any thoughts on this as well? the only thing im concerned about is antitank firepower! though i have plenty of plasma and melta i only have 2 lascannons (maybe three if other solutions work) so will the ACs be enough to have that covered?

also have considered dropping the smokes on hellhound, searchlights on snetinel and possibly extra armour on the 2 russes to allow me to upgrade the third unit to AC/plas mix and allow for one of the other sentinels to be upgraded to a lascannon sentinel!

also please bear in mind my main opponents will be kroot mercs, space marines and tau. hopefully progressing in to city fight with this lot but not sure yet

any help would be great, also ideas for making it a 1750 and 2k list would be great!

cheers

any help folks? please wanna get the list sorted before i start the building blog
cheers

i agree, you need more antitank, for sure.

you could drop a sent. and use the points to upgrade

the line squad.

by upgrade the line sqaud what do you mean?
im at a loss as to how to up grade as im looking to keep this like an =I= rapid response force and still be fairly "hard" i thought autocannons were ok againts armour? whats the highest armour they can damage?

upgrade from autocannons to lascannons

i did think about that but id have to start losing bodies. i plan on adding a second platoon for 1750 games so i think thay will get lascannons. also thinking of in 1750/2000 point games making the storm troopers in to =I= troopers (which might make em slightly cheaper iirc) and giving them rhinos! would that work?
cheers
