I don't care what kind of C&C I get I just need to know whether or not this list would work

ANY C&C I wouldn't care if it was "this list is awesome no C&C needed"

This list will work.

.....

That platoon is not how I would have it. The PCS is over geared. Also, I think the point cost listed for it is wrong.

so,

here's how I would field the platoon:

PCS: 2 GL, PF = 55

Infantry Squad, Autocannon, GL, Vox = 70

Infantry Squad, Autocannon, GL, Commissar w/ PW = 110

Blob the 2 squads into one for orders and efficiency.

...

The Sentinels are also not costed correctly.

...

youll get slammed on comp for all the melta spam and repetition, but it looks like a decent list...

the only problem is that you have nothing that can take out heavy armor at long range

I think thats probably what the hunter-killers were for

The HK and the Meltas scouting in the Valk are both for long range and I haven't had the need to put anything else in my army for it. Also why not put a Autocannon in the PCS to get more autocannon shots? The rest of it makes sense though it would make it much more efficent to have less in there but don't you need a vox in the pcs and the and the blob squad to receive orders? The only reason I put the standard in there is because I like the model and when its all blobbed together they all get the bonus. Why not give the sergeants pw so they can actually hurt things in close combat?

I'd rather have grenade launchers in the platoon or a plasma pistol on the commander than the vox network. Otherwise, I like it - you've got lots of bodies, armour, and firepower.

okay murdog what about this?

Yep, looking good. Now why not switch the platoon commander's AC to 2xGL, so you've got assault weapons with the PF's.

You could drop the PF's and move the commissar to the regulars. Then you could fill out the PCS and probly more...

Correct me if I'm wrong but are the PCS and the infantry squads are all one platoon. Does that mean they are one unit and have to stay in coherency? So if I have autocannons in the infantry squads it doesn't matter if I have them in the PCS. What if I did it like this?

Wings,

No, the table a PCS is a totally different unit. It does not need to maintain coherency with infantry squads. In addition, you can have entirely different heavy/special weapons in a PCS than in your infantry squads.

In addition, you do not need to deploy your PCS anywhere near your infantry squad. In 5th edition, the only thing they must do together is bring the PCS and line squad out of reserves at the same time. For instance, if you had three platoons in reserves (for whatever reason) you would roll for each platoon as as separate unit. However, you could deploy the individual squads wherever you wanted (as long as you deployed as per the reserves rules, of course).



Tallarn Commander,

IG, "We are many. They are few."

Okay thx Tallarn
looking at the list do you think it will be effective? and I have a battle tomorrow so I'll be putting up a battle report with some pictures

Would it be better to have a squadron of medusas, manticores, basilisks or even colossus?
