Vendetta

Strengths: Very good shooting, decent amount of armor, 4 troop choices at 1500 all with some decently good mobility, good amount of anti-air.

Weakness: low amount of counter attack powers. Need some AP2 counter attack (need to squeeze out some 6 points for 2 hammers) Low psychic powers, no psychic defenses other than reinforced aegis. Not very strong warlords. Not alot of ignore cover or ways to get around enemy aegis defenses.(i.e. lack barrage weapons). Very dependent on existing cover. Not alot of long range anti-tank. (5 total LC's, and some str 6 shooting and 1 battle cannon only)

So all in all been doing ok with this as it seems to have a bit of everything. Was looking for critique on what to replace and potentially for expansion as 1500 is pretty small for an allies build. What do you guys think will do well at say 1750 or 2000 with this kind of baseline?

I also am debating if I wanna toss the hydra for an aegis defense line. Maybe get rid of the LR and go for a demolisher? Or sub it out for another dreadnaught? (it'd let me get some plasma guns in the Company command squad)

Shameless bump but was thinking of going with a baslisk or manticore in place of the LRBT, what do you guys think? What to drop for the Aegis defense line?

Use a manticore,
