    Default Two Farrow 50pts lists for tournament.

    I'm planning to go to a pretty large tournament in the middle of May. I myself is one of the TO's for the 35 points 1 day event but I am planning on playing in the two-day 50 points tournament. The rules are standard SR2012 with the exception that everything have to painted and based and that there will be 6 rounds of gaming before a winner is decided. Unfortunately I will not be able to get a Road Hog since it won't be released yet. These are my first drafts, please leave comments if you wish. I will also list what I have painted so it will be available to me to switch in. Models I don't own is marked with red.

    List 1: Carver's Beast-O-Rama (Thornfall Alliance)
    Lord Carver +6
    War Hog 8
    War Hog 8
    War Hog 8
    Gun Boar 5
    Max brigands 8
    Razorback 3
    Slaughterhousers 6
    Slaughterhousers 6
    Alten Ashley 2
    Saxon Orrick 2

    Reinforcements:
    Gun Boar 5
    Gun Boar 5
    This will probably be my main list, and almost always my first choice vs Warmachine.

    List 2: Sturm & Drang Pigfest (Tier 3)
    Sturm & Drang +5
    War Hog 8
    War Hog 8
    War Hog 8
    Gun Boar 5
    Targ 2
    Min Bonegrinders 2
    Min Bonegrinders 2
    Max Brigands 8
    Slaughterhousers 6
    Slaughterhousers 6

    Reinforcements:
    Gun Boar 5
    Gun Boar 5

    Models not used in lists: Viktor Pendrake, Gudrun the Wanderer, 2 Bone Grinders.

    I have been thinking about this list instead as list number 2:
    Sturm & Drang +5
    War Hog 8
    War Hog 8
    War Hog 8
    Gun Boar 5
    Targ 2
    Min Bonegrinders 2
    Min Bonegrinders 2
    Slaughterhousers 6
    Slaughterhousers 6
    Slaughterhousers 6
    Viktor Pendrake

    Reinforcements:
    Gun Boar 5
    Gun Boar 5

    List number two, no matter which I use would probably be my first choice vs Hordes, and mainly vs Legion which I am always having problems with playing my Farrow. I am aware that I lack in things that can deal with high def infantry but that is the fate of playing Farrow. In my first list I have a razorback and a Gun Boar for this, and Quagmire I guess. Any comments?

    I like the look of all the lists. My only suggestion would be to swap the Razorback for Gudrun. I'm just not a fan of the Razorback, and Gudrun is awesome.

    If you go with Sturm and Drang list 2, I'd suggest swapping the Gun Boars for Max Brigands and a 2pt solo (not sure which one, as you seem to have them all accounted for. Maybe swap Alten Ashley from the Carver list with Bonegrinders and put him in the reinforcements.

    I have actually tried my Sturm and Drang list today vs a beast heavy pVayl list. This was the list I brought finally:

    Tier 3 Split Decision
    Sturm & Drang +6
    Gun Boar 5
    War Hog 8
    War Hog 8
    War Hog 8
    Targ 2
    Slaughterhousers 6
    Slaughterhousers 6
    Max Bonegrinders 3
    Rorsh & Brine 9

    We didn't use any reinforcements.

    Things I learned:
    1. Don't forget to pop your feat. That was the only reason I lost.
    2. My bunch of beasts and S&D need some kind of infantry running in front of them while going in. The Bonegrinders will just have to be enough for this my next game.
    3. Vision was nice on Rorsch, especially paired of with Deflection. Really improved his survivability.
    4. Telekinesis is a great counter to Rampager.
    5. Telekinesis is also a great spell to use on a damaged Brine. It really improves his already nice ability to find good angles for that slam.
    6. again, don't forget to feat.

    Edit: And most importantly. Know your spells. I forgot about Watcher and should have been able to walk up with a War Hog and hit that Scythean that killed me with his crit KO tusks for a fully boosted attack. I need to learn how to play.
