Looking for some advice on my thousand point list. My main goal is to get into cover and set up a fire line until the bassies soften stuff up then move in with the plasma vets within rapid fire range

I don't play IG but with my Nidz, I sure do cop it from them.

Your idea seems pretty solid to me, but I can see it lacking in a few areas.

You have an astounding lack if Anti-tank firepower that can pop Av13-14 reliably. Sure you have the bassies to smack them around a bit with the ordinance rules, but then you would be wasting the blast template on a vehicle not infantry, what it is designed to do.

You roll objectives for your mission? You lack rapid-redeployment. You will have to foot slog your way across the board, meaning your AC's can't shoot, and the only thing you can do in your shooting phase is lay down two pie plates. To me that seems a little bit silly :/

Sorry if that seems a little too harsh, but that's how I see it.

That does look like a nice solid BS4 gunline, but A-hivemind is right, no serious anti-tank weapons. You could drop your last two vet squads and add a vanquisher with pask, or a standard russ with pask.

I'm not to sure on how many points a Valkyrie/vendetta is so maybe do what Mr Sins said and drop the last two vet squads and take a vendetta and the other squad with melta.

Have you take Carapace armour for your squads too?
That thought just dawned on me.

They will fall to easy to up in your face, assaulting armies.
Vulkan and a drop podding Salamander army with flamers everywhere? That will destroy your army in no time.

I will have to look into some Valkyrie s there awesome models. Also would it be better to take cloaks we play on super dense Terrain boards.

If your facing someone with lots of flamers, no. lol The carapace is good against space marine with bolters, flamers and frag missiles.

I like this list. It does have some issues with heavy armor. I have played a list similar to this in a small point game, 750. The way to play a list like this is to sit and camp out and let the enemy come to you. Your orders should usually cut them down. Expect to lose some guys in close combat though. The basilisks are good in this list, but vulnerable too.
