With 10 tournaments points I ended third out of twelve which is a nice result given the test I could make of the list (as low as three test match). I got tabled by JCB, facing the worst combo ever: a great opponent and 3 crits in the first 4 AROs. Matches against both RTF went as expected and the list performed well. I ended up using a single list, the one which I fell more comfortable with. Here's the other one, just a variation on the same theme:
