Total Roster Cost: 2499

Good Fire support and use the bikes as my assault unit. Enough anti tank with the meltas and enough anti infantry with the preds and troop choices. hopefully it goes good for me with this list.

Im guessing you guys dont have any comments for this list. Hopefully i get in three games before the tournament.

My only issues would be the sheer cost of the Command squad. over 20% of my army in a single unit (if you include the commander) at such high point levels could lead to some issues since everyone has some big and nasty weapons out there that can deal with it. Not saying I don't like it just that it's a lot of points to sink.

The rest of the list looks solid. Look out for mobile shooty armies since they'll drop your fast element then play tag with your dreads. I might look into putting a ML on the dreads or an auto-cannon if I could since they are slogging it you don't need 4 multi-meltas and the extra range could really help.

You have more flamer and multimeltas than you could shake a stick at, but no vulkan? Rerolls on all your guns is surely too good to pass up.

You should also consider that one of the 'ard boys missions values HQ choices at 5KP, so you will be giving away 15KP in one unit!

I would swap the HS dread into another Landspeeder and maybe even drop the scout squad for another 2.

Your CS is a very nice unit. Seems stelek like ;D.

I would drop the MotF at this point and probably add in a libby or something.

It looks pretty good atm truthfully.

i looked at everything i owed and this is wat i could come up on short notice without buying anything else. i wish i could add more land speeders but i dont have them yet. the command squad is there for the fact that i need a heavy hitting unit and i didnt want to run termies. The MotF is there to go with the scouts and to have the extra dreadnought. I wish i had another predator and replace it with the dread. Yeah what a dumb scenario. I have 40 kill points for that mission. I guess i have to table the enemy.

Command squad is strong, but suffers from lack of internal diversity, so can't take full advantage of wound allocation.
If you make each model different (eg swap 1xLC for 1xPW, and drop a MB) then you can spread the wounds around more advantageously.

Cheers, Paul.

hey only have one wound paul how would wound allocation help here.

Pretty sure its actually an exact copy of his 'Best of Space Marines for 'Ard Boyz' list...

Your Squad takes 5 wounds: 1 on champ, 1 on Apoc, 3 on LC/SS/MG guys - 2 unsaved wounds = 2 dead minis.
My squad (all different) - 5 wounds: 1 on each - 2 unsaved wounds = 2 dead minis.

Your squad takes 6 wounds: 1 on champ, 1 on apoc, 4 on LC/SS/MG guys - 2 unsaved wounds = 2 dead minis.
My squad (all different) - 6 wounds: 1 on each and one doubled up - if the 2 unsaved wounds are both on the the doubled up guy he dies twice and only 1 dead mini.

Cheers, Paul.
