So there you have it, my 2k list in all of it's glory...Will I be able to take the GT with it? What will be the lists to beat? I think the following are definitely top contenders for being touch match-ups:
-Some form of Necrons with 2 Destroyer Lords leading 3 Wraiths with 3 Annihilation Barges and 4+ Night Scythes.
-Mechdar, I know a friend who is thinking of bringing at least 5 Serpents and 4-5 Warp Hunters, that will be a pain for sure.
-Tau...Lots of shooting =(.
-Eldar+Tau/DE have some nasty combos and builds that can really bring the pain.
-Tyranids with 4 Flyrants and a bunch of MCs in tow, virtually a guaranteed 2nd turn charge and probably not possible to shoot all the Flyrants down fast enough.
-Demons with a Screamer Star (2++ rerolling unit of doom) with FMC support.
-IG, their Vendettas and crazy firepower are very scary, especially when you throw in any FW goodies.
These are probably the top contenders
