Hey Dakka - Help me out with this list. I am thinking this list would be pretty nasty in a 1K tourney.

HQ:
Libby

Elite:
Furioso Dreadnought w/ Frag Cannon, Heavy Flamer, Drop Pod

Furioso Dreadnought w/ Frag Cannon, Melta, Drop Pod

Troops:
ASM x10 w/ PW, 2x Melta (No JP's), Drop Pod

ASM x6 w/ PW, Melta

Heavy Support:
Stormraven w/ AC, MM, and 4x BSM.

998

Basic idea is to have the 2 fragnoughts drop in turn 1 and blast the every living snot out of one or 2 nasty units with the rending shotgun shells . The Libby will just sit in the Stormraven flying around casting shield. The JP assault squad will jump around and pick off AV or stay out of sight and hold objectives. The DP squad will plop down on an enemy objective late game and help the dreads if need be.

I was also thinking of dropping a few points (45) to upgrade the libby to TDA and SS and/or switching the ASM drop pod to the smaller squad.

Edited to include second list:

HQ:
Libby w/ TDA and SS

Elite:
Furioso Dreadnought w/ Frag Cannon, Heavy Flamer, Drop Pod

Furioso Dreadnought w/ Frag Cannon, Melta, Drop Pod

Troops:
ASM x10 w/ PW, 2x Melta (No JP's), Drop Pod

ASM x5

Heavy Support:
Stormraven w/ AC, MM, and 4x BSM.

Thoughts?

So, basically. What you start with on the table is 5 ASM ... Sounds a bit risky if opponent seize or start.

it wouldn't matter it checks at the end of both turns.
Legitmatlly if he puts the LIB in the SR he can start with no troops on the field.
Then drop pod assault lets him come in turn 1with half his guys.
Your putting the LIB in witht the assault squad on the SR right?
i would take the blood angels powers to make him have a "Jump Pack" then lump him with the 5 man assault squad.

Also check your weapons on your dread naughts don't think you can frag and heavy flamer/melta it should be one or the other.

Correct, I can start with nothing on the board . I like the idea of giving the libby the jump power, I didn't know which other power to give him. I was not planning on putting the 5 man assault squad in the SR, but it could be done. I am just always so hesitant to do it since it can end so badly. Skies of Blood helps and I could do that the turn the SR comes in.

As for the weapons load out on the dreads....all it says in the codex is to replace one blood fist (and built in weapon) with a frag cannon. It never specifies which arm and built-in weapon. I take that to mean you can load them out with any of the underslung weapons options.

for the LIB either the one that gives him extra attacks or blood lance is always a good option.
it would be more benificial to put them in there and go second.

cool on the frag thing.

Check out my dante list and tell me what you think.

BA 2k is the list name.

Yeah, I will most likely go with the Jump power and shield. that will make him able to use both per turn since shield is cast in the opponents shooting phase.

I will jump over and take a peak at your Dante list. I am not a huge fan of dante since 6e nerfed his axe to I1.

hehe it does suck that they nerfed it but he is definatly still worth taking becaue
1)(the big one) nerfs the enemies warlord
2)drops in and pops their heavy tanks
3)sanguinary gaurd as troops.(with hit and run with dante in there).

The first two are worth it alone. The third just sweetens the deal.

Can you type in the rules for taking the frag cannons. I'm wondering if you can take two of them.

(my codex is back stateside)
