Musings from the Warp: The LVO and me

Sup guys.. Well the time has come for the LVO once again. The LVO last year was my first major tournament and I had a blast. Not only did it run smoothly but the timing of the events was almost perfect. The fact that most of my games started at noon meant that I could party the night before and get some time to sleep in. It also helped that I stayed in the same hotel that the event was run at so I didnt have to huff it to the event from a different hotel carrying my army with me. For this year I decided that I wanted to do something different. I wanted to go ahead and try my hand at playing the team tourney but alas I received confirmation from Reece himself that there wasn't going to be one this time around which is a bummer. In keeping with me wanting to do something different, I decided to sign up for the 40k friendly event. The 40k friendly is a 2000 point relaxed environment tourney where they are allowing unlimited CADS and unbound armies to allow players to build great themed armies. Of course all lists need to be vetted ahead of time to keep the armies somewhat balanced and fun for all. The format sounds pretty interesting if you ask me and plays to the fluff bunny in me that loves creating themed lists. For this I am thinking of bringing the full might of the dark mechanicum complete with 2 Magos (chaos sorcerers), a warpsmith to do on site repairs, and as many daemon engines as possible. Since the list format could be unbound, I am thinking of taking one of the hell brute formations as well. I am still trying to finalize the list but below is something of an idea that I am thinking about.
