So after recovering from being rather sick today, I decided to go to a 1k point tournament today at a FLGS. Normally I don't play games at such a low point level as it seems to favour armies which have scaling issues, however, I rather enjoyed this tournament.
The games were on 4x4 boards with terrain which was as close to being a mirror image as possible which was good. My only gripe with this setup is that a 4x4 board tends to favour close combat armies or armies which are meched up in melta guns. Knowing this ahead of time I was going to make a list using Codex: Blood Angels but couldn't come up with anything which I believed was survivable enough or had a high enough model count so I ended up going with my old standby of chimera spam. Instead of running Imperial Guard however, I decided to take Coteaz and his crew to see how they fared.
My list was as follows:
Coteaz
Vindicare Assassin
4 Henchman squads with 8 acolytes (5 stormbolters 3 meltaguns) in chimeras with hull heavy flamers
2 Psy-rifleman dreadnaughts
