Ok so the list comes in at 1502, so i need to cut 2 pts from it. Any suggestions. My biggest concern is the number of troops. Ya i know thousand sons tend to have that problem to begin with but thats really my only gripe about this list. The smaller squads are the week point of the list. Sure they hit hard in combat, but thats if they ever get there. And with only 6 of them there arent that many to soak up shots. ill just have to pray that the rhinos make it, i mean they only have to live 1 turn right. Move up 12 pop smoke, move 12 and jump out. I think the HQ is solid. There both cheap and can put the hurt on hoards and if need be bigger things. They are especially good at taking down MEQs which is what i was looking for.

 

ok, after some thinking and some debate from some friends i am going to drop the missile launcher from the dread. ill then add extra armor to it making it more movement friendly. this will also solve my points problem giving me a total of 1497. it sucks to have to drop the missiles cause sons need all the heavy weapons they can get. anyone got any ideas?
