The idea is that everything should be able to react to something with decent effect. The most glaring weakness I see is the reliance on only 3 units for AP2. Termies are big this edition, and if an opponent takes out my plasma boat chimera or exterminator tank, I may have some problems. The stormtroopers, Valkyrie, and marbo provide some flexibility, while the vets in the chimera and Valkyrie wait for the right moment to pounce on an objective. My goal is to make each unit that does not have plasma in it a flexible and capable of engaging high-priority targets to some extent (hence all the melta), while punisher pask and the Valkyrie for crowd control.

Any thoughts?


A few things you should know before recommending stuff:

I don't have any more chimeras.
I don't have any more valkyries.
I (sadly) don't have an aegis.

Your numbers are low in my opinon. You could easily shave off excess plasma pistols, and redudent weapon upgrades for addition squads with a heavy weapon team. I am just pointing out you have about 60pts or more in squads that are what i call: one hit wonders. They drop, hit, and die. I try to keep these squads small and just enough to get the job done, i feel your storm troopers are maybe to much to get it done. Perhaps even more storm troopers to get the job done. as in more smaller squads.
