Alright lads and lasses! We are back from the OFCC event and it was a blast. You'll hear about it over the weekend though. I saw the big question of "Well what did you guys take there?" Well I am here to share:

Alright now for how the list functions. The rapiers and the Sicaran are usually deployed behind the aegis from the start so I can get put those long range anti tank guns to work. The chaos lord along with chaos spawn usually charge towards the scariest thing I can find and are a very tough distraction unit. Being T6 they are practically immune to small arms fire. I took the zombies because I needed cheap infantry to just fill out my ranks and using the one's from Imperial Armor: Seige of Vraks makes them pretty cost effective too. I found them only really good offensively against T3 infantry otherwise they just bog units down. For what I was using marine wise, plague marines are my best bet. They are marginally more pricey then Chaos Marines with Mark of Nurgle and get a second special weapon option with only 5 guys. I would have loved meltas but flamer ensures that none of their shots go to waste. Speaking of meltas that is why I took Obliterators and Raptors. I actually deep struck them every single game in a super aggressive manner just to have something to respond to my opponent's deployment and get that scalpel like accuracy to take out key targets. The blight drone is there to be a dangerous threat. Battle cannons in any way shape or form make most people sweat. Overall my list has proven to be very tough against most opponents. The superfriends list is bad news for me along with armies that pack a large amount of S6 shooting. Now that OFCC is said and done I will be actually making improvements to this list. We'll see how it goes.
