1500 point tournament return

[gamma016]

Hello all, it’s been quite some time since I’ve played and longer since I’ve posted but I’m looking to get back into the swing of things with 8th ed starting off with a 1500 point tournament at a local store.

Astra Militarum Batallion Detachment:

Catachan

HQ:

Company Commander - Kurov’s Aquila

Company Commander

Troops:

Infantry Squad - Sniper Rifle, Mortar

Infantry Squad - Sniper Rifle, Mortar

Infantry Squad - Sniper Rifle, Mortar

Infantry Squad - Sniper Rifle, Mortar

Astra Militarum Spearhead Detachment:

Catachan

HQ:

Yarrick

Heavy Support:

Manticore - Heavy Bolter

Manticore - Heavy Bolter

Wyvern - Heavy Bolter

Wyvern - Heavy Bolter

Space Wolves Outrider Detachment:

HQ:

Wolf Guard Battle Leader on Thunderwolf - Power Fist, Storm Shield

Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf - Power Fist, Storm Shield

Fast Attack:

Fenresian Wolves - 15 x Wolves

Fenresian Wolves - 15 x Wolves

Thunderwolf Cavalry - 3 x Power Fists, 3x Storm Shields

So the idea behind this list is that the artillary and infantry squads will all bubble around Yarrick to gain his Reroll 1’s to hit. Company Commanders will order Infantry Squads to either Bring it Down or Burn them Out for Reroll 1’s to wound or ignore cover respectably. The Wolves will press forward to act as a buffer, clean up kills from the artillary, and capture objectives. Late game the infantry squads can also go for objectives with the Move!Move!Move! order. The list is sitting at 1495 right now. Any comments and criticisms are welcome.

that list ought to do fine: guard is solid under the current rules, and although I haven't played vs SW this edition I imagine thunderwolves are still a though unit for the enemy to crack.
