Army Notes

kharn and the 9 beserkers in the rhino (new to 8th ed, just assumed kharn can still deploy in a transport). Bulk of the force is 30 beserkers and 40 cultist. Will advance across the board as quickly as possible. the idea with the havocs is that they will act as a cleanup crew advancing with the beserkers and allowing them to leave combat with some covering fire if their numbers are dwindling or if they could better be allocated. not sure how i feel about them, but thats why im posting the list lol.

I was also thinking it could use a little more speed, maybe a deep strike unit or a bike squad?

Some deep strike would be good for sure .

Not checking all your points, but be aware rhino are 72 as they have a combi bolter to add on.

oh good lookin out. i though since it said it came with that in the wargear section i didnt have to include it. Does that mean a predetor would be 151 with an autocannon?

terminators deep strike, and chaos lord chills with the havocs to mitigate the super-charge tradeoff

I would consider dropping the Havocs for some Raptors or Talons - plasma guns just aren't good enough to justify the cost. If they're sitting at the back anyway, why not give them heavy weapons like missile launchers or heavy bolters instead?

i was thinkin the havocs would advance slowly and just give covering fire to the beserkers; allowing them to disengage if their numbers are dwindling or they could be better allocated

i havent used raptors or talon in the new edition. How do they fair? How would you kit them out?
