Hi just want some advice on a list I've come up with,

Chaplin with jump pack 115

Assault squad 10 man 190

Tac sq 10 man ml fl rhino 205
Tac sq 10 man ml fl raz tl lc 245
Tac sq 10 man ml fl raz assault cannon tl 245

Terms 200
With land raider hb and 2 twin linked las can 250
Stern guard vet ten man 250

Thunder fire cannon 100
Whirlwind 85
Vindicator 115

The general plan is to sit back and let him come to me. Depending on board set up an mission, I will be sending the rhino and assault cannon raz forward with five men and flamer in each, creating a forward firing line that should last a turn or two. Buying me time to shoot with everything else. I will be keeping nothing In reserve, but I will hold on committing the assault squad and Chaplin until the last moment, the terms and stern guard will be setting up firing lines to try and kill as many nids before he gets into assault range. My hope is to get at least 3 full turns of being able to fire the heavy support, concentrating fire on larger targets, one at a time until they are dead.


Thanks for any comments about my list and strategy




Let me know what you think of my. List and stratergy.

Not sure on chappie as HQ choice - assault squad won't stand up against stealers for instance. I would take a libbie for his psychic shield and stick him in termie armour inside the LR.

I would take assult termies in the raider, all you lose are the storm bolters but look what you gain instead.

Send LR forward with transports and change it for a redeemer rather than the lascannon variant. Nids really don't like heavy flamers - they can wound MCs and go through their armour.

I would take either a thunderfire or a whirlwind and not both in HS.

10 sternguard are pricey - trim the squad down in size and put some combi-weapons in there.

razorbacks cant transport 10 they can only trasport6 (or 5 not sure which one) which is a shame but thats life. thats my only addition to what ruminator said
