Thoughts: It's a mech list. All Initiates and Neophytes are BP/CCW. I was thinking about trading the Support squad for 6*Bolter Marines in a TL LC Razorback. I prefer the Pred Destructors with AC/LC for the 2*S7 + 2*S9 shots over the Annihilator with TL LC/HB.

I have three assaulty units, with a powerfist and powerweapon each, plus a character. A combined charge from 2 of the units should be enough to kill most enemies in HTH. Shooting wise, most of my AT is concentrated in 2 AV13 vehicles, which is unfortunate, but that's how BT roll. The Vindicator will either move under cover of the LRC, or move as a fire magnet to distract from the LRC (depending on the opponent, terrain, etc.). I've got 13 points spare for goodies (crusader seals on the Support squad?).

As an aside, how do people think BT will do with 5th ed? I'm thniking they'll get a slight bump (especially foot BT).

Wht not give the Marshal some weapons with the points left

An excellent point. Didn't realize that his termie armor didn't come with PF/stormbolter.

Drop the holy hand grenade, and add a PW.
