Hey all! I'm here for more ideas on what I can do to add some extra awesomeness to my current army.
As of now, the roster includes:

PA Captain, power sword/bolter
TDA Captain, twin Lightning Claws
Chaplain, Power Fist
Librarian
Vulkan He'stan

MM/HF Dreadnought
X6 SB/PF Terminators w/ HF, Land Raider Crusader w/ MM
X6 Sternguard w/ x2 Combi-Meltas, TL Lascannon Razorback

X10 Tactical w/ PF, ML, Flamer, Rhino
X10 Tactical w/ PF, MM, Flamer, Rhino
X10 Tactical w/PF/Combi-Melta, ML, Meltagun, Rhino

MM Land Speeder

Thunderfire Cannon
Predator Destructor (Autocannon/Heavy Bolters)

I was thinking of adding a Pred Annilhiator all Lascannons and a squad of Bikers (3-5) with either Meltas or Plasmaguns.

Available units I could add are:
Biker Librarian
Terminator Librarian
X4 more regular Sternguard
X6 Lightning Clawed Terminators
Venerable Dread (could have TL Las, PC or AC)
1 or 2 More Tactical Squads in Rhinos or I have one more unbuilt Razorback
5 Bikers with whatever weapons for the Sgt and whatever assault weapons
Attack Bike w/ MM
Pred Annilhiator all Las

I think that's it. I know TH/SS Termies are the best unit ever, but they aren't in the cards right now.
Any suggestions would be fantastic!
Thanks!

Drop pods and vindicators... You have to get up close and personnal anyways so why not include the vindis in the fun.
Drop pod I am thinking would be a perfect home for your MM/HF dread.

Ever think you may have a few too many points sunk into your HQ's? More bodies might help some as you burninate the countryside

Another tac squad, and a heavy choice. Seriously.

First off, thanks for the replies, I appreciate you taking the time!
Next, I don't actually use all 5 of the HQs at once, this isn't a list, this is just what I have available in total.
I agree with the Heavy Support suggestion, as I mentioned } was thinking of painting up the Pred Annilhiator with all Lascannons for some serious anti-tank. I don't have any Vindicators yet, or TH/SS Terminators.
What about SM Bikers? They seem to have gotten some perks in the new edition...

I also thought about running BA allies (FOR ARMAGEDDON!) as a Jump Librarian, Furioso Librarian and x5 Assault Marines with a Meltagun and TH/SS for the Sgt in a Storm Raven to add some mobile punch.

Anyways, I think I can probably scrounge together another 10 marines and a rhino to add(currently my other 3 Tactical squads have MM/Flamer, ML/Flamer and ML/Meltagun). Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Vulkan 190

Dreadnough with MM/SB 105

Sternguard- 9 with combi-meltas 270

Rhino 35
Tactical 10 w Melta and MM 175
Rhino 35
Heavy Vindicator 125
Vindicator 125
Vindicator 125
Fast Speeder MM/HF 70
Speeder MM/HF 70
2 Attack Bikes w MM 100


First turn everything moves 12" forward and pops smoke or runs. Second turn, have fun.

Thanks again for the replies!

Only snag with the list is, I don't have x9 CombiMeltas for the Sternguard, three Vindicators or 2 Attack Bikes haha

The thought of x3 Vindicators is pretty awesome though... id hate to give up on my trusty TFC though lol


Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
What about other units like Bikers w/ Attack Bike or Stormtalons or Typhoons or anything?
Does x2 Vindicators and a TFC make a good set of Heavy supports? Or maybe x2 Vindicators and a Pred Annilhiator?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

if your taking terminator salamnders, take vulcan and SS/TH terminators. 1 or 2 ironclad dreadnoughts with at least a heavy flamer in a drop would be great.

Needs Vulcan somewhere.

Again, the above list is more an overview of what I have for the whole of my Salamanders army, what I'm interested in is ideas as to what would help the army as a whole.

I know TH/SS Terminators are the best thing ever(no sarcasm, no joke) but they just aren't in the cards at the moment. I need other ideas mostly utilizing what I've listed in the initial list or the additional figures list below it.

so, out of curiosity, if I were to field TH/SS Termies, what's the best way to run them? Transport? HQ leading them? Vulkan or another TDA HQ like a Libby with shiny new Psychic Powers?

Thanks!
