April 20th, what are you bringing?

So with the regiments of renown tournament being scrapped in favour of an all-out 2500 point tournament, what are people planning on bringing? With no Blood and Glory scenario I'm thinking we may see some death stars. Here's a rough outline of my dwarf throng:

Dwarf Lord with Shieldbearers
Runesmith
Thane with Battle Standard

24 longbeards
10 thunderers
10 thunderers
24 ironbreakers
28 hammerers
1 cannon
1 grudge thrower
2 organ guns

A decent amount of shooting and a few rock-hard infantry units supported by fighty characters.

Bringing my High Elves I think. Kinda missing the Tomb Kings though....

I'll be bringing Empire to this.

Keeper of Secrets with: Level 4

Herald of Slaanesh with: BSB upgrade
Herald of Slaanesh with: Steed of Slaanesh

28 Bloodletters with: full command
30 Daemonettes with: full command

6 Flesh Hounds
6 Seekers
5 Chaos Furies with: Daemon of Slaanesh

Soulgrinder with: Daemonbane Claw; Daemon of Khorne; Phlegm Bombardment

I will be bringing a sizable and fluffy whaaagg

I'll be bringing a pretty character heavy lizardmen army, with lots and lots of saurus warriors and cav

Ogres, as I am not happy with Lizards and the rest are gone. No death star, no second cannon, and one lord and three hero's. And three cats, just to fill gaps.

I will be bringing lots and lots and lots of rats.... I am assembling another 20 clan rats, because I didn't have enough at Carson's...

My list is figured out I think ....
Orc warboss on boar
Orc bigboss bsb on boar
Orc bigboss on foot
Night goblin big boss on foot
Goblin great shaman on foot
28 orc boyz sheilds
24 orc boyz 2X chopas
20 orc arrer boyz
40 night goblins bows
34 goblins
9 boar boyz
6 river trolls
Giant
Boar chariot

You forgot to write 3 Fanatics.

Nah I didnt forget. I know your just teasing, but does anyone even think fanatics are actually worth the cost ? I have been looking over my list and just cant decide if its okay or if its complete rubbish. Thoughts ? Comments? Changes ?

I personally find them easy to counter, and rarely see them do anything useful when I play against them. Those monster (mangler?) squigs are a different story. I hates those.

Actually, I don't worry too much about Fanatics anymore. Manglers are a different story as mentioned. They always die, but I HAVE to pay attention to them....or else. fanatics were an auto include, but I don't think they're necessary. But as an opponent - of course I would say that.

I ,ve actually decided not to take them anymore when I play orcs. They are 75pts that do nothing except kill my own troops. Personally I think night Goblins are overrated, Last league I always fielded a block of 50+ with nets and command. Even with nets (which are over-priced) they were easy vp's for my opponents. Units have so many attacks now that tarp pits have to be extremely cheap to be viable. The unit I fielded was always about 300 pts+. Way too many points for what they did. Fanatics themselves were much better in previous versions of the book having no armour saves against thier hits. I really think that to make them effective they should move 3d6 on release and then 2d6 after. Most of the time they rarely hit the triggering unit and then rarely do any damage, then more often than not they spin into the plentiful orc units around them (it is a horde army after all).
