Hey Dakka, after my 2000 point GK army is finished I am planning on starting my own FW Army, I've chosen Guard and Death Korps of Krieg, In this army I am looking to make them look like a German WII Panzer Division and am making a semi-competitve list to buy the units from. I will be playing Semi-Competitve Games at my FLGS. All Comments are Welcome.

*Note I will not be taking Valkyries as I am trying to keep it as fluffy as possible

Meltaguns resemble the German Panzerfaust and Heavy Flamers are there to keep fluffiness.

HQ:

Company Command Squad 180
3 Meltaguns, Heavy Flamer, Carapace Armour, Krak Grenades, Chimera, Heavy Flamer

So Far 1570/1750

Now this where i was having a bit of trouble, which of the three do you guys think is better?

2 Hydra Flak Tanks 150

2 Griffons 150


Whatever i will take will influence what i spend the remaining points on, I might try and replace the Leman Russes for Executioners, but i don't think it would be very WWII fluffy lol

Any Tips?

I would personally go for the hydra's over the griffon's both in terms of fluff as well as effectiveness. I would also suggest dropping the sponsons on the russes as you need to sit still to fire them. This is bad. In addition, I would suggest dropping all the carapace to free up points, as it really doesn't do anything because your riding around in a tank. Lastly, switch the banewolfs for hellhounds. They're a little more fluffy and a lot more effective IMO
