Look forward to thoughts. I ran with Vanilla Combat tactics the day until the new book, and Calgar is the only way with his god of war to retain what I loved of the rule.

44 views, and no thoughts? hmmmmmm.

Ok I'll answer. And btw, 45 views isn't too much and wouldn't you rather have 1 good response for every 100 views than 10 responses for every 100 views but they were poorly constructed and not knowledgeable? I know I would.

I like list one, however It's not giving me that pop with the DP assault. I prefer All or Nothing DP Lists or Drop Pod w/ Bikes Coming Up. If you'd like help with THOSE lists, I'd be happy to help. Just ask. - Feasible

List one is the strongest IMHO. However I'm with Feasible, if your going drop, go big or go home, or add in some bike action just to speed things up

Sorry if I sounded like 44 views is alot, although yes I would like good feed back that is knowledgeable.

I would love to go full drop pod in, but budget is a concern and I only own three drop-pods.

I usually run three Thunderfires to capitilize on the sternguard popping tanks, but with them being barrage was just icing on the cake. I figured though to change one to a dev sqaud to capitilize on four twin-linked, ignore cover plasma cannons.

I made the Calgar list to use combat tactics, I loved that rule in the previous book (granted I used vanilla No SC) and it is the only way to keep it.

I also saw the idea of centurions, although they lack in range I figured a tigerius with gate of infinity would help them greatly, and since he can reroll for his powers he has a good chance of getting it.
