Allied Detachment
Callidus Assassin (145 pts)

Basically Scout everyone, charge the bikes, hit and run with mobile fire base. I'm a little afraid I don't have enough anti-tank, anti-monstrous creatures. Thoughts?

Do you think the Dev Squad would be better in a standard Rhino so they can shoot out of it?

yup...makes a mini tank

callidus is bunk, grav guns on non-relentless models is really iffy, powerswords are garbage and not taking the hunter's eye should be a criminal offense.

Drop everything that isn't a bike for bikes in the speartip or w/e and give the bikes grav guns. Also take a command squad for khan and the chaplain to hang with.

At the very least take the grav guns off of the tacticals and give them to the bikers. That takes it from an 18 inch threat range to 30 inches and doesn't punish you for repositioning.

Makes sense.

Would swapping the chaplain for a librarian w/ hunters eye in the razorback with the Dev's make more sense?

Add more grav-guns to the command squad. It's got Ignores Cover, it can use them best.

Why mix weapons in the Dev Squad???

Originally the thought was this would be the only real heavy firepower so I wanted to give options. Since I've changed things around and added a second landspeeder and a stormtalon both with missiles it might be less important. I could easily drop the ML and add grav-guns to the command squad as suggested.
