Got a tournament coming up in 2 weeks and trying to figure out which list to run. The missions have not been revealed yet and I have no idea what armies are going to be present. Here are my two lists.

LIST 1

2x Devourers, Armoured Shell

3 Tyrant Guard
Lash Whips

ELITE
3 Hive Guard
3 Hive Guard

I am automatically more incline to go with list 2, because mech spam doesn't really exist anymore, an any that does will be trashed just as often as before by hive guard. In 5th I ran 3 units of 2 at 1250 and they worked fantastically. In 6th I can imagine the loss of their need. That should be plenty.

Then you have 4 troops, only one of which isn't reliably going to hold anything (oddly, that's the 20 devils if they don't land in synapse)

You should have no issues getting line breaker and first blood. And so long as you have those, you won't have to worry about ties.

I think list 2 is better overall, because it's faster, and doesn't waist points as much (pseudo deathstar tyrant is cute, but not a threat... Especially at 1250)
