Disclosure; I'm not tournament player. I think you got a good idea of the strengths of both lists. My guess, based on what you think you'll see? The Stardrake list feels better, imo. DoK and Skaven have tons of really big, really strong units, and I'm not sure the Anvilstrike list can really deal with them. Fighting Nagash and the like, Anvilstrike sounds much better? But huge killy hordes just sound so hard to deal with imo. Plus like, the Stardrake really does look cool.

Yeah that's what I thought as well, anvil struggles against hordes. But I don't really know the new skaven. Don't they play with multiple big and important units (bell, thanqoul, vermin king and lords)? 

Stardrake with halo excels against horde tho, so I guess it's the way to go. 

Is it right that in a tournament setting its more important to claim and hold the objectives rather than trying to table the enemy?

Hey guys, I going to play a 1500pts tournament this weekend and I am still unsure which list to take. Meta will most likely be DoK,  skaven and maybe mixed order. 

The first list is a anvil list, which has alot of killing power but suffers object wise and is pretty fragile. 

The second one is a stardrake list with the game plan of taking one objective with the most of hero roster while blocking one objective with the comet. The rest of the army will be contesting whatever is left. While being tanky it suffers mostly from the low damage output.

Would like to hear what's the better list to bring, maybe you can help me figure this out!

(I'm also not very experienced in playing tournaments, so I don't know which army traits are better suited for that environment)

I wouldn't. They are good, but not 140 points good. I would grudginly return to the boring, unimpressive but cheap Liberators.

I see our battlelines as cheap filler and not our workhorses, so that also bias my opinion. Spending so many points on batteline instead of elite units feels wrong to me.

You don't need elite units with a 20 block of sequitors. I proxied them for a match against khorne and they obliterated everything they touched. His bloodthirster died to the 9 grand weapons alone. They really are bonkers with all the possible rerolls. 

 

On a other note the evocators are the same. So many mortal wounds on top of the already good weapon damage. 

 

For me, those two units completely replace the old libs and paladins. Which sucks because I have to reinvest and completely lay down the old models. 

 

The Arcanum general tax is not that bad since the Arcanum itself provides lots of support options.
