Hey people :)

So, I need help writing a list for a tornement in early november (Noveber 1st to be exact)
I want the list to do well but I also want it to be fun to build and paint, basically I want it to be good but still say "we're the Emperors Children, try us!"

this is what I have came up with so far...

Master of the Forge
Conversion beamer
110

10 Man Tactical squad
Sargent, Bolt pistol, CC weapon, Melta bombs
Heavy bolter, Flamer
175

10 Man Tactical squad
Sargent, Bolt pistol, CC weapon, Melta bombs
Heavy bolter, Flamer
175

10 Man Tactical squad
Sargent, Bolt pistol, CC weapon, Melta bombs
Missile launcher, Melta gun
175

5 Scouts
Sniper rifles
75

5 scouts
Sniper rifles
75

Thunderfire Cannon
100

Thunderfire Cannon
100

TOTAL = 985

thats what I got so far, but there are a few issiues effecting me...

1. it still seems very vunreble for some reason

2. it is a very static list

3. it doesnt seem very EC, more like Iorn Hands or Iorn Worriors <_<

4. NO CHAPLIN!!!!! :(
I know that sems like a silly issue to drag on, but I love the idea of chaplins, and even though they dont seem as good in some ways as they were in the old book, I still love em and think its a real lost to the list, eventhough rest asure, I will be having one in my 1500!!! ;) :D

and finally

5. 15 pnts to play with and I dont know what to use them on <_<

Other than that I dont know what to do, it seems like a pretty solid list, but I dont like doing lists for the sake of doing well, it just so happens that I think this will do well and I will have fun building and painting stuff :)

So, do you think that this list is pretty solid, or do you think it will flop like jelly? Please renember this is a tornement list so please be honest, I want to do well, last year I came dead last with tomb kings in WFB!!

So I do urge that C&C are not only welcome, but also encurraged ;)

One suggestion id add is to simply swap the master of forge for a captain would fit better with emperors children not that they shouldnt use them just i dont see them leading emporers children by themselves much. More the sort of thing you would see in the iron hands, salamanders or iron warriors. I think its quite a balanced force as far as using it in a game would be.

I agree with the guy above, but you should also add some heavy hitters or transports. If you're going to be playing against a highly mobile force, such as the Eldar, they're going to be zooming around you, and attacking you from the flanks and rear. Otherwise, I think it's pretty good. You may want to some more AT power, though.

came up with a new list, but im unsure to it....

Chaplin

10 marines

That looks better, but you'll want to put your Drop Pods in clear lines of fire to fully use their Anti-Tank power. Otherwise, looks good! :)
