Rapid Fire list, Locked and Loaded

OK, next tournament is Rapid Fire weekend of 2nd and 3rd December.

This is one of the longest running 40k tournaments in Scotland and this will be about the 10th year I’ve been to it. It’s usually a great event.

Competition on the top tables is usually pretty fierce, with a bunch of Team Scotland’s ETC wannabes attending to gain qualification points for the team. From the player list there will be half a dozen or so former Team Scotland players attending. However, mid tables are usually pretty laid back, with lots of fun games.



And I’ve decided on my list. With lots of feedback from the Harlequins 40k Facebook page (thanks guys), I’ve gone with 6 Troupe’s in Starweavers, with 3 Venoms full of Kabalite Warriors, and a Doomseer. Here’s the list.

The questions I need to answer before the Games Workshop GT heat the following weekend are

• Will I miss the Solitaire
• Will I miss the Skyweavers 
• Will I miss the Shadowseer
• Will the Kabalites and their Venoms give me the torrent of fire and screen I’m looking for

And of course there’s Chapter Approved to look forward to next weekend, which might make me want to change my list completely. 

I do like the look of the stratgem previewed on Warhammer Community. A 3++ on a bunch of Skyweavers would make them a huge distraction unit.

I’ll report back after the tour I.
