**Strangelooper**

I like it. But it needs more indirect for later turns, when 8 of your vehicles have become smoking LOS-blocking wrecks...

Maybe trade out one infantry squad + chimera for 2 more Griffons?

**Centurian99**

Where are the AV14 tanks? Without them to attract the majority of your opponent's AT firepower, you're screwed.

**wight_widow**

You've got a bucket of AP4 shots from your basic IFVs - it may be worthwhile going Basis over Griffons. A little more emphasis on anti-MEQ and a little less on anti-horde would probably not hurt.

ID on BOTH command squads IMHO is proper and fitting. Plasma > melta for the PHQ. Close Order Drill I take it has been left as an unstated assumption.

Overall, the list as it stands looks pretty good.

edit - IMHO no Russ is needed - the list has TONS of redundancy. 'sides, if Russes WERE included, an opponent would still have the option of picking on lower AV due to it being a mechanized list. Why give NME lance weapons a purpose?

**kaiservonhugal**

Close order drill is assumed, youre correct. Also, I didnt include any AV 14 just for that reason mentioned. Not that I dont understand the logic for having AV14. Also, for some subjective reason, I think 12 vehicles is the number needed at 1850. I swapped the Meltas for plasma (reluctantly though, I think the list needs some focused AT). For anti-MEQ, I have a ton of shooting, but I also dropped a hellhound and added a basilisk. No the lisk has 2 hellhounds, a griffon and a bassie, in addition to 8 chimera

**Mannahnin**

Looks solid. I like the addition of the Bassie to really reach out and touch someone.

Where are you at now, Dom? Tom's still doing 40k most Monday nights and I'm running another tournament in a couple of months- most likely Sunday 5/20.

**kaiservonhugal**

I am overseas in a place called Kosovo - lol I get Toms invites and believe me, I look forward to going again. I ll be home for the holidays

**Mannahnin**

Stay safe, man. I'll look forward to a game when you get back.

**H.B.M.C.**

The only changes I'd make would be:

Ditch one Hellhound and replace it with another Griffon.

With a bit more shuffling you can add Extra Armour to all the Chimeras as well as Searchlights. Everything else stays the same.

The only reason I went with another Bassie and no extra armor instead of the 2nd Griffon - is I simply dont have the model and itll be difficult to track one of those down.

One Hellhound is just asking to get blasted to pieces very early on.
