Hey all, so I have been list building using the models I own for a local Arks of Omen RTT this weekend and I wanted to gather some opinions about which list looks more competitive?

Legion: Word Bearers

List 1:

HQ

Daemon Prince (wings, Tzeentch mark) 180pts

Master of Posession 105 pts

Dark Apostle (slannesh mark, 3dam auto-wound weapon, 2 prayers, CP regen) 115 pts

TROOPS

Cultists mob 50 pts

5x legionaries (slannesh mark Balefire tome, heavy chainaxe, reaper chaincannon, daemon blade, plasma pistol) 90 pts

ELITES

10x Chaos Terminators (slaanesh mark, 4x combi meltas) 400 pts

Helbrute (Tzeentch mark, heavy flamer, multi melta) 125 pts

5x Rubric marines (Tzeentch mark, warpflamers) 132 pts

HEAVY

Obliterator 90 pts

Obliterator 90 pts

Obliterator 90 pts

PATROL HQ

Bloodthirster (double wounds for bracketing, 1dam no atk/wound modifiers) 345 pts

TROOPS

Or

List 2:

HQ

Sorcerer (Tzeentch mark) 110 pts

Master of Posession 105 pts

Dark Apostle (slannesh mark, 3dam auto-wound weapon, 2 prayers, CP regen) 115 pts

TROOPS

Cultists mob 50 pts

5x legionaries (slannesh mark Balefire tome, heavy chainaxe, reaper chaincannon, daemon blade, plasma pistol) 90 pts

ELITES

10x Chaos Terminators (slaanesh mark, 4x combi meltas) 400 pts

Helbrute (Tzeentch mark, heavy flamer, multi melta) 125 pts

9x Chosen (Tzeentch mark, power fist, plasma pistol)

HEAVY

Obliterator 90 pts

Obliterator 90 pts

TRANSPORT

Chaos Rhino 80 pts

PATROL HQ

Bloodthirster (double wounds for bracketing, 1dam no atk/wound modifiers) 345 pts

TROOPS

Bloodletters 130 pts

TLDR: Basically the difference is:

1 obliterator

Daemon prince

5 rubric marines

Swapped for

9 chosen

Rhino

Sorcerer

Generally, everything other than characters, troops, and terminators go into strategic reserves. The single obliterators are for scoring behind enemy lines points. 2 character casters for psychic secondaries. Chosen would go in rhino.

Some key stratagems to consider are: “shoot back” for helbrutes

Malevolent covenant where when a psychic power is failed you can spend 1/2cp to have it pass undeniable

Tzeentch perform a psychic action and cast a power

Thanks for any and all feedback!
