Man, that's a lot of marines and armour! I built a pretty tough list but I'm still feeling apprehensive.

Shall we start taking bids?

I don't know how August can win without the Vulcan Lysander combo

Chimera gets my vote. I believe in his solid tactics and keen eye, as well as being able to show everyone that 'Nids are a competitive army!
Armies
Tau Empire, Sa'Cea Specialized Warfare Expeditionary Fleet I'm gonna have to count this again
Imperial Guard, The Brotherhood of Nod 2,500 pts
Chaos Space Marines, (Alpha Legion) The Hydrafire Enclave 2,000 pts

Awww, thanks. *sniff*. :)

I suppose I should add that we're going to play 5 objectives (evenly spaced), pitched, 6 turns. Seeing as he'll be able to combat squad everything to have six stationary scoring units putting out heavy weapon fire and six highly mobile units putting out rapid-fire anti-infantry (or anti-MC with all that plasma) fire I don't feel quite so optimistic. And that's just the tactical squads! The one advantage I have is that we'll only be playing on a 6x4 ft. table so he only has so much room to stay away. Still, every time I compare our lists all I see is heavy weapon/plasma and flamer/rapid-fire deaths. But maybe all he sees is blown up rhinos and eviscerated combat squads.

I have to agree.

I dunno but the power weapons seems kind of redundant I mean Nid's will 95% of the time attack in CC 1st so knowing that I would go a powerfist and strike with double base strength instead.

I know a power weapon is 15 Pts while a powerfist is 25 Pts so you probably have around 50ish points to free up so it might not be worth the trouble but that is my 2 cents.
