Okay, I re-examined my Abhuman paratrooper list, and it occured to me that, if I were to drop Afriel Strain, and specialized the Veterans a little more, I could free up the points and doctrines to add in a pair of Special Weapons squads, which would be the perfect place to put some dropping meltaguns, since Special Weapons squads can't take Plasma Guns.

The problem is, I am completely torn about the decision to lose Afriel Strain, and I'm not sure which list would preform better. I'll post up both lists so that you can see them both.

Thoughts?

Man, that's the joy of Anime! To revel in the complete and utter wastefullness of making an unstoppable nuclear-powered combat andriod in the shape of a cute little girl, who has the ability to fall in love and wears an enormous bow in her hair.

The Hammer

Iron Discipline might help to make up for the loss of ATSKNF, but take this with a grain of salt as I don't know all-drop IG as well as certain others.

When soldiers think, it's called routing.

1)Meltas and flamers should not be put in line squads with heavy weapons. Keep them in the command sqads, and move the plasma to the line squads

2)Harded vets should not have a heavy weapon in a drop list. They will never get to shoot it. They will be dead the turn after they land.

3)No improved comms? Even if you grab a single sentinal with a multi-laser it is worth it. Remember they can deep strike as well, and that re-roll is worth it in a list like this.
