Thought about trading in some melta guns and the chimera on the platoon command squad to up the grey hunters to 10 and adding an extra plasma gun but at leadership 8 I am not sure its worth doing.

I look forward to meeting you, I will be wearing a pink "No War" shirt and a Turn 7 Wargaming hat, so come and introduce yourself if you see me.

this seems pretty solid, the only thing I don't get is the platoon. It is not big enough to be an effective blob, and does not have enough special weapons to really take out targets. Are they just a recipient of bring it down with the two cannons?

I agree. Either make the platoon bigger or add something more affective. How about a rhino or razor back for you grey hunters?

Medusas are really good too. In this addition since the template hits everything not just the hole they can easily take out transports that are too close and ap 1 is amazing.

I will most likely be wearing my shirt from the adepticon team tournament it will say Tomb King on the back of it so you cant miss me. I bring out the platoon for 21 wounds you have to deal with and they work well for bring it down and first rank fire, second rank fire, when I also give them re-roll to hit . They are there to hold objectives and be a fire base.

im pretty sure I would have to take more then one medusa as barrage is the only one that can snipe guys out of units and I have the manticore for that roll. My army is more of a dakka them until the fall rather then Low AP. I do have some low ap weapons but not as much as i could have.
