so i know everyone keeps saying mech is dead, but i find that hard to believe. the TWC go out in front and charge a head, the rhinos rush forward to midfiled and the LF and RB just lay down cover fire. i no its a 5th list, but you still have to go through 7 rhinos, 5 TWc all with SS, 40 GH, and 18 ML toting LFs. am i missing something? im just not buying the whole footslogging thing? its slow and your to vulnerable to shooting, the more stuff you have on the broad the more decisions your opponent has to make. plus i feel that SW need to bring lots of shooting to keep up with all the new stuff coming out (i.e CSM, Necrons, GK) im just trying to pack as much shooting in my list while still playing just SW and TWC cause i like them. thoughts?

i like it but i think a Wg pack with drop pod will be more effisint

I like this list. It's simple but fits well. I do however have a major complaint:

Mixing weaponry. I'm aware you've done it to keep the weapon upgrades free, but it drastically limits the effectiveness of the unit when it picks a target. You're wasting one special weapon each time you fire. Again, it's hard to call a free weapon a waste, but I think you'd get a better out-put from the units if you specialised more.

I'd ditch one or two storm shields from the TWC to pay for the weapons you want.

What powers are you giving the RP?

A future update on how this list works out in a game would be cool too!

Edit: After thought - Do you need the 9 GHs with the RP? Could this work better as 5 GHs with the free flamer but inside a Razorback? Maybe assault cannon or Las-plas. I would also throw some meltas in there just for insurance.

I would say a thunderwolf lord would be better.

Try taking out a thunderwolf and upgrade a thunderwolf for the lord and maybe take another one out for a rube priest.

your TWC will not survive charging in front of your army without a lord to cover up those small arms fire. but you might not expect them to be anything other than bulletmagnets to make your rhinos get in place?

to Griddlelol, the RP would probablly use LL and JoTWW most of the time, maybe switch for new powers every now and then. yeah im not a fan of mixed weapons either, but i did it to fit everything else in. also i was thinking it cant be all that bad? if im charged the FL really hepls with overwatch and its a hard call, but when i make list i try to make them at 1500, 1750, 1850 and 2000. i try to keep the unit kit out the same throught out the points and just add numbers when the list goes up. and yes the TWC are there to soak up fire and cause i like them. i'll be home soon and plan to start doing battle reports.
