Scrape the points together and get another hellhound.

Lascannons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missile Launchers are junk. You need Lascannons! 5 Meltaguns will not cut it at 2000 points.

BYE

i know, but i'm not changing that. i agree Lascannons are better, but it's more of a modeling thing rather than an effectiveness thing.

what to drop the get the other hellhound?

any other suggestions? cuz i'd like some other ways to finish up.

oh if i hadn't mentioned this list is actually built, and has 5 more plasmas to fill in pts as of now, but i want a better use of the 54pts as the plasma in the command groups really doesn't help me much.

How will you fight AV14? With 7 Meltaguns tied to 3 footbount units?

I think not.

BYE

generally i play against armies without all around AV14 or with 1 total (maybe 2). in that case i just ignore the thing as land raiders in my experience don't do too much all he time, and hammer the crap out of the rest of his army. it's not a big deal for me, and like i said it's more of a modeling thing rather than effectiveness. the rest of my list is working towards effectiveness so that i don't get pounded every game, and i find it fine.

anyway i'm done talking about lascannons, yes i know they are better but in this one instance i'm ignoring effectiveness for looks. so now ideas for the spending of those 54pts or should i just do what i am doing now, having plasma in the command groups and some surveyors?

Maybe 5 RRs?

ok, just have 5 with lances?
