Well thanks for the info Xiber! Ya I did notice that alot of the guys had plasma weapons and thats just because what was in the DV boxset. But I was thinking of proxying the tac squad sergeant with just a bolt pistol because ya the plasma pistol is pretty much useless. Also I was unaware you couldnt shoot the Plasma Cannon after moving (Shows how much of a noob I am) but maybe I will proxy it for a multi melta until I get my modeling skills up and can actually replace the plasma cannon for a real multi melta bit.

As for the rhino/razor, I agree that I do need a way to transport my tac squads across the field and your right they will just get gunned down before they are of any use.

I am not sure if its a good idea to use the DV Captain because is it really useful to have 2 HQ units at 1000 point mark?

Now for GummyBear, I have been looking at the storm talon actually but I think your idea of the Predator would be really good too because I am lacking heavy and I think (not 100% sure) but I am assuming that the Predator with LC and AC would be pretty powerful

A lascannon pred is usually not worth it they are overpriced you should just get a dev squad instead preds work usually best with just the naked autocannon on top

Well the devastator squad and the predator is a little expensive (money wise) and can get a decent deal on some dreadnoughts would 2 dreadnoughts with multi-meltas and storm bolter? would that work for taking out heavy armored vehicles? As well as replacing the plasma cannon guys in each tac squad with multi meltas?

Would that be an okay start for taking out vehicles?

Oh also what if I added some tau fire warriors and a battle suit commander and something else to make about 1250? Or that dumb :p

I will go with 750 points (figured something out for that) just to start see what I need and what is bad and whats good and how I like to play


Sorry for being redundant but thanks for the Info everyone

play it out then see which units you like more for playstyle wise and then proxy things like devs and try those out and use like a rhino or razorback for a pred/vindicator and see how you like those

Yes, proxing is good option, but do not use multimeltas in your tacticals until you strike from the sky via drop pod, MM has very limited range and it is heavy so only snapshots if you moving, they are good on bikes, spiders or dreadnoughts in drop pods

2 HQ at 1000pts will be to much, but it is good enough to play your first friendly match without any need of additional money to spend

Warhammer is very expensive (money wise)(sadly T_T) you can't create a good army without spending a lot of money, I was trying very hard with no success
try eBay or, how it will be on english: swap-shop?
dreadnoughts with MM are good, if you put them in drop pod, so they can get in range of melta effect, storm bolter on drednought should be replaced by HF, always.
also as I see dreds are from AoBR set, they a realy cheap ( for GW ) you can buy from FW(or other manufatures) a pair of autocannons for them, 2 rifleman dreds will give you 8 twinlinked S7 AP4 shots it is (with a bit of luck) two rhinos down per turn
for tacticals use ML, PC or LC if you going with rhinos\razors but not MM

Oh also what if I added some tau fire warriors and a battle suit commander and something else to make about 1250? Or that dumb :p

Tau + SM is very questinoble (both story and rules) IG is better you can take with them 3 LRBT and 3 Vendettas best tank and flyer in the game right now

I will go with 750 points (figured something out for that) just to start see what I need and what is bad and whats good and how I like to play

I strongly recomendate to play at least 5 games at 500-1000 pts level before buying any additianal stuff, if you going to save money, do not make a mistake which I did.

PS:
converting PC tacs to MM will be very difficult or even impossible
in 6th edition you have to:
deal with hordes ( flamers, blast weapons, bolter drill)
deal with elite infantry like terminators,nobs etc (plasma, S8+ or AP1-3)
deal with light vehicles (Autocannons, missiles, plasma, LC)
deal with heavy vihecles (Melta, LC partialy)
and, finally flyers (we have nothing for this IMHO)
and do it all in the same time!!
