Beating the meta - Embolden - 11-02-2013
So at Caledonian it became blindingly obvious that to come anywhere near the top of the pile at a tournament your list needs to beat or at least be competitive against: Flying Nids backed by 1 or 2 Tervigons and 100's of Gaunts, Screamer/Flamer/Fateweaver Daemons and finally Wraithspam Necrons.
After Matts success with Grey Knights I've been thinking more and more about using GK's again, they screw Daemons, Nids will struggle and Necrons will still be an issue, but at the very least Wraiths can be dealt with!
So with that in mind, I've come up with the following:
Coteaz - 100
Inquisitor - Terminator Armour, Psycannon, Lvl1 Psyker - 110
10 Strikes - 2 Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo - 240
10 Strikes - 2 Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo - 240
10 Strikes - 2 Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo - 240
Dreadknight - Heavy Incinerator - 160
Lord Commissar - 70
Platoon Command - 30
5 Platoons - 1 Autocannon, 4 Power Axes, 2 Meltabombs - 310
With 250pts left to spend I can tweak to whatever is needed, be in anti-flyer, Sabre Defence Platforms or I could add something like a Dreadknight or Leman Russ and Marbo..
What do guys think? I list to beat the meta or utter rubbish?

I'd spend the 250 on some terminators (not paladins) or autocannon dreadnoughts but yeah looks solid mate!

I've not been impressed with GK terminators, way to expensive for what they do.
Having a little thought about finishing the list how about:
Coteaz - 100
Inquisitor - Terminator Armour, Psycannon, Lvl1 Psyker - 110
10 Strikes - 2 Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo - 240
10 Strikes - 2 Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo - 240
10 Strikes - 2 Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo - 240
10 Warrior Acolytes - 10 Storm Bolters - 70
10 Warrior Acolytes - 10 Storm Bolters - 70
Dreadknight - Heavy Incinerator - 160
Lord Commissar - 80
Platoon Command - 30
4 Platoons - 1 Autocannon, 4 Power Axes, 2 Meltabombs - 260
3 Sabre Defence Platforms - 3 Guardsman, 3 Lascannons - 156
1750pts
