I've been having quite a bit of success lately with all TH/SS but seem to always run in to those vehicles that give me fits and strength 8 hasn't been reliably cutting them open so I was going to add a chainfist to some squads (but due to lack of TH/SS at the moment I was just going to go with one in each squad).

6 squads is hugely excessive. Try 4. You need to balance the shooting in your army and mobility, this can not be done with 6 squads.

Usual take some LCs to help you win cc advice.

470 pts to spend. It seems most people would suggest 3 vindis. Personally I would go three preds.

I agree, you need some LC's in there. Hordes would eat you up.

I personally like Vindies in my list, but preds can work just as well really. It really all depends on what you might face, Heavy tank or hordes? I like the vinide as they can be used to kill tanks and hordes alike. I also run 2 dreads with Plasma cannons. They are very nice and spreads the enemies fire power around.

This is my 2k list. I don't play much 1850 so don't really have a list for that points limit.

I love this list, it gives me mobility with the bikes, lots of fire power and some really hard hiting squads. Each terminators squad is 2 x TH/SS and 3x LC's. I haven't had much trouble with them all dying. Please use this list as you see fit. I have offered it as an example and should only be used as such.

So far I've been pretty much steamrolling for a while with TH/SS.

I have thought of toying with using some LC but I see a TON of ap2/ap1 fielded usually and that scares me. My typical opponents aren't very horde styled at this point levels (only the newer players with 500-1000 points play Orks or IG). But DE have been giving me fits. The lances usually bounce off pretty well but that million poison shots just tears apart squad after squad.

Thanks for the tips. I'll probably proxy up your 2k list and see how it goes. I wouldn't mind seeing a tank or two in my list to take some shooting off my terminators and because they're less reliable to kill.
