So this past weekend I used this list at a 2k Colonial GT qualifier and it served me fairly well, however I dont see it being able to beat the current Daemon Meta. I also see this list having a tough time against anything that can block my ability to move(i experienced this in my final game at the top table vs a Daemon Chariot(9 of those big bases is a pain!)/Screamer/Flamer spam.
Any suggestions on changes? I think I may try out some combi-flamers on all the superiors and possibly ally in marines for null zone and a scout squad or something i can use to get an outflanking or quick linebreaker point.
(i have exluded points because i dont have my list on hand so a few things may be a little off)
HQ
St. Celestine
Troops
3x Battle Sisters(10) in Rhino w/ dozer & light(on 2 rhinos). 2 meltas and melta bombs on superior
Battle Sisters(10) in Rhino w/ dozer. 2 flamers and melta bomb on superior
Battle Sisters(10) w/ 2 flamers and melta bomb superior
Fast Attack
2x Seraphim squad (8) with 2 flamer pistols and superior with melta bomb and power sword
Dominion Squad(5) with 2 meltas and superior with bombs. Immolator w/ multi-melta
Heavy Support
2x Piano Tanks
1xRet Squad(5) with 4 Heavy Bolters
Aegis D Line w/ quadgun.
The list worked out well in the tournament for the most part. I was able to get max points game one vs. black templar. Game 2 was closer as it was against a Daemon player but his list was not the Meta Screamer/flamer spam list. It was a great game that saw me winning in the end. Game 3 was at the top table vs. a very competitive player using 9 chariots, 18 screamers and 18 flamers(those numbers might be a bit off) and then 2 small horror squads along side 3 plaguebearer squads.
I feel like the list was at its strongest with the open board as I can control fairly well with the mobility it offers. I find that my rhinos rarely die turn 1 which allows me to get into good position. The seraphim normally do their job and get their points back or at least take all the fire and get their points that way.
Celestine is worth her points and more so I cant complain there.
I just have very little counter to fast assault units like screamers and wraiths. With wraiths at least I have a TON of metla and st8 shots i can unload + all the bolter shots. I think the two hardests list for this build right now would be wraithwing with three barges and the obvious daemon lists.
What do you guys think? Am I missing something obvious to help deal with those types of lists? What would you do to lower this to the 1850 point level?
