NSW 40k Masters Qualifier

N.S.W State Masters is almost upon us. Most of the spots have been taken, however, this Sunday is an invitation only tournament to determine a "Wild-Card" player for the championship. It is for the players that have played well throughout the year but haven't had the opportunity to come first at one of the major tournaments. Let's check it out.

Hosts: Good Games Town Hall - Sydney, Australia.
T/O. Jason - Sydney Hammer House.
4 Games - 1850 - 100% Battle.

TommyH and I will be participating for a spot at the Masters.....although.....at this stage I can't actually make the event.....................awkward. However, I'm still going to attend the qualifier as it's a tournament in it's own right.

Here is the link to the participating lists:

Lots of Eldar......Lots......of Serpents...................................Lots.

Only one list has Grav guns and there is only one other WK at the tournie. Might be good for me?

 ------------------

My list:

Iyanden Eldar and Grey Knights - The "Monster Mash" or "The Usual Variety."

Spirit Seer

5x Dire Avengers
- wave serpent, scatter laser, catapult

5x Dire Avengers
- wave serpent, scatter laser, catapult

5x Dire Avengers

5x Dire Avengers

Wraith Knight

Wraith Knight

Wraith Knight

Coteaz

3x acolytes
- Boltguns

Dreadknight
- personal teleporter

After tabling three opponents with my four serpent/three WK list at the last tournament, I thought why not just add in another MC! The DK is costly but it means I'll have four Jump MC's leaping about the place. Scoring is rubbish but I figure shoving a denying WK/DK onto enemy objectives is easier than taking them......maybe.

Skyshield Landing Pad

It's deadly. Skypad gets landed straight in the middle of the board with infiltrating Shadowsun/Centurions (for offensive), or, if TommyH has more objectives on his side, plant it defensively with Tiggy, who, in his own right, makes it an insanely powerful unit. With re-rolls on powers, it is fairly easy to get Ignore Cover and/or Precognition from Divination. Tiggy sits out front......(if he has precognition) and just tanks a 2+ re-rollable cover save, or, just Look out Sirs onto drones. The output of the unit is devastating with Prescience and a high chance of Ignore cover. At least 90% of people have told him that it is a rubbish idea.....lol.....they will find out the pain.  

------------------

Actually, funny thing is that a lot of people have told us that both of our lists are rubbish. What do you guys think?
