i notice nobody really posts there list for more competative events, i guess thats because nobody wants someone toolin up there list for what they know will be there, but i figure there will be enough people/armies that you still have to bring something for everything so i dont really care lol
ok so heres my list for the ard boyz primer july9th, i have yet to test this so it may see some tweaks, also im at work so i may have some things off but i have a pretty good memory.
HQ Crowe
Coteaz
Elites Vindicare assasin
Eversor assasin
Troops
henchmen squad (coteaz in here) 8x psykers 3x plasma gunners Chimera(ML/HB)
henchmen squad 8x psykers 2x crusaders Chimera(HB/HB)
henchmen squad 8x psykers 2x crusaders Chimera(ML/HF)
8 purifiers -1 MC hammer(not 100% if i put MC on them or the other unit) -2 psycannons -5 halberds Rhino
8 purifiers -1 MC hammer -2 psycannons -5 halberds Rhino
7 terminators -1 MC hammer -2 Swords -4 halberds
Heavy Support
Land raider crusader -multimelta
Rilfe dread
Dreadknight teleporter(not 100% that i kept this) hvy incinerator
empty on psyker defense, low numbers for 2500, decent anti-tank, 1 raider-2rhinos-3chimera-1 dread-1dreadknight,
i figure maybe throw in the eversor as kind of like a bodygaurd to crowe, 5+D6 lightning claw attacks on the charge is not bad at all,obviously they will not be very aggressive in KP games
hopefully the psykers dont kill themselves first turn like in one of my previous games with them, also since i do not really like the models i will be making them outa flagellants

I like the idea of psyker henchmen dropping str10 blasts, but they have some serious flaws.
Leadership 8 means you fail way more tests then librarians. It also means hoods on ldr10 libby's shut you down a whole lot easier. Then, you have scoring units that kill themselves with perils so they're useless against eldar and potentially tyranids. One mindstrike missile from a gk stormraven kills all 8 psykers too...
If you're going to do henchmen as troops, do the assaulty ones with crusaders and assassins (wyches are a cheap substitute) or shooty ones with servitors and monkeys.

i see your points with the psykers, its definitely gunna suck against eldar runes, im not too worried about shadows though i would prefer the MC's to spread out to cover the psykers as far as hoods ill be spread out and i have an extra 12" than there hoods ,ill probly make one into a close combat unit(crusaders/assasins) with a few meltas in a rhino, good idea with the wyches(i hate buying units from blisters, like my wraithguard)
