Hey,

I'm in doubt about which 2 of the next lists is the best. I'm ussually up against quite some meqs but nids, orks, eldar well everything is being played, so I'm looking at the best allcomers list.

List 1:

Hq
Deamon Prince 175
-wings, warptime MoN
Deamon Prince 175
-wings, warptime MoN

Troops
8 Berzerkers 243
-rhino, champ w/ fist
8 Berzerkers 243
-rhino, champ w/ fist
7 Plagues 256
-rhino, champ w/ fist, 2x melta
7 Plagues 246
-rhino, champ w/ fist, 2x flamer

Elite
3x terminator 105
-3x combi melta

Heavy Support
2x Obliterator 150
2x Obliterator 150

List 2:
Hq
Deamon Prince 175
-wings, warptime MoN
Deamon Prince 175
-wings, warptime MoN

Troops
8 Berzerkers 243
-rhino, champ w/ fist
7 Plagues 246
-rhino, champ w/ fist, 2x flamer
7 Plagues 246
-rhino, champ w/ fist, 2x flamer

Elite
3x terminator 105
-3x combi melta
3x terminator 105
-3x combi melta

Heavy Support
2x Obliterator 150
2x Obliterator 150
2x Obliterator 150

I'm personally leaning towards list 1, but I'm not sure. It's a toss up between more troops (list 1) or more long range fire support an extra termicide unit (list 2). I'm ussually quite good at keeping my troops alive, but at 1750 it could prove a bit difficult with only 3 troops. However if list 2 has more killing power it can maybe shot down the threats for my troops earlier. So thats the dilemma I'm having.

comments are of course most welcome!

I definately like list 1 better.
Why no plaz on the PM's ?...better vs meq, better vs MC's.

[Iron_Chaos_Brute]

I'd go for 2, switch 1 WT for rot, switch 2 flamers for meltas.

[the jeske]

less termicide [1 squad only] so LR meta need thats why more melta used+its a points thing .

both list seem to be very simple in you face lists and for those the more killy you get the better , I would go with list two. more oblits and more termicide means its easier for DPs to survive an extra turn [and do more dmg]. list one has more scoring , but scoring isnt the most important thing about "stomp" lists. its the out put of dmg you can dish out in 2 first turns . on top of that runign 2 pm squads mean he has 7 terminator equivalent troop units [+more killy units can over power some units , so most opponent will have to ignore troops for at least one turn]. aslo list 2 will have a better match up against eldar and orks .

[Rumour Control]

I'd do the same as iron chaos brute. List 2 in my opinion. Rot is amazing on hoards.

[Zhukov]

Hmm I think I'll stick to list 2 then.

Most people agree with switching one WT for Rot and then exchange 2 flamers for meltas?

Hmm okay thankgs guys, the second list looks good enough for me. I think I like it more to play w/ too. (oblits and termicide VS. Berzerkers that is.)
