Heavy

MYSTERY SLOT

At first I ran the Vindicator because the Demolisher cannon is too fun, but I found it getting popped way too often. I tried out a Defiler with 4 CCWs and he's been doing okay, but he can also get popped fairly easily or get his Battlecannon blown off. Also WS 3 and I3 means even though it gets a ton of attacks, it misses roughly half of them against pretty much every one and Dreads go before it and kill it without it touching them. I feel that the more effective unit would be another pair of oblits but I figure I'd pick the collective brain of Dakka on these 3 almost identically costed choices.

/picks your brain. Pick, pick, pick.

Obliterators are the better choice. You get more firepower, more survivibility and more versitility for the same points.

Your list could use a few more toops only 16 models that die as easily as marines is far too few for a 2000pt army. I would try to get at least three units of troops at 2000pts.

Dont discard the humble havocs. Low cost, ability to crank some great Heavy weapons, flick them in a rhino when you need to move them about, and very very cheap.
