Rockheads 1000 Point Tournament - June 27th, 2009

On Saturday, June 27, Rockheads in Kenosha, Wisconsin will be hosting a 1000 point 40k tournament. If this was any other year, I would not be able to attend since it is my wedding anniversary. This year however, my wife needs to attend a baby shower for her cousin’s daughter and she is planning on taking our peanut with her, so I am looking at an afternoon of fun and nerd excitement.

The rules for the tournament are very basic; 1000 points using the standard force structure. Painting is not required, but models must be WYSIWYG. I didn’t ask about missions, but I would suspect that they are of the standard type with little variations.

Since painting is not a requirement, I am basically looking at all of my available armies and trying to decide what I want to play. I suspect that the majority of armies will be marines since they seem to be pretty common with the local player base, so I am thinking I want to come with something less common.

I am thinking that the following would be the most interesting armies to bring, since I feel comfortable in believing noone else will be fielding them:

Daemonhunters w/ Witchhunter allies
Necrons
Chaos Daemons

All three would be fun for me to play, so I guess it is a matter of which army do I feel would be the most interesting for my opponent to oppose. The necrons would be very assaulty, with a strong possibility of a C’tan. The DH/WH combo would be a mix of medium range firepower and assault units. The chaos daemons would also be of the assault variety with a splash of Tzeentch firepower.

So as readers of my blog, which of the following armies would you find most interesting to play against? I’ll open a poll, but I would love to read comments and suggestions. Assuming that I can attend, I will likely go with the army chosen by my readers.

If anyone is interested in playing in the tournament, call Rockheads and ask for Allen.
