Hi all.

So since you now can play with the Forge World units nowadays without asking for your opponents permission and also, if I understand correctly, in ITC as well I have tried to make a nice new tanky army.
I think I have read in an faq that you can take a Techmarine instead of the old Master of the Forge to take more than one relics in your army.

So. This is my melta immune Iron Fist. Is it full of cheese, is it stupid or just wrong?

Techmarine 65.p

10x Tactical Marines: Plasma rifle, Combi plasma, Rhino 200.p

10x Tactical Marines: Plasma rifle, Combi plasma, Rhino 200.p

5x Tactical Marines: Melta Gun, Combi Melta, Melta Bombs, Drop Pod 130.p

5x Assault Terminarors: Thunderhammer, Storm Shield 225.p

Spartan Assault Vehicle: Armoured Ceramite, Shism of Mars 340.p

Relic Sicaran: Dozer Blade, Armoured Ceramite, Heavy Bolters 180.p

Relic Sicaran: Dozer Blade, Armoured Ceramite, Heavy Bolters 180.p

Stormtalon Gunship: Skyhammer Missile Launcher 115.p

Stormtalon Gunship: Skyhammer Missile Launcher 115.p

1750.p

The Shism of Mars cost as much as two power weapons and give the Spartan +1 BS but more importantly, Tank Hunter and 4++ against Haywire.
Armoured Ceramite negate the melta rule and cost as much as two power weapon.

I think the big issue here is strength D which when a six is rolled you can say bye bye to any of your tanks and eldar list is likely to have some form of D in it

Yes, D might be a problem. Wraithknights might be the weakness of the army. Anyone got some ideas on how to counter it? I am not worried about Wraithguards since the range of their rifles is too short and my Sicarans will destroy their wave serpents.
