Thoughts?

Looks solid. Putting your assault unit in a flyer is a bit risky, but it might be worth it. Putting them in a LRC, and swapping a Manticore for another Demolisher could be another option. 3 AV 14s packing heat and supporting each other might be very effective as well.

It would be very iffy because The land raider is going to drive up fast to try and get that assault unit in combat sooner, where as the demolishers are really slow and if they fire to close to the land raider have a good chance of blowing it up. But the mor av14 the better as your opponent will probably try to shoot at it so much that he will be wasiting his fire power on them rather than the chimeras.

I would probably end up having to downgrade to Malta Guns on the Company Command squad in order to afford the Land Raider and Demolished combo that was discussed.

I had been concerned about putting the henchmen in a Rave but for the price I think it does much more than the Land Raider for me. I will have to try that out.

I do like the idea of 3 AV14's up front but then I feel I will start to miss the Manticore pair ad as was mentioned earlier, I run a higher chance of killing my own guys.

Yea its your call 2 manticores or 2 demolishers, but its also questionable with the raven because then you will have 3 fliers in reserves, so you may want that av 14 demolisher.

Was wondering the same thing, I would have about 1300 points on the table against a possible 2000 at any given point.

Thanks for the suggestions this far, if anyone else has any ideas, let me know.

My opinion about the IG side would be to put things in the vendetta. Perfect for late game capping. I would ditch the chimeras

Although that means less for him on the board and manticores are actually pretty easy to kill once you get los to them. If he didnt run the storm raven and have units in it and ran the land raider it wouldn't be bad to put units in the vendetta but with that much in reserves your forces on the table will take a beating.
