I was inspired by the RDA Army in Avatar for this list, could someone review it and see how viable it would be? The idea is airborne assaults with Armored Sentinels providing ground support. Drop in and take objectives, then fly around supporting the infantry while sentinels provide fast responses to enemy movements.

I love the theme. However I can't help but feel that having half your points tied up in 3 Valkyries is going to seriously disadvantage you. The 3 Infantry Squads aren't going to last long with the amount of anti infantry firepower the opposing 1,000 point army will bring.

I'd love to see something like this on the table top, and it might perform OK, I just feel like it won't.

Perhaps on a similar theme you could bring Militarum Tempestus and have them drop in without the need to spend a load of points on Valkyries?

If you don't own all these models already I would definitely play some games with proxies before committing too much to it.

Thanks. Yeah it seems like it would be a fun theme army but may not be the best performance wise. I’m definitely gonna proxy a few games or TTS it before buying.
