Possible Tournament Prep

This upcoming Saturday (4/14) I plan on attending an 1850pt. tournament at FTW Games.   I of course plan on running Deathwing and even though it ultimately means I'm bring a knife to a gun fight, it will most certainly be hella fun.  I have been reading up on the current Deathwing tactica on Warseer  and the vets on there have pretty much said that foot slogging TH/SS termies with CMLs, backed by speeders and preds are the way to go.  Foot slogging has never really done it for me.  I have always preferred a somewhat fast and mobile army as well as having a low model count army.  These lists favor my A.D.D. and keep me from getting bored easily.  

The list I will be taking Saturday is a mix of the above suggested list and my favorite Tri-Land Raider list.   Normally I run units consisting of:

3x Dual Claws
1x Assault Cannon/Chainfist
1x TH/SS

I have had good luck in combat before with the above outfitting, however this time, my units will be loaded up with TH/SS.   I recently played a game against a friend who was running a genestealer list and I felt the 3++ from the Storm Shields would have benefited me greatly.

Saturday I will be running:

Belial - Dual Lightning Claws


Belial's Unit
3x TH/SS
1x TH/SS, Banner
1x TH/SS, CML



4x TH/SS
1x TH/SS, CML


4x TH/SS
1x Heavy Flamer, Chainfist


1x Land Raider Crusader - Extra Armor
2x Land Raider - Extra Armor


2x Speeder - MM, AC


1845pts.

The odd man out is due to the 1850 limit that most tournaments I've seen follow.  Making him a TH/SS with CML puts me at 5 points over and I feel happy with him as he is.  I could drop an Assault Cannon off of a speeder and make him a TH/SS, CML but I don't feel comfortable loosing the AC.  Hopefully I can get in a practice game or two before saturday and decide which way to go then.
