Hey guys here's the list I am contemplating. I played two games yesterday with it, and while I did win both, both were VERY marginal wins. Granted I feel I was able to comeback from the abyss to do so, but still. In game one, after turn one I had lost 1 Vendetta, my Manticore, my Bane Wolf and a Chimera was stunned. In the second game I had lost my Russ, Bane Wolf was stunned, Chimera Stunned, both Vendettas were dead and my Melta Vets with the demo charge were killed turn one aswell. Despite those set backs, I was able through careful target priority (their troops) I was able to pull out wins. Anyways, I would like to input as too what I can do to make this a stronger list.


CCS- 3xPG, Medic, Carapace, PP, Chimera, H-HF

CCS- 4xMG (ride in Vendetta)

PSB- 8 Sanctioned Psykers, 1 Overseer, Chimera, H-HB

Melta Vet Squad- 3x Melta, Demolitions (ride in second Vendetta)

3xMelta vet Squads- 3x Melta, Chimera, H-HF (all 3 equipped the same)

Vendetta

Vendetta

Manticore

Stock Leman Russ



This leaves me with 150 points.

Options include but not limited too:

Bane Wolf w/MM & Smoke, Hell Hound w/MM & Smoke, Vet Squad- Harker, 3xGL, AC.

I am open to all suggestions, the only things I really don't have access too is another PSB.

Honestly I'd change stuff around a bit and get some more hard armor on the field. Everything you've got other than your stock Russ is able to be peeled open like a tin can with any heavy shooting at all. Putting another AV14 chassis on the field will force your opponent to divide their fire more, or if they concentrate on one they still have a battle tank to worry about. Just having some heavier armor means that you can use it to shield your chimeras a little from Autocannons and the like that can really mess up a transport but largely just dent a larger, heavier tank.

Just my 2 cents. Otherwise when I know I've got some sm or other meqs out there I'll always bring a bane wolf.

in my experience whenever I put troops in vendettas things go awry quickly. try adding 2 Chimeras w/ some additonal upgrades
or a manticore

this list looks really good, but actually you have 125 points left...
well you can get really much for 125 points...
i sugguest you will remove the demolition option from youre veterans... do you think that 3 meltaguns on BS 4 isn't enough??? and give all of youre veteran squads shotguns... you have 12'' range and that is it.
well, back to the points, if you remove the demoltion options, you will have 155 points left. take an extra leman russ, you can use a extra large blast against hordes.
than you have 5 points left, and you may decide what you spending for it.

it is a realy good list!

After playing a game, I ended up with the conclusion that I have a slight need for anti-horde. Mainly anti-horde and not allowing them their cover save. That said I made a few modifications.

CCS- 3xPG, Medic, PP, PW, Carapace, Chimera H-HF
CCS- 4xMG, Officer w/Melta Bombs (ride in Vendetta)

PBS- 8x Sanctioned Psykers, 1x Overseer, Chimera, H-HB

Vet Squad- 2xMelta, 1xFlamer, Demolitions (ride in other Vendetta)
Vet Squad- 3x Flamer, Chimera, H-HF
Vet Squad- 3x MG, Chimera, H-HF
Vet Squad- 3x MG, Chimera, H-HF

Vendetta
Vendetta
Hell Hound- Smoke, H-HF

Stock Leman Russ
Manticore

Comes out to 1750. I could drop the PW on the CCS in favor of Melta bomb's for that Officer, and upgrading the flamer in the Vet Squad for a Melta.

I would really like to fit in an OotF, but I have no idea where to get the 30 points from.

Comments? Critiques?




*edit spelling.

marbo for 65.

and i would trade some vendettas for chimeras if possible. i have seen things just go to bad for vendettas and thier varients.

if you want to keep it that way, here is what i would do with the extra 125 points.

marbo 65 pts. goes anywhere. i know, he is a one trick deal, but, what a trick.

with the extra 60, either a armoured sentinel with auto cannon or, just a chimera.

The problem with Marbo, is that this list is already bleeding KP. 17 to be exact at 1750. If his demo charge only has targets in cover, then whats the point of it being AP2. Plus at T3 and 2 wounds he is one easy KP to give. I would rather not make it that easy.
