Having finally played a game of 1850pts (thanks chris),so I now know my list isn't complete rubbish. I think I'm going to go with a variation of the below. Idea is tyrant flies around trying to get first strike and keep warlord safe. Lots of infiltrating obj sec and generally try and play to objectives whilst tarpitting anything and everything with throwaway gaunts that come back on a 4+
Any thoughts any one? Going to be my first 40k tourney, so zero experience here.
