So, tomorrow I'm taking part in a 7500pt apoc game - Imperial vs Chaos (battle report hopefully to follw if I remember my camera..)

On the Imp side we have approx 1500pts Dark Angels, 2800pts DIY Marines, 1800pts Sisters, 700pts Inquisition (Stormies, Assassin, Inq+Retinue in LR) and ~700pts flyers (a Thunderbolt, Lightning and a Vulture)

Assets-wise, the DA player has Primary Objective (or whatever its called - the one that lets you count an objective as worth 2 at the end of the game), The SM player has Replacements (he's decided its worth trying a vanguard squad, then when they get killed he can DS/assault with them all over again!!) and the Sisters (me!) have taken Holy War (because its funny...).


Chaos we don't know exactly. One player is providing all the models for that team and he's a Khorne nut (and has been since the Realm of Chaos days) So we are expecting to face at least 3 big units of Bloodletters, a big unit of Bloodcrushers (5 minimum), Lots of Berserkers, 3 Defilers, 3 Soulgrinders, 4-5 DP's, an assortment of Tanks and our secret agent reports a contingent of Thousand Sons added in as well.

Our one big advantage is that he only has the one flyer (A Hellblade interceptor) so we should quickly be able to gain air-superiority.



So, what advice do the tactical geniuses on Dakka have to ensure the Glory of the Emperor?

All help gratefully recieved...

watch out for pintle mounted havoc launchers, otherwise have fun

Let the Sisters take the brunt of the Khorne Daemon Assault so you can use your FP to get that annoying 3+ invulnerable save so they can stick around and hold them off until the marines can counter charge with something nasty.
