Hi,

Still trying to make a correct TAC list with GK without any allies.
So i am turning to the great dakka community for help.

Here is what i was thinking :

Coteaz
5 GKSS, psycanon, razorback with psy amo
5 GKSS, psycanon, razorback with psy amo
5 GKSS, psycanon, razorback with psy amo
5 GKSS, psycanon, razorback with psy amo
5 GKSS, psycanon, razorback with psy amo
5 GKSS, psycanon, razorback with psy amo
DK, teleporter, incinerator
DK, teleporter, incinerator
10 Interceptor, 2 incinerators, psy amo
5 Interceptor, incinerator

So 2 DK and 15 Interceptor (5 flamer templates) can shunt T1 to disminish non mech gunlines (TAU, some IG)
In the meanwhile i have 6 troops in razorback that can be quite mobile and pack some punch (Coteaz goes in one of the razorbacks).
For AA i dont have much but as long as the troops stay in the razorbacks, even hellchickens should not be too problematic, and with my 6 TL HB S6, i can probably manage a few fliers as i can get behind them to shoot at their backdoor

Razorback spam won't win you any friends but it can work. There's not really much to say on it. Pray you don't meet anyone with lots of AV14 or it's gonna be painful as your Razors quickly become useless. Personally I'd drop two squads and add 2 Psyfleman dreads, one will have to be a venerable, but that's just me.

The DKs can deal with AV14 pretty easily. Kind of a boring list, but should work well.

I agree the list is not fun, i was looking more for a competitive one without allies as GK then as something fun (i do that at my club^^)

I have looked at Interceptors for my own WIP Draigowing and they seem very pricey for the points. They can also get taken down with a good salvo or two. Maybe add a third Dreadknight or maybe a few Solodins to get linebreaker or be a PITA?

They are a little pricey, but they are very good at one thing specifically: Getting across the board. Now, DKs with a teleporter is just as good at that, but my favorite use for Interceptors is to give them a psycannon and psybolts, shunt them behind vehicles with rear AV10 (which is most vehicles) and glance them to death.
That's 160 points vs the 240 of a DK that probably won't be able to kill a vehicle till the next turn.

The Dreadknight is 205 with a teleporter and 240 is with heavy psycannon,which costs the most.

A min unit of Interceptors won't last very long at all and giving psybolt ammo to a unit of five isn't cost effective; it's costing 5 points per model to gain +1 strength to shooting weapons.

DK with Heavy Psycannon is 250.
I'm just speaking from experience. They work well for me.

I know. What I mean is you are chosing the most expensive setup to make the point. Common setup is the incinerator which is 235. I know it is only 5 points, but that margin shrinks a little.

Oh, dang, my bad. I had it in my head that the Heavy Incinerator was 35 points. Serves me right to trust my memory.

You are quite right, as long as i have some FA spots available, a DK will probably be better then a squad of interceptors (not quite the same firepower though...)

So if i take out the big interceptor squad that removes 320 pts, 235 for the DK and i have 85 pts left, i could take out the small interceptor squad as well and add a vindicare with icarius.
So i put the Aegis around mid field and T1 i bring all my guys behind it....

It would then look like :

Coteaz

Vindicare assassin

5*GKSS + psycanon, psyback
5*GKSS + psycanon, psyback
5*GKSS + psycanon, psyback
5*GKSS + psycanon, psyback
5*GKSS + psycanon, psyback
5*GKSS + psycanon, psyback

DK : teleporter and heavy incinerator
DK : teleporter and heavy incinerator
DK : teleporter and heavy incinerator

Aegis defense line with icarius lascanon

Do you feel that would be better?
