1k tournament coming up at the FLGS.. General mix of everything so tried to get as well rounded as possible. While sticking to the theme of my army and what I like to use.

Tips and advice welcome!


==========================================================================

HQ

Company Command Squad w/ Lascannon = 70

Troops

Infantry platoon X2

- Platoon Command squad w/ lascannon = 50

- Infantry squad w/ Power Weapon, Commissar, Power Weapon, Meltagun = 115

- Infantry squad w/ Power Weapon, Meltagun = 70

Total = 235 (470)


Heavy Support

Leman Russ Battle Tank w/ lascannon = 165

Leman Russ Battle Tank w/ lascannon = 165

Basilisk = 125

Grant total = 995

==========================================================================

I like the Basilisk at 1000 points.

The LRBTs might be better off without the LCs.

Maybe go with 4x special weapons on the PCSs instead, but the PC's order selection is fairly limited.

I think you should do well in DoW and Spearhead deployments, in general, but you will might struggle with the seize ground mission.

I put the LCs on the LRBT to make them more well rounded. Being able to hit armor or troops fairly well.

My other idea was to drop the Bass for ten Rough Riders.

Your meltas are pretty well set for taking out heavy armor and with orders your squad lascannons making them twin linked is far better then your lascannon on your LRBT. I'm not against it, but it really isn't needed. You could trade out the two lascannons for a vox caster network.

Also, I'd agree with Fool, trade in your PCS lascannon for special weapons. I'd suggest 4x flamers.

Over all though, very nice list.

I like it. You don't have the boats to protect specials on the command squads until delivery. This way you have 6 anti-tank units to fire at range every turn. With the meltaguns, it means every one of your units can kill anything in the game! 50 scoring squishies is decent for 1000pts, and hopefully 4 scoring units will cut it as well. I like how you squeezed 3 pies in there - Battle and Earthshaker are my favorite flavours!

Tell us how it does, I run platoons and tanks as well and I'd love to know.
