Thunderer Siege Tank-140

this makes 1500
For these two lists, the main idea is vendettas take out the vital anti-tank firepowers, then thunderer and LRBTs form a tight formation, play the role of shield for the Chimeras behind. and push toward the enemy line. After enter 18 inch from the enemies the formation break up and spread out to take out appropriate targets.

an alternative take of 1500. Idea is CCS, sentries verterans, LRBT and manticore camp behind the Aegis to shoot whatever they can shoot, meanwhile Grenadiers and Thunderer running across the board to shoot the plasmas, Vendettas take important targets.

there, 1750. Basically camo CCS, three tanks and Manticore sit behind the Aegies and lay pie plates, Vendettas take out long-range treats, grenadiers running around and shoot plasmas.

That`s it. Thought? any CC would be welcome

Honestly, your lists seems kinda light on troops. Might want to expand your troops choices.

Yeah, two vet squads at 1750 is way too light on troops. A good opponent can simply kill them (and veteran squads in Chimeras aren't all that durable) and win on objectives.

You want 4-6 Troops at such point levels. I suggest dropping your Leman Russes and Thunderers. They're....not very good.

hmm..Thx a lot for the replies

I see, what about another chimera of plasma vet instead of leman executioner? or maybe an infantry platoon fill with autocannon to sit behind aegis?

btw, for 1500 ones are troops kind of ok?

IMO the Thunderer is actually decent. It's a Demolisher, but for 25 points cheaper and without the 6" movement restriction on the turns you need to move to get into range. Losing the turret is annoying, but if saving those points over Demolishers lets you fit in some meaningful units/upgrades elsewhere in your list then it can be a legitimate tradeoff.

Nah. You've got 20 guardsmen worth of troops. Once they're out of a Chimera, it'll take roughly 45 bolter shots to wipe off all your troops. I don't need to tell you, it's worse when they're firing actual weapons at them.

Don't ditch the Executioner. The Executioner and Manticore are your good HS choices.

The LRBT needs to go, and Peregrine is right, the Thunderer isn't THAT bad, it probably fills an important spot in your list that otherwise lacks High Str/Low AP Large Blasts. If you take an Infantry Platoon, it should have Lascannons and Plasma Guns; you want it killing stuff, not tickling it.
