AB40k Maintainers

Well this may be premature a bit since I have only had a couple of games in with the list but so far I am diggin' the Lost and the Damned. Basic list breakdown

Bloodthirster
10 Berzerkers (champ is vessel, furious charge, frags)
15 Traitors (tzeentch champ with BoC, pfist, hbolter, grenade launcher)
15 Traitors (same)
7 Chaos Marines (ML and Plasma)
7 Chaos Marines (same)
4 Bikes (champ with pweapon, 2 plasma guns, skilled riders)
1 Hellhound
1 Basilisk
1 Leman Russ

Approx 1700pts

Went up against Nids and Orks last night. Nids had 5 Monstrous creatures in a 1700pt list, Orks with mostly footsloggers and a few vehicles including a looted Land Raider. Game against the nid was alpha cleanse with me winning the game by holding 3 quarters and no single scoring bug left on the table. All that was remaining of the bugs was a Tyrant in cc (half strength) and a Carnifex with a single wound remaining. My army had a Hellhound, 2 bikes, 7 Marines left to score with.

Orks were nearly wiped out to a model by turn 5. All they had left was the Land Raider with 1 gun left and 3 Shoota Boyz stuck in a building. I had 4 bikes, Thirster, 2 full Traitor squads, and the Basilisk left.

All in all, I love the feel of the army, far more than a basic chaos list in fact. I haven't pulled out the Chaos Marines in ages simply from a lack of fun when I use them. Tau has been my mainstay since last December without a doubt but I think my time will be evenly split between them and LatD now. Very impressed with the way it played, very much in my playstyle. I like to have a solid firebase supported by mobile units (be they shooty or assault) and both Tau and this LatD list fit the bill.

I will give further impressions as I use the army as well.

LatD, the way imperial armies should be,, Guard supported by specialists in the shape of Marines...

Sounds like you had a fun evening:)

Heh, found out after a couple of games that this list was illegal due to not enough Traitor units for the vehicles that I had. So, here is how it looks now:

Bloodthirster
10 Berzerkers (champ is vessel, furious charge, frags)
10 Bloodletters
15 Traitors (champ with pfist, hbolter, sniper rifle)
15 Traitors (same)
9 Chaos Marines (LC and Plasma)
4 Bikes (champ with pweapon, 2 plasma guns, skilled riders)
1 Basilisk
1 Leman Russ

Approx 1700pts

Friday night saw me facing off with this list against our local GT winner using his tournament Iron Warrior list (which I had not beaten to date). Scenario was Gamma Cleanse with me having first turn. The game went back and forth in a big way with him being the clear favourite to win in turn 3. However, in turn 4 I was able to make some moves that saved my ass and ended up winning the game for me. In the end, he was left with 1 squad of 9 marines (who had just been charged by the thirster when he called it) and a single obliterator out of the entire army. I still had my Thirster, a scoring Leman Russ, the Basilisk, the Marine squad, and 1 scoring unit of Traitors on the table allowing me to hold the two smaller point quarters while he had none.

Wasn't until a few seconds after he called it that I realized I beat him with the evil list of IW doom though. Once it sunk in, I was rather pleased with this list as you can imagine . Damn good game though, very hard fought for both of us.

So you finally beat that list, great for you:)
Congratulations
the list looks good to:)
