Hello dakka, so I posted this a while ago and it got refined down to this list. I'm riposting it now to see what you all think of it, its not your normal salamander army with vulkan in a drop pod full of sternguards with meltas. so here is what I have put together.


HQ
Vulkan

Troops:
Tactical squad w/ flamer & MM in a rhino
Tactical squad w/ flamer & MM in a rhino
Tactical squad w/ flamer & MM in The FoR

Elites:
Terminators w/ TH/SS in a LR w/ extra armor & a MM

Heavy support:
Pred with auto cannon side laz cannons
Pred with auto cannon side laz cannons
Pred with auto cannon side laz cannons

Fortifications:
FoR w/ 4 heavy bolters and krak storm missile


Vulkan goes with the assault terminators. Thoughts?

Iv never seen the FoR in play, wonder how it will do.
Vulkan works with the Assault terminators. Thats how i have it in my salamanders.

One thing about the FoR, is that it each section is a different building. So you need one squad to man the lascannon, one for the krackstorm, and some extra guys to run the bolters, wherever you stick them.

Combat Squadding a tac squad will take care of 2 out of the 3, but you need another unit. This might actually be a good place to use a bare-bones techmarine. 50 points gets you a guy to man a gun.

well what i was going to do was combat squad the tac squad and have one man the iccuras cannon and the other on the heavy bolters, then just let the krak storm auto fire at stuff.

i mean that should work right? i know there are 3 sections to the building but they are all considered occupied if im in one section right?

I'd have to check the fine print in the building section. My understanding is that every section is treated as a separate building. I could easily be wrong though, you might want to double check.

See what i want to know is that even though each section is treated as a separate part, is a building still occupied even if you dont have troops in them? i mean i payed points to field it, then no matter what i own it, right?

Can i get any more opinions on this list?

To be onest iv never run a Meq army with so many preads init but it could work quite well. I normaly run a LR with Vulkan and a ten man tac team and two rino's with with two ten man tac teams. I then use the LR to sheild the Rino's getting across to objectivces while useing devistators to smash anything comeing your way. You could do the same thing with the Preds.

To be onest you could achive the pritty much the same thing by swapping the FoR for a normal bastion and saveing your self some points too.

Hope that helps

How much does a bastion cost? Right now the FoR is 290 but that with full upgrades, 4 HB and the krak storm missile, which is why i took the thing, a large blast ordinance krak missile with 96" range seemed pretty nice lol
