Army in Planning For Next Tournament

Due to some schedual conflicts it doesn't look like I'll be playing in another tournament for a while.

MOAB is a little hard to get to and clashes with the Rugby League (football) grand final.

The next few are

Gosford Shield - January - 1250 points - a good, fun local tournament.
CanCon - also January - I always hear great things, I may try to make the trip next year.
Battle in the Vines - Easter weekend - My favorite so far. 2000 points, 2 days, 5 rounds.

BiV is the biggest and takes alot of prep. Last year I ran

Librarian
60 Tactical Marines
3 Rhinos
20 Devestators
1 Whirlwind

This year I started thinking about a theme army. I decided to run a battle company
Captain +60 Tac Marines + 20 Assault Marines + 20 Devestator Marines = 1840 points.

Great!

Here is the list as it stands, Will more than likely change

HQ
Captain - Boltgun, Bolt Pistol - Upgrades aren't going to change anything and I'm short on points. He is there for theme only, A librarian would be much better.

Troops
Tactical Squad - Sgt w Bolt pistol & Chainsword, Flamer, Plasma Cannon - Infantry Killer
Tactical Squad - Sgt w Bolt pistol & Chainsword, Flamer, Plasma Cannon - Infantry Killer
Tactical Squad - Sgt w Bolt pistol & Chainsword, Flamer, Multi Melta - Defensive mix
Tactical Squad - Sgt w Bolt pistol & Chainsword, Melta Gun, Multi Melta - Tank popper
Tactical Squad - Sgt w Bolt pistol & Chainsword, Melta Gun, Multi Melta - Tank popper
Tactical Squad - Sgt w Bolt pistol & Chainsword, Plasma Gun, Heavy Bolter - Infantry Shooter

Fast Attack
Assault Squad - 10 Man, Melta bombs - Against better judgement, 20 assault marines for fluff only
Assault Squad - 10 Man, Melta bombs

Heavy Support
Devestator Squad - 10 man, 4 Missile Launchers - Basic do everything work horse
Devestator Squad - 10 man, 4 Missile Launchers - Basic do everything work horse

For those playing at home

101 Infantry
101 Krak Grenades
101 Bolt Pistols
55 Bolt Guns
20 Chain Swords
8 Missile Launchers
3 Flamers
3 Multi Meltas
2 Melta Guns
2 Plasma Cannons
2 Melta Bombs
1 Plasma Gun

Maybe slightly insane but at least I may get a good comp score.
