There is a chance in this baby-Apoc event that friendly units will come in, thus the beacon.

... so you're all so impressed you didn't even want to comment...
or so horrified that you don't even know where to start at the train-wreck this list is?

Needing a little experienced review here ladies and gents. Thanks in advance.

for 2.5k I would just say that you seem kind of light on bodies. Especially if they other guys are going to be using super heavies your T5 isn't going to mean much. Just food for thought.

2 quick things about the Tacs. They cant have heavy flamers and how they keeping up with the rest of the list? If they are staying on home objectives, why the short range weaponary?

I knew that about Tacs, my AB software let me do it and I didn't even think about it. Tacs are riding in the SR (combat squaded) and the Centurions are gonna walk behind the bikes... try and hold midfield objectives with them.

Too true... I'm hoping that either scout moves or outflanking can close me in enough to pop some of the SH before the large blast D weapons open up. Tacs or maybe the HG with the CM will ride in the SR (so in reserves then). I'm toying with the idea of giving the pod to the tacticals instead. I don't think they'll be any Apoc Hordes (we're on a 30 minutes a player round pace timer), but hopefully speed will help. Our club matches are usually 2.5k, so I'm pretty used to the pace and sizes of forces... I'm hoping this will be fine.

Just think on this tho... If your opponent has the first turn you will only have 15 models on the board at 2500pts. I wouldn't need super heavies to kill that . I mean unless you are just going to hide them, at which point your scout moves are a mute point.

.

If my opponent goes first I'll outflank the bikes not scout them. I can have the talon escort a unit in, to improve my alpha, but yeah... Losing on turn one (either way) is gonna be something I need to take steps to avoid. I might need to ditch the command squad for two tacticals. I'm also toying with allying CF in instead (1 tactical, 1 sternguard, 1 devastator). I dunno.
