Hi all, I've got a game tonight against my mate's Ad Mech (graia?) and IK(raven). I've not been having much luck against him recently and got totally annihilated after my last battle with him. Granted I acknowledge a lot of my mistakes in my last few games that have cost me big. In an attempt to rectify this after our last game we sat and had a chat about my army and have tried a few change's.
Before I had pretty much an all out assault based list with load's of tooled up
DC and
SG built around Astorath and Lemartes and
SG ancient with a core of primaris intercessors. Needless to say that in the shooting game 8th is the list's I tried did not work well at all.
He has double battalion which also has 2 kastellan robot's, 2 dune crawler's, 2 Armiger warglaives and a Dominus Valliant?, the one with the spear and flamer. We have only just gone to 2k with these game's so he can get his knight used because it is a lovely model.
So here we are with a new combined arms type force now including a bit of a gunline, and a bit less assault, based around the same core. My mate suggested that I had been relying too much on the relic banner and it was forcing me in to a clump all the time so I've decided to drop it for a few games in order to try and see who it's best going along with instead of trying to cram as much into the
FnP aura as I could.
It's a battalion and a vanguard detachment giving 9
VP's. I'm not sure on warlord yet. Or if this is enough
AT to take on quite a few tank's and knight's.

So currently I'm aiming for the
dev's and priest sitting on a home objective or in cover with maybe a squad of intercessors providing support along with the
LC RB. The Libby dread and the remaining intercessor's advancing up along with the other
RB to provide some firepower. The rest go in reserve and the SR act's a a fast tank and really that's about it for a basic game plan.
Any suggestion's, hint's, observation's and suggested changes would be very much appreciated. Particularly on warlord as I'm not keen on Slambo being
WL. I'm thinking the priest or the Dread? And if so what
WL trait would anyone suggest for either? Another couple of question's...
Should I put a
HB in the
dev's? I've not had any luck with that strat.
Also should I reduce the Intercessor's and
dev's back to 5 and have more
SG?
Anyone tried the apothecary. My mate doesn't have one and is really wanting to see one used?
Cheers, K
