As ever, c&c welcome. The plan is, put pressure on the foe with 30 fast horses with frag or melta tips, bring them back with reinforcements, use the infantry for objective holding.

Ta,
Cap'n R.

Well, with the new points costs I'm saving 60 points!
Should I spend it on:
More infantry

Switching infantry squads with heavy weapons to krieg squads with specials, and upgrading the commissar to a marshal

Something else?

I was actually thinking of building something similar to this, but supporting them with Ogryns and Ratlings instead for the full models you never see on the table experience.

Let us know how it goes, I'm curious if all that cavalry is as good as I think it will be at 1k points.

Will do!
And while I think ogryns are rad, ratlings haven't been very useful for a while. But I saw someone use them for movement blocking on YouTube and that was pretty effective; sniping doesn't really do anything any more though.

I wasn't thinking for damage purposes. Since the Ratlings have both stealth and Infiltrate and are only 60 points, they're reasonably flexible support units. You can have them guard your homefield objective, infiltrate to the mid to keep the enemy from deploying too aggressive, and with move shoot move, they can run around the board pretty fast to do secondaries. Any damage they do manage to deal is just a nice little bonus.

Also, I just like playing the units that no one ever sees.

Ah well you've got excellent justification then!
That reminds me, I have some of the 2nd ed ones kicking around that I should really ebay...
