1500pt Singles Tourney List

[DukeMantis]

Im taking part in my first 40K singles tourney for many years at the end of Feb in Barrie Ontario. The tourney is Forge World friendly and there is already talk from the imperium camps of some crazy tanks and flyers - either way i need to not (please do not swear) my pants and put together a decent enough 1500 to get through my four games. Ive had a few playtests recently and below is what im thinking of trying. Its not very exciting and im not trying to re-invent the wheel, id like to put out a good all round list that can compete!

Any thoughts or perspectives as always are very welcome

Biomancy across the board. Double Trygon, Doom and Ymgarls coming in turn 2 hopefully, and the option of keeping a Tervigon in reserve for Outflank (not likely tbh).

Ive seen some players like to keep the dakka Flyrant in reserves, that might be an idea against especially shooty enemies.

Thanks for reading

Looks pretty solid so long as you can keep your flyrant out of harms way until your turn two, though I wouldn't keep him in reserves. Really don't have much of anything to add.

If you start with the flyrant on the board you can reserve doom, the ymgarls, both trygons, and outflank a tervigon.

Looks like a solid list. Probably have a hard time with dark eldar but clean up against almost anything else.

I assume the brain-agon is going to camp on a backfield objective spawning gants and providing synapse.

Against grey knights be careful to keep your trygons covered with shadow in the warp so they don't get easily ID'd with force weapons.

Otherwise, good luck and have fun.

Thanks alot for the feedback guys

infornography - Yes the Brainigon is going to sit back in scenario games, thanks for the tip about grey knights!

FTGTEvan - Ill keep the hive tyrant hidden in turn 1 as best as i can!

Played blood angels today with this list, tabled them on turn 4, maximum points.

It was big guns never tire, they had triple baal preds, triple vindicator, death company, a CC dreadnought and mephiston. Totally cleaned up and spawned without breaking myself all game! The list plays very nicely. I think ill be keeping this one for the tournament

It's definitely a solid list. I'd recommend deepstriking the Trygons. You don't get to assault, but they won't worry about scatter, and it'll mean when they turn up with your Ymgarls turn 2 you provide a lot of targets for the enemy. The Flyrant will be there along with the Doom as well, so it makes it very hard for your opponents to prioritise targets.

Thanks for the input Jestar, i do deepstrike my snake babies

Mephiston actually killed himself with perils due to Shadow in the Warp!
