Decided to share my list, which uses a much slandered and I feel under appreciated unit. Rough Riders! They are kinda a "one trick pony" no pun intended, but I have been finding them to be quite effective. Most people seem to forget that as cavalry they have fleet, and a 12" charge. With this min charge range of 19" allows them to get where they need to go. The WIP of the army is here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/320183.page#2745050

The list is pretty straight forward. Choose a location(home objective) for a fire base and plant my infantry squads on it. CCS gives orders as needed, PCS is usually a local counter charge, and does surprisingly well at it. Vet's go for hard targets/secondary objectives, Bastonne keeps them going while out of order range. Vanq and Vendetta go for armor, other tanks targets vary based on mission/enemy. Rough Riders are my wild cards. Melta squad can tank hunt or charge as needed, other squad with Mogul's FC can run around picking squads that have been weakened by shooting.

This list has done surprisingly well. The 2 unit's that the internets seem to deem worthless (rough riders and mortars) are often my MVP's.

I think I've yet to hear someone call rough riders worthless. Mogul kamir on the other hand...

Drop the master of ordnance. The squad's in a chimera, he won't be able to get his artillery atack if the himera moves. You won't need Grenadiers, because they are in Chimeras. But if you deploy gunline, why do you even give them Chimeras? To block off certain paths? A chimera can be better used. Maybe use the 110 pts on something else.

Well, first off, why are you mixing plasma with shotguns? shotguns are made for running forwards plasma is better used as a rapid fire weapon (funny that ). Two more things, im almost 100% sure droppin the vanq for another vendetta would be better and finally, drop the sponsons on the demolisher, its got a 24" range so you want to be moving ever turn (halving the damage done in combat).

@ Tekeino: I put the shotguns on for looks/fluff, and if I'm going to rapid fire the plasma, I'm in shotgun range anyway. I also used to run 2 Vendetta's, but 3 more lascannon shots at the same target was usually overkill. The vanq usually get's just as many kills with it's 2D6(+1 for Pask)

@Scrazza: I go back and forth over the MoO. He either does really good, or does nothing. I've toyed with trading him for a OotF or a Vox network (I miss the old rules here though). Have play tested both and it's still a toss up on what works better for me. And I neglected to mention that the CCS dosen't stay in the chimera. It goes with the vets as extra fire and a back-up ride if theirs get's killed before they reach their target.

Why not spliit your platoon in two and give voxs you'll get a better chance of orders that way
