Im not sure if you were planning on it but the PCS riding in a flyer to get dropped off late game is a pretty decent objective clearer/grabber.

Heavy weapon squads are also very fragile and able to be destroyed very easily. You dont have a defense line for them to hide behind to give them some cover. The mortars can hide behind stuff so you dont have to worry about them but I will guarantee that the lascannons will get picked off fast. I would drop them and make the valkyrie become a vendetta. Then upgrade some of those melta vets into plasma

Also since you are only using 2 heavy slots I would put each of the griffons into each of their owns squadrons So you could fire at separate targets.

PCS or CCS in the flyer?

Kind of stuck with the Valkyrie for now (WYSIWYG tournie), but I like the idea for future use.
Dropping the lascannon HWS, is probably a good move. that should let me upgrade to plasma.

Good call on the griffons, I completely missed that.

Thanks?

Ah gotcha, yea if your stuck with WYSIWYG then your stuck with it. If you get extra lascannons just stick 2 together and magnetize them to the under wings.

Also I was talking about the PCS. They can perform different tasks, either put them in a flyer and have them drop off late game to clear an objective or have them stay on the ground and use them as a counter charge unit for your infantry squads. An enemy unit charges and wipes out a 10 man squad then these guys spring forward and burnanate the crap out of them. Either way works.

Also for your CCS if you put them in a flyer just think if it gets shot down from interceptor or sky fire you are pretty much going to lose them really quickly. I would maybe recommend them staying in a chimera.

I find Icarus lascannon to be better then the quadgun because I would prefer 1 s9 ap2 shot rather than 4 s7 ap4 shots. That also gives you some upgrade points left. However, if you don't have a Icarus lascannon you are kinda' screwed on that one.

If you come across wave serpents that 1 s9 ap2 shot will only strip 1 hull point rather then possibly stripping more, thats the same for other flyers, if you dont blow them up you are doing only 1 hull point at most if you dont blow them up. Also

Ran out of plasma troops that's why 3rd vet squad has a melta and 2 plasma.

Had to take out the aegis defense line (Didn't arrive yet)

Please let me know what I can do better!

I would consider swapping one of the plasma vets to all melta vets. with the new space marines there will probably be a lot of marine lists that will drop a dreadnought turn one which will try to melt you demolisher and if that happens your strongest anti tank is gone. The walker will just walk through everything else. Especially if its an ironclad with that av13 armor.
