Howdy dakka,
So here's the story, I'm soon about to face my friend and his new
IG gunline army (painted like redcoats from the movie
Zulu). Don't get me wrong, I want to kick his
and I'll bet he wants to do the same to me, but I want to try something a little different to so I've dusted off my old Grav tank horde. No wave serpents though.
His army should consist of something like 60+ guardsman bodies + heavy weapons, probably some Leman Russ tanks and perhaps self-propelled artillery. I'm going to attempt a 'coup
de grace' type tactic and try to knock out all his high strength weapons/vehicles on whatever turn my cloudstrike decides to turn up, allowing the squadron to cut down bodies with impunity for the rest of the game. If the troops inside have to die to ensure it, so be it. I have other units to continue lapping up objectives.

I know an Autarch would be better for the reserve manipulation, but I don't currently have one and don't have the time to buy/paint one before the weekend and I don't think he can table me before the cavalry arrives because he's so slow. Whaddya think? Its all a theory and plenty could go wrong I'm sure. Thanks for any comments, I'll update with results eventually.
