talons

5 Assault Terminators w/ 5 Hammers

Assault Squad w/ Razorback, Twin Las, Dozer, Searchlight

Assault Squad w/ Razorback, Twin Las, Dozer, Searchlight

Assault Squad w/ Razorback, Twin Las, Dozer, Searchlight

10 Scouts w/ Combi-Melta, 9 Sniper Rifles, Camo Cloaks

Storm Raven w/ Extra Armour, Melta, Assault Cannons, Searchlight

Storm Raven w/ Extra Armour, Melta, Assault Cannons, Searchlight


Total : 1850
So, the list. Fast and Aggressive. My kind of style. The list brings quite solid close combat ability with double Blood Talon Dreadnoughts, Mephiston and the Assault Terminators. Psychic defence is also brought with Mephiston which in today's Meta is something you really need to have in your list as a Marine player. Stopping powers such as Hammerhand, Force Weapons and Jaws can prove invaluable.


The list also has some decent anti-tank with 3 Twin-Linked Lascannons on the Razorbacks, Melta's on the Dreadnoughts and Scouts, plenty of strength 10 and 8 and of course the Gunships themselves, sporting 4 Strength 8, AP1 one shot rockets, twin linked multi melta and a twin linked assault cannon each.


The list also has decent scoring with 4-5 scoring units. One to two of those units almost always having a 2+ cover save when they go to ground.


The Cleanse mission should also give me no hassle with the speed of my scoring units and the ability to outflank with one of them. The ravens are each carrying 2 points worth, along with 1 from themselves. To anyone not in the know with this ETC mission, the objective is to control the most quarters with each unit counting as a certain amount of points. Scoring units are worth 2 each, other units are worth 1 and dedicated transports are worth 0.


Will be getting a good bit of practice in with the list before MooFool to try and work out the kinks in it.


Thanks for reading all. Any thoughts?

Lists, Lists and more Lists.

So after a very poor performance at Itzacon at the weekend where I got 1 win and 4 losses with a list I had never used before, I've decided that Static and Shooty armies just aren't really for me. 

So after talking with Eoin and Caolán on the bus back I've decided to go back to what I do best. 50/50 Ravens.

This is the initial list we thought of:

Astaroth the Grim 
9 Death Company w/ 1 Power Fist, 9 Bolters
9 Death Company w/ 1 Power Fist, 9 Bolters, Lemartes
Death Company Dreadnought w/ Blood Talons
Death Company Dreadnought w/ Blood Talons
10 Scouts w/ Camo Cloaks, 10 Bolt Pistols + CCW, Power Fist, Combi-Melta
10 Scouts w/ Camo Cloaks, 10 Bolt Pistols + CCW, Power Fist, Combi-Melta
Storm Raven w/ Extra Armour, Melta, Lascannon
Storm Raven w/ Extra Armour, Melta, Lascannon

Or

Mephiston
10 Death Company, Power Fist + Bolter, Power Weapon + Pistol, 8 Bolters, Lemartes
Death Company Dreadnought w/ Talons
Death Company Dreadnought w/ Talons
10 Scouts w/ Camo Cloaks, 10 Bolt Pistols + CCW, Power Fist, Combi-Melta
10 Scouts w/ Camo Cloaks, 10 Bolt Pistols + CCW, Power Fist, Combi-Melta
Baal Predator w/ Flamestorm Cannon, Dozer
Storm Raven w/ Extra Armour, Melta, Lascannon
Storm Raven w/ Extra Armour, Melta, Lascannon

or

Here's the one that myself and Dan were talking discussing.

Mephiston
Sanguinary Priest w/ Jump Pack
Furioso Dreadnought w/ Extra Armour, Talons
10 Assault Marines w/ 2 Meltaguns, Fist
10 Assault Marines w/ 2 Meltaguns, Fist
8 Death Company w/ 8 Bolters, 2 Power Fists, Lemartes
Death Company Dreadnought w/ Talons
Storm Raven w/ Melta, Lascannon, Extra Armour
Storm Raven w/ Melta, Lascannon, Extra Armour

To be honest I'm finding it very hard to pick a winner as they all have their advantages as well as their disadvantages. Lists 2 and 3 are the more likely contenders as they have Psychic protection which in 5th Ed is something you almost always need.

Thoughts?
