This looks very solid. What is the default armament on the ironclad, is it heavy flamer?

Who will Vulkan drop in with?


Cheers,

Vulkan would be going with the sternguard

As for the Ironclad is set up for storm bolter and melta gun. I'd like to switch the bolter for flamer, but right now I'm at 1248, and the upgrade is 10pts.

Makes sense. The list is pretty tight, and you have plenty of flames elsewhere. I like it.

I would exchange the Flamer and Heavy Flamer on the LotD for a plasma and Plasma cannon. This is because the Plasma guns and cannons that they take also ignore cover, and LotD don't benefit from chapter tactics anyway. Just a small suggestion.

Doing that I'd be able to bump the HF to the PC, but I'd have to take away the special weapon all together to make up the points. This is a bad suggestion, and I agree the PC will pry do more work then the heavy flamer, but what would you suggest nixing for the plasma, or melta?

A few probs w/ this list

A. Why the LSS w/ Sniper Scouts?
B. LoTD should never have Flamers. THey already ignore cover. Give thena Plasma Cannon and Plasma Gun. Maybe even a Combi Grav.
C. I'd add a HF to the Ironclad. THats just personal preference.

A. Because the LSS will get blown up (or atleast knocked down) then you have scouts in rough terrain with sniper rifles. (plus thats what I have modeled).

B. I agree. Which is why I was changing to the plasma cannon, plus asking what to cut for points to add a regular plasma.

C. Still trying to find points to upgrade to the flamer.

Why even bring a LSS if you're not using Sniper Scouts?

Lol it awnsers all your problems,

Drop Lss and take Hf on ironclad, PC and PG on LotD, and combi wepaons with the tact marines.

@Arbiter I like where your heads at. I think the fact that I just bought the Lss has made me want to use, when really I think the points would be better spent as the HF and plasma on the LofD.

so prob a dumb question but im kinda new what starts on the board to make this list okay with the current rules?

Drop pods don't count as things in reserve.
