Would love to see the opinion of the dakkanauts for these lists.

Interesting. My only concern is you have so so many points in the deathstar and as with all death stars they can only reall shoot 1 thing a turn.

What if you get blobed by guardsmen or what not and you basically dont get to do much with them?

I like the first list alot more than the second. I personally wouldnt even use the lotd but thats up to you. I would turn them into 2 or preferably three storm talons. You could turn 1 10 man unit into 5 scouts and use the extra points to get the third.


How about:

HQ
Marnues Calgar 275 pts

Tiggy 165 pts

Fast Attack

3x storm talon with skyhammer missiles 405

troops
3x-10 man tacs in rhinos w/ meltagun 185 pts (add combi weapons on vets and/or add heavy weapons to units) You can always combt squad to shoot heavy weapons and move others in rhinos.

1x- 5 scouts with sniper and missile launcher (check thes points as I dont have book with me.)

Heavy
6-man Centurion w/ grav cannon/amp, hurricane bolters and sarg with omniscope. 500 pts.

You should be around 2000 but you need to play with points on tacticals to get there.

I'll try it out.

Also, the unit can shoot at two different targets with sarge having split fire.

Now, my reasoning for LoTD is ignore cover s7 ap 2 capabilities.

Great for getting at serpents (rear armor of course) and bikes.

The talons has more shots (good for serpents) can also be great anti air therefore protecting your other units.

Also remember the assualt cannon on a talon has 360 as its a turret so you can fly past serpents and shoot rear armor!

I guy split fire is not as effective as you think.

I used them this past weekend at a gt. That split fire in two different games made well over their points back . ( granted was using only three guys and missles instead of hurricane bolters)

Against nids, brought down two flyrants.

Against taudar, murdered riptide and slaughtered 75% of a broadside team.

Granted perhaps lucky rolls

One thing I noticed, especially against nids is that I wish I had the choice to just fail leadership.
