This was a come and get it silly list I wanted to try against a friend just to annoy. But figured I'd throw it up here and see what you all thought. As well as any suggestions on making it mean. The whole idea is everyone is hidden inside and on the battlements while tanks are hidden behind it.

I think you have to many flamers on your vets, I think plasma or melta is much better for the vets. If your opponent is getting within flamer range of a 10 man vet squad(technically 8 with heavy weapon team) then those vets are probably going to die the following turn.

Normally I love melta and plasma. Unfortunately in this list I would have to start removing things to put them in. 1 plasma equals all 3 flamer vets. I had figured it wouldn't hurt them as bad being hidden on/in the fortress. But would act more like a wall of flame to those who get to close.

That also limits the amount of lasgun shots that your squads will put out, and from my experience flamer overwatch doesnt really kill or do much.

Plus once your opponent gets that close grenades and enemy flamers will clear your buildings out fast.

That's a really good point. I think I'll pull all the flamers. It would free up a few points. Other then plasma and meltas any suggestions? I thought about tossing the void shield upgrade on the fortresses, maybe buying some bolters for a little extra punch.

I redid my list. Pulled the flamers off, even pulled off the plasmas I was going to put in. Used the points to take the inquisitor for pie plates to throw around. Was thinking to drop marbo in, shoot his demo charge, then target him with the orbital bombardment so it doesn't scatter and since he will die on my opponents turn anyways. Thoughts?

Id stick to the first list, take out a vet squad, use the points to equip plasmas/meltas accordingly, just my 2 cent.
