The plan is the tacs and the vindi and the cannons park together in a corner or on an objective, and shoot missiles and cannon shots, etc. Anything comes close, the vindi blasts, and the tacs can move up and flamer/tankshock/etc. Meanwhile the Stern in pods land on turn one and wreck face as needed, and then likley get mowed down if anything survives them. The TFC pods are empty, and can provide mid/late game LOS blockage, or whatever.


Thoughts? Got a better plan? Does this whole idea suck?

So here's some things.

Tac squad doesn't need the PW.

Thunderfire cannons are cool and fluffy, but also pretty terrible overall. They don't give the long-range anti-tank support you need.
Drop them for Predators w/AC/LC spons. That leaves you 30 more points.

Also, use the two Drop pods and give them to your tacticals. Maybe use the 30 points to put beacons on the three pods going down first. (in case other pods want to come support).

I prefer 7 combi-meltas, 3-combi flamers to 5 and 5, though I'm usually more a fan of all 10 as combi-meltas, but that's up to you.

Everything is kinda okay, but those TFC really aren't worth it, you want them in fortified cover, anyway. Lose them for the preds.

Aside from that it should be fine, though I'm pretty sure the changes I've suggested will help.

Also, think about making the MLs, MMs. I mean, they'll be close to the enemy anyway. If not, be sure to up the combi-melta count in those squads of guard.
