Hi guys. So, I just got back from a small tournament weekend in York, where I tried out (roughly) this list. I didn't have everything assembled yet, but hey. You can read the report here

TL Heavy Rail Rifle,

EWO) with 6 Missile Drones [282]
* Aegis Defense Line, Comms Relay [70]
Total - 1850
I only won one game, but my two draws were both due to stupidly forgetting to move units on the last turn (rather than the list) so I think, list-wise, they count as wins. I summarised my main thoughts as follows, though have a read of the report and see what you think....
-
HYMP would give me another anti-flyer solution instead of the Rail Rifles, but there were a couple of times where that AP1 came in REALLY useful for exploding tanks. Overall, I guess the broadsides felt a little underpowered by their lack of Skyfire and reliance on other units' markerlights
- The Skyrays felt a little underpowered - maybe because I faced relatively few flyers (and no flying circusses). Mostly, they felt a little hamstrung by their 36" markerlight range, and being only S8
- The pathfinders weren't that great, but again, a couple of times I was really thankful for the alternative source of markerlights.
- The super-commander-missile-marker unit worked really well, though I often forgot about Tank Hunters. Six marker drones was overkill - nothing really required that much.
- The last game threw me. I realise he passed an inordinate number of saves, but only having one unit really useful against marines was a bit scary - I'm glad I never came up against the Terminator armies, or what should be my tactics against them?
