Hi,

I wanted to try out a mixed army with 1 Detachment Militarum Tempestus dropping in and 1 Detachment Imperial Guard mechanized infantry backed up with artillery and air support.

Detachment 1: Militarum Tempestus Battalion Detachment

HQ 1
Tempestor Prime
- Command Rod

HQ 2
Tempestor Prime
- Command Rod

Elites 1
MT Command Squad
- Platoon Standard
- Medi-pack
- 2 plasmaguns

Elites 2
MT Command Squad
- 4 Plasmaguns

Troop 1 - 3
Tempestus Scions (10x)
- 4 plasmaguns
________________

Detachment 2: Imperial Guard Battalion Detachment

HQ 1
Company Commander

HQ 2
Lord Commissar
- Power Maul
- boltgun

Elites 1
Command Squad
- Vox-Caster

Elites 2
Command Squad
-4 plasmaguns

Elites 3
Master of Ordnance

Elites 4
Officer of the Fleet

Troops 1 - 3
Infantry Squad (10x)
- Vox-caster
- grenade launcher

Dedicated Transport 1-4
Chimera


Fast Attack 1
Rough Riders (5+)
- Flamer

Heavy Support
Basilisk

Flyers
Valkyrie
- Lascannon
- 2 multiple rocket pods
- 2 heavy bolters

____________________________

The Militarum Tempestus detachment would drop in for heavy plasmagun fire with the re-roll from orders.

On the other side the mechanized infantry would advance with 3 squads in Chimeras and a Company Commander with 2 Command Squads, the Lord Commissar and the Officer of the Fleet for buffs and target acquisition in the fourth Chimera.

The Valkyrie can be buffed with the Officer of the Fleet and the Master of Ordnance would stay back with the Basilisk and will provide better artillery support and artillery barrage on high value targets.

Rough Riders can provide some cover on the flanks.

Thank you for your suggestions in advance!

How exactly do you intend to control objectives?

How would you deal with 3 imperial knights or 8 Mawlocs?

Chimeras should be able to move around fast enough to help with objectives in my table half and the tempestus can drop in for support and taking hostile objectives. But maybe I invest in some more infantry running around without the chimeras. Or some heavy weapons teams. Thank you for the Input.

About the other question: I don't play comp and my friends don't pull stuff like this without telling it before. No one wants to be That Guy.

Well you should be ok, invest in Pask if you have any problems. The more your opponent wastes his time in shooting your big tanks the better chance you have at jumping on objectives in the last turn.

Nice thought!

If I drop some of the units, I could bring in Pask maybe with Plasma if there is something that doesn´t want to die. Thanks!
