My Space Sharks army contains 8 Drop Pods, and is a huge pain to haul around with me... I think my bags weigh more than when I played a Mech Guard list.

I looked around for a very small army, that I could put into one Army Transport Mk 2 Bag. I need something that I can take with me on crowded buses and trains up here in snowy Chicago. I think I've created one... tell me what you think of it.

I think the smallest is vulkan, 10 termies, 20 tacs and 3 raiders.

3 Land Raiders take up a lot of room though.

Why bother with the Damocles? It can't even transport anything, and 60 points seems a bit steep for its value. Plus, of course, it's Forgeworld, and a lot of people don't like using forgeworld rules. Use the points to beef up one squad into Belial's retinue.

The Damocles allows you to reroll all scatter and distance dice, plus allows rerolls of reserves, plus allows one Chapter master-esque Orbital Strike... Plus, I own the model.
