Hi friends,
Looking to get back into 40K after a long hiatus and have a fun punchy list to start off with. How is this loadout?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ FACTION KEYWORD: Imperium - Astra Militarum
+ DETACHMENT: Combined Arms (Lethal Hits)
+ TOTAL ARMY POINTS: 995pts
+
+ WARLORD: Cadian Castellan
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[HQ]
Rogal Dorn Tank commander (Warlord)
-Oppressor with coaxial AC, Pulveriser, 2x Meltaguns, 2x Multi-meltas
-Enhancement: Drill Commander
Cadian Command Squad (5 men)
-Cadian Commander: Powerfist, Plasma pistol
-Master vox, Medi-pack, Plasma gun, Regimental Standard
-Enhancement: Grand Strategist
[Battleline]
Cadian Shock Troops (10 men) (attached to Command Squad)
-Vox-caster, Grenade launcher, Plasma gun
-Sergeant's autogun
Cadian Shock Troops (10 men)
-Vox-caster, Grenade launcher, Plasma gun
-Sergeant's autogun
Cadian Shock Troops (10 men)
-Vox-caster, Grenade launcher, Plasma gun
-Sergeant's autogun
Cadian Shock Troops (10 men)
-Vox-caster, Grenade launcher, Plasma gun
-Sergeant's autogun
[Elites]
Kasrkin (10 men)
-Sergeant: Power weapon, Plasma pistol
-Vox-caster, x2 Meltaguns, 2x Plasma guns
[Heavy Support]
Leman Russ Exterminator
-Hunter-killer missile, Lascannon, 2x Multi-meltas, Heavy stubber
[Transports]
Taurox (Kasrkin taxi)
-Twin autocannon, Storm bolter
I noticed that points costs seem a bit higher in this edition, but I'm happy that Exterminators are a mainline Guard thing now. The plan is to put Kasrkins and Rough Riders into reserve and try and control objectives with the shock troops and other Taurox, provided they survive.

When is deadly danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
And wave your hands and shout. |

In this edition (10th) you need some Anti-Tank abilities, your Exterminators won't be enough.
I suggest dropping the second Taurox for some heavier weapons.

Also, if you find some opponents with a lot of units with the FLY keyword, the Hydra is a must have.

What Enhancements are you thinking of using?

Needs more anti-tank.
In this edition you will face a decent amount of tanks, big monsters, and Knights.

That's good advise, I dropped a couple of units and moved things around to upgrade a Russ to a Rogal Dorn TC for the extra punch, and gave it Drill Commander with some leftover points. Also changed all sponsons to multimeltas.

That's a good callout, I upgraded one of the tanks with a bigger gun on it and added a Cadian squad as extra chaff (why are infantry squads so pricey this edition?). If I needed some more anti-tank, what should I aim for?

Something with high Str (12+ you want to wound the big stuff on at least a 4+ ), AP2+, & able to do 3+ damage/shot. Even better if it has multiple shots. So at the least, Lascannons.
I like Siege Cannon & Heavy Lascannon Artillary teams myself atm.
