Tweaking my list. idea is the company command, comissar (not in the unit) and 2 HW squads will work together kind of like their own little platoon which is why the CCS also has a LC, giving orders to the HW teams and using lord for LD bubble. The rest of the infantry platoon will do their own thing and melt marines with plasma. Vets will be mounted in the valks (only have enough models for 4 meltas at the moment).

Not sure if the lone hellhound will be any good, and not sure the super expensive demolisher is worth it. Maybe a pair of regular russes instead? maybe drop em both for more vets maybe with plasmas & chimeras (I could use my DK grenadiers for those vets, they'd have carapace & 2 plasmas)?

thoughts?

I havn't seen the new profile for the ratlings, but Sniper rifles are like the worst gun in the game, so i don't know if i would take them

but it looks like a good solid list with good support, (exept ratlings)

Well for the ratlings, I have the new models so I want to play with em But also because I had 50 pts to spare when I added everything I wanted. I could swap them for a master of ordinance maybe, but his shot seems like it's gonna be really inaccurate and only good when there's 300 orcs or gaunts running at me.

Ratlings are effective with PBS very effective.

yeah I just don't have the models for a psyker squad yet. I will probably add one one day but right now I wanna play with what I have. Already spent tonsa cash on new stuff. I may try and convert some using cadian chests and robe bottoms and arms if I can find the right models to match.

Looking at some further tweaks... if I take out the hellhound, I can swap it with 5 psykers in a chimera w/ extra armor and a stubber. Or lose the stubber and get 6 psykers? lose the LC in the CCS for another psyker? just seems like with a psyker squad I wanna have it be a full unit so a few can die and the unit will still be able to drop LD effectively.

I have 10 ratlings. I wouldn't mind having them hiding in different places as 2 units of 10. so, maybe I should drop the demolisher instead? or drop the regular russ?
