Interesting. In the current or previous IG codex, is/was there a section called "vehicle Inventory"? I'm assuming that the rules were written as an addendum to the codex and it refers to something there. Unless there is a page missing...

They are in the physical WD that has the article.
If I remember correctly, its most Leman Russ varients, Autocannon one, plasmacannon one, Long barrelled AT one, regular, demolisher, and I think the laser destroyer. The griffon, and salamander scout is also in there as well.
Just gotta remember tanks can't claim objectives per the new rule, so to get objectives you need to take daemon or witch hunter allies.

You can play for annihilation, but you still won't win an objective mission because you have nothing to claim, the only thing you can win is a Kill point mission.
You can still build a tough list you just need allies and protect them at all cost. I was figuring best way was 2x 10xSister squads with 2x meltaguns in rhino's and the rest in battle tanks and hellhounds would be the best.

In 5th, it states
Even if its an objective mission, if you wipe out the opponent you win.

Yeah, it's true, but it's true for any list...it's on page such and such in the 5th rulebook...I can't remember. I know I remember seeing it when I was wondering if tanks taken as troops counted as scoring units...which they don't...*sigh* Oh well, I was thinking a heavy tank list with Grey Knight allies for troops...very resilient, and great in cc and decent at range. I read that bols thread, too, and it had an interesting list in it. It comprised of 7 leman russ and x2 allied land raiders with allied troops inside (for the scoring units). From what he said, I think he though that he could easily take out nidzilla with that list. Frankly, I think he severely under-estimated the survivability of tyranid fexes...dropping pie plates just isn't going to be enough. |

I just noticed them, but just in case no one else has the Ard Boyz missions are posted on GW's site. There are 2 modified Kill Point missions. HQ's 3pts, T 1pt, Everything else 2pts, dedicated transports worth nothing. I have had to modify my list a little bit becuase of this  |

Yea, the new kill point system for this tourny is fairly well rounded but will affect different builds differently, for instance i wouldnt play a list full of small elite and heavy squads where players could rack up kill points faster than paris hilton can rack up std's and combat squading anything but troops would be risky. So my fallen squad would be worth 5 v.ps (elite with hq) which is rough but more fair than some d.bag with 4 big ass squads sittin back and getting more kill points then you can possibly get just by cappin your rhinos. I wont modify my list tho, i just want to bring some balls nasty ass kickers and see how much i can kill before the dice stop co-operating.

You could toss the 4 of them in a 5 man squad in a land raider and dont let em out till that armor 14 pinata of love and understanding pops and releases the hounds of war on what poor poor bastards happen to be in the vicinity. Or you can be like me and get real subtle and inventive: TWO land raiders. What were ya gonna do with those heavy choices any ways? long fangs?
