Flames of War Canadian Nationals Stats and Lists

Hey guys, here are the final standings for Canadian Nationals 2017.    

We played small, middle and large lists (1050, 1405 and 1865 pts) and here were the rounds/missions/list levels:

Small – Hasty Attack

Large - Fallback

Middle – Free For All

Large - Breakthru

Small - Counterattack

Middle – Dust Up

You will see some clever use of Artillery transports in Chuck's list (which will be nerfed shortly by needing to stay near the parent company)and surprisingly, only two of the lists below used more than 1 formation.   Enjoy.

#1  Chris Johnson did not submit to Dave (or Dave forgot to send it to me) but we have some intel, here is a pic of his army:

Medusa with closed top crew: 150 points
Medusa with closed top crew: 150 points

All I have left is the sentinels and autocannon team, but then detailing... sigh. Then I wont touch another Guard thing for a while !

New List

Alrighty, so this is a list I've been messing with, and more importantly, trying to build some models for:

HQ

Tyranid Prime with twin boneswords, Devourer and Adrenal Glands: 105pts
Tyranid Prime with twin boneswords, Deathspitter, Adrenal Glands: 100 pts

Elites:

Zoanthropes x 2 120 pts
Zoanthropes x 2 120 pts
Hive Guard x 3 150 pts

Troops

6 Warriors, 5 devourers, 1 barbie strangler, scything talons: 190 pts
6 Warriors, 5 deathspitters, 1 venom cannon, scything talons: 225 pts
Termagaunts x 10 50pts
Termagaunts x 10 50pts
Tervigon, Catalyst, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, Cluster Spines: 195
Tervigon, Catalyst, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, Cluster Spines: 195 pts



1500 points exactly.

What I need to do to play all-painted, I'd have to paint 2 zoanthropes, 2 primes. Obviously the like-armed Primes go with their respective warrior units, giving them ws5, bs4, and on the charge, each prime dishes out five str 6, ini 6, power sword, instant death attacks....

Squat List Update

HQ:

Guildmaster and Hearthguard (Company Command squad) with 4 melta guns, 1 plasmapistol, Chimera: 155 points

Thunderer Squad (Heavy Weapon) with 3 Lascannons: 105 points

Pioneer Squad (Veterans) 2 meltas, 1 flamer, Chimera: 150 points
Pioneer Squad (Veterans) 2 meltas, 1 flamer, Chimera: 150 points



HEAVY SUPPORT:

Medusa with Siegebreaker and closed top crew: 155 points
Medusa with Siegebreaker and closed top crew: 155 points
Colossus: 140 points

Swapped out autocannon team for lascannon team, and ditched marbo to pay for this upgrade.

FYI this is the list that was played in the last Batrep.. just getting around to posting now.

Squat Update

OK, so I havent posted on my progress, only because it is Epic.. instead of just finishing ONE chimera for last week, I finished a chimera, got paint on 4 more, finished the colossus, and ALL the infantry for the 1500 point list.

Therefore I'm going to gear it down some and simply finish two chimeras for this following week: the company command and platoon command ones, so I can differentiate between them and the vet ones.

I need to do that because: I played An00bis tonite, and yeah, it was DEFINTELY the dice.. this time, even though i was at the store, and forgot I had dumped my batch of dice into the Bayshore dice bucket, I REFUSED to use them, and instead used Jason's dice to smash him.

His own dice failed him, lost two critical leadership tests, two units of the board, and the veterans with only 2 meltas but one flamer paid off huge dividends, flaming into a unit of kroot to make them run off the board. Sure, when I am gunning down tanks, I would like the 3rd melta, but seriously, I like having that flamer back up for the later stages in a game when there are actual troops on the table. On the other side of the board, a platoon command with flamer also paid off handsomely, hitting a unit of "gone to ground" firewarriors, pushing them off that objective too.. Jason ended up conceding at turn 5, I had 3 objectives, and he had one contested.

But yeah, now that all 5 chimeras are green, I need to put unit markings on them so that they can be picked out.

Squat 1500 point target list

So with my post below, I made last night a pretty tuned up list, that includes a lot of the things I want to get done for a tournament, namely the chimeras, medusas and hydras.

Here it is:

HQ:

Guildmaster and Hearthguard (Company Command squad) with 3 melta guns, 1 flamer, Chimera: 140 points

TROOPS:

Hearthguard Squad (Platoon Command Squad) 3 melta guns, 1 flamer, Chimera: 120 points

Infantry Squad with Autocannon: 60 points

Infantry Squad with Autocannon: 60 points

Infantry Squad with Autocannon, Commissar with power weapon: 105 points

Thunderer Squad (Heavy Weapon) with 3 Autocannons: 75 points

Pioneer Squad (Veterans) 2 meltas, 1 flamer, Chimera: 150 points

Pioneer Squad (Veterans) 2 meltas, 1 flamer, Chimera: 150 points

Pioneer Squad (Veterans) 2 meltas, 1 flamer, Chimera: 150 points

HEAVY SUPPORT:

Medusa with Siegebreaker: 140 points

Medusa with Siegebreaker: 140 points

Hydra: 75 points

Hydra: 75 points

Comes out to 1440 if my math is correct. Still unsure which of the heavy support slots to squadron up.. will have to playtest to see.

1500pt Slaanesh Tourney List

Here is a list I am thinking of testing out this week, and possibly taking to the Locara Tourney in February.

HQ

Daemon Prince - 155 pts
Wings
Mark of Slaanesh
Lash of Submission

TROOPS

Noise Marines x5 – 140pts

Blastmaster x 1

Noise Marines x8 – 250pts

Sonic Blasters x 7

Noise Champion w/ Power Weapon and Doom Siren, Personal Icon, Melta bombs

Chaos Space Marines (10) - 255 pts
Aspiring Champ
Power Fist
IoCG
Meltagun (2)
Rhino

Summoned

Lesser Deamons x10 - 130pts

HEAVY SUPPORT

Vindicator – 125pts

Obliterator x3 – 225pts

Land Raider - 220pts

1500pts

The idea is the large noise marine unit gets the land raider as their ride, and both it, the CSM in rhino, and vindicator all go 12" up the board at the start - or toward objectives. That leave the 5 man with blastmaster hanging back as fire support, and possible the Oblits as well. I think it's essential to up the Oblit unit to 3 to allow for reliable ranged anti-tank/anti-infantry. They could also deep strike off the personal icon of the noise marine champion if the scenario calls for it.

This list ups my melta gun content, and adds a much needed power fist to the 2nd assault unit. These will prove indispensable against monstrous creature and walkers. Notice I added melta bombs to the other squad, to help with vehicles/walkers in a pinch. Another option would be to drop the deamons and 3rd oblit, and take another CSM squad. I don't have one painted though, so its a tough call. That slot could also be taken by a roughly 8 man raptor squad with Mark of Slaanesh too, so who knows. I think I will try this list to start, because few people remember that deamons are scoring units....and having them arrive turn 3/4, go straight into assault (supported by noise marines) may allow them to be in a position to capture an objective late game.

I also pulled the Termies, as they seem expensive for their return in 1500pts. Only testing will tell.

Stay tuned for pics of my now painted Land Raider, and WIP shots of my deamons and Deamon Prince.

CA$H Out.
