u/Fit-Replacement-5209

So I recently did my first tournament, which happened to be a GT, and went 2-3 which I was quite surprised & happy about!

I took two defilers (pre MFM) and probably shouldn’t have, for recon anyway.

Although I thought I bought plenty of MSU, I found I needed a couple more fast or deep striking units to reach table quarters, and perform actions, in order to clutch most of the matches I lost.

I’ll put my list here for any feedback and would be interested to hear your CSM Recon lists too.

I just put up a YT video on my tournament army list as well as this updated one if you want to check it out rather than just reading my list (the.rogue.painter).
