Swaped a Vindicare with a Callidus Assasin

Hey dude.

-Vindicare's are Unique, and if I remember right you can only have one in your force.

-Dreadnoughts are best when taken in pairs because they're only AV12

-A friend of mine is a believer in running 7-man purifier units in Rhinos sometimes. I definitely see where he is coming from, as I have felt the pain of his Purifiers in rhinos many a time. You can still shoot out of the top hatch, and I think you can get more units that way with how the points work out. The setup you have for your troops is fine, however. Either way can be effective.

-I don't think the hurricane bolters are needed on the Storm Raven. Call me crazy but I'd drop it. With the points from that and the 2nd Vindicare, you should be able to double up on Dreads and get another troops choice.

If you keep the list as-is, I bet you could find a way to add a unit of 5 terminators. Let's say you see a unit of Lightning Claw terminators or some other GKs in power armor. I'd totally throw some 2+ saves at them.

Good luck

ditto on the Vindicare, playing Apoc is nice I usually run 3 of them .

Keep the Psybolt ammo an Hurricane Bolters on the Storm Raven if you are going with TL Heavy Bolter an TL Assault Cannon that thing can pump out 19 TL at least Str 5 shots. Its great for crowd control.

^ Yes, I agree.. but if the 10 purifiers on foot are riding aboard the stormraven, it's likely that you will be moving as quickly as possible. In which case, you're (occasionally) wasting 4 psycannons by putting them inside it.

Plus, it's only AV12. When it stops to go into hover mode in order to bring all of that fire to bear, it will "go to sleep" fast. Zooming is very limiting, and I see a lot of transport fliers dropping into hover mode by turn 3 locally.

I was under the impression it could fire up to 4 weapons while zooming. I dont plan on having purifiers in the ship. Thought having it mainly zooming around picking off softer vechicles and foot slogging units.

I was planning on breaking up the troops into combat squads that would give me 6 scoring units.

Not sure what to take out to get the 2nd dread.

I think he was referring to the guys inside, flyers can fire 4 weapons while zooming.

Good plan, I am not familiar with fliers other than if you want to zoom you must move 18" and get a 90 degree pivot before you do.

From games I've seen, it limits people.

I attribute this 100% to some people just not being fully in tune with 6th edition, however. (like myself)

Try the list out as-is before making changes, I admit it has a good punch to it.

Also an Idea I had was to drop the foot sloging Purifiers and replace with this

HQ: 100
Company Command Squad: 50
Master of Ordnance: 30
Weapons team Lascannon: 20

Elite: 65
Guardsman Marbro: 65

Troop: 155
Veteran Squad:
Chimera:
Meltagun x 3

Would also have to down grade one of the purifier group's halbreds to swords. But this adds another mobile troops choice. A nice ordiance with the Master of Ordnance. And another terminator hunter with Guardsman Marbro.
