We only play 500ish points games and only use Power Levels to make it easy to swap for options.
The enemy lists my son will face are the following Patrol detachments:
-Marines will always have a Razorback and a Dreadnoughts + 5 Tactical Marines and a Bike Captain
-
CSM will often have 3 Obliterators, 5 Raptors, 5
CSM and a Bike Lord
-Eldar will have 10 Gaurdians, a War Walker, 1 tank (Falcon most likely) and a Skyrunner Autarch.
We do not uses attributes, chapter tactics, legion rules, etc. And only use the reroll stratagem.
So given all that, which is the best option for 3 Destroyers?
A) 2 Regular Destroyers + 1 Heavy in the same unit = 9 Power Level - Overlord would be the
HQ for this option at 7PL = 16PL
B) a unit of 2 Heavy Destroyers + Destroyer Lord as
HQ = 8PL + 8PL = 16PL
With either option I will have 10 Immortals and 3 Scarabs for a total of 26PL army.
-----------------------------------------------------
I like option A because it gives a bigger Destroyer unit to maximize
RP rolls. The Overlord's ability is also really good to buff the Immortals, or even the Destroyer's shooting
I like option B because it gives me 2 Heavy gauss cannons that will be needed to kill the vehicles or Obliterators of the above lists, plus a decently fast beatstick
HQ similar to the other lists
In either case, I'll be magnetizing the Destroyers to be either option, but I wanted to see what you guys thought was best.
