Caledonian 2015 build up and tournament thread!

[Embolden]

Evening all, so myself and Nick are heading to Cally 2015 in a couple of weeks, Cally has grown to be the biggest 40k event in the UK at 180 people, which is going to be crazy fun!

Before we go, we're getting a few games in at sanctuary on sunday 4/1 (from 11am) if anyone is interested in joining us, you're more than welcome. Would be good to see some old faces again!

The list I submitted is:

HQ1: Farseer (100) Jetbike (15) Mantle of the Laughing God (40) Spiristone of Anath'lan (15) Singing Spear (5) = [175]
HQ2: Farseer (100) Jetbike (15) = [115] (WARLORD)

Troop1: 5 Dire Avengers (65) = [65] in Transport1
Troop2: 5 Dire Avengers (65) = [65] in Transport2
Troop3: 5 Dire Avengers (65) = [65] in Transport3

Elite2: 5 Fire Dragons (110) = [110] in Transport4

Heavy1: Wraithknight (240) = [240]
Heavy2: Wraithknight (240) = [240]
Heavy3: Vauls Wrath Support Battery: 2 Shadow Weavers (60) = [60]

Transport1: Wave Serpent (115) Twin Linked Scatter Laser (5) = [120]
Transport2: Wave Serpent (115) Twin Linked Scatter Laser (5) = [120]
Transport3: Wave Serpent (115) Twin Linked Scatter Laser (5) = [120]
Transport4: Wave Serpent (115) Twin Linked Scatter Laser (5) = [120]

Inquisitorial Detachment: Codex Inquisition:
HQ1: Ordo Malleus Inquisitor (25) 2 Servo Skulls (6) Psyker Lvl1 (30) Force Sword (0) = [61]

Elite1: Henchman Warband: 2 Acolytes (8) Psyker (10) = [18] in Transport 1
Elite2: Henchman Warband: 2 Acolytes (8) Psyker (10) = [18] in Transport 2
Elite3: Henchman Warband: 2 Acolytes (8) Psyker (10) = [18]

Transport1: Chimera (55) 2 Heavy Bolters (0) Psybolt Ammo (5) = [60]
Transport2: Chimera (55) 2 Heavy Bolters (0) Psybolt Ammo (5) = [60]

Total = [1850]

Basic idea is I start with 10 WC and to Summon a Lvl2 Tzeench Herald and a unit of Horrors, leaving a few dice for Shriek or whatever the Inquisition roll or any Perils safeguards. Then go from there, had a few practice games and things are looking good.

My aim for Cally is a top30 finish. But anything around top 50 is going to be awesome seen as 5 ETC teams are all signed up (England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Belgium IE 40 top players)

But if anyone is free on sunday, more opponents would be welcome

Can't believe you can fit that much stuff in an 1850pt list! Can't make tomorrow but have a good one and good luck at the tournament, can see that list doing well in your hands Rob.

I can't wait!! Can't see myself beating last years 5th place finish but I'll give it my best shot! As I can no longer go tomorrow I won't have had any practise games with my blood angels so it could be interesting!!
