TSHFT Portland is early next month. I probably won't be able to play because it costs $75, but I will see if I can help people practice.
So today I made a quick list using Farsight Enclaves and Space Wolves. I really like the Wolves as allies both for the punch of the Thunderwolf Cav and the Rune Priest..which is currently totally broken as far as psychic powers go.
So here is the list, which I would probably play if I was going. It's a bit low on the model count and I'm sure would have some bad matchups but it puts out a lot of fire power. Not much to deal with Land Raiders though..
Primary Detachment Codex: Farsight Enclaves
HQ (50): Ethereal
Troop (180): 3x XV8 Crisis Team; 6x Burst cannon, 3x Early warning override, 3x Bonding Knife Ritual, 3x Marker Drone
Troop (180): 3x XV8 Crisis Team; 6x Burst cannon, 3x Early warning override, 3x Bonding Knife Ritual, 3x Marker Drone
Troop (174): 3x XV8 Crisis Team; 6x Missile Pod, 3x Early warning override, 3x Bonding Knife Ritual
Fast (82): 6x Pathfinder; Shas'ui, 6x Bonding Knife Ritual
Heavy (243): 3x XV88 Broadside; 3x Hi-yield Missile Pods, 2x Velocity Tracker, 1x Target lock, 3x Bonding Knife Ritual
Allied Detachment Codex: Space Wolves
HQ (120): Rune Priest; Runic armor,
Jaws of the World Wolf, Living Lightning
HQ (265): Wolf Lord; Thunderwolf Mount, Power Fist, Storm Shield, Saga of the Bear, Wolf Tail Talisman
Troop (155): 10x Grey Hunter; 2x Meltagun
Fast (160): 2x Thunderwolf Calvary; 2x Storm Shield
Heavy (140): 6x Long Fangs; 5x Missile Launcher
1749 Pts
I got in a practice game, where it was Emperor's Will primary and The Scouring secondary, against Chaos Demons with Fateweaver, a couple Demon Princes and the Pink Star. We tied on primary and I easily won secondary with 3 objectives, and all 3 bonus points. In the TSHFT that would have probably been a 13-7 win for my side. It was a pretty good game, including: having the warpstorm table turn my rune priest into a harold, Broadsides opening on a flying prince at BS7 and eliminating 26 of 28 demonettes in a single turn (6 burst cannon suits are INSANE btw).
so that's it, comment if you wish. I like the list but I think it could use some tuning..
