Thinking of running this tomorrow night, going to throw Lysander in with the Centurions in the Spartan. Don't like sending the other two tac squads on foot, but don't have Drop Pods ready for them which is where I want to go with my Fists.

How would you change this?

ok, so I say drop the vehicle. grab more cents. take 2 5 man - 6 man dev squads one with missiles the other with LC. another cent squad w/ LC. boom. so much hurt. spread out over so many units. also drop the power weapons on the Tac sargents, you don't really want them in melee (yes, I know fluff wise tac squads rape things in melee its saddening :/) and give them rhinos instead also combat squad them may be a good idea.

matter of fact, if you do the above, take heavy bolters as your HW. long range, cheap ( if not free cant recall) and effective with the IF CT, saves even more points.

I use the Spartan in my pre heresy Fists army and want to try it out in normal games, I have a 2nd centurion squad I need to assemble and was planning on fitting them with las cannons. When I get my other two drop pods together I might drop the Spartan, although then you run into range problems with the grav cannons. I think I might swap the two foot squads down to heavy bolters because it will take them awhile to get in melta range and the Spartan, Storm Raven and Devs should have already dealt with any AV 13+.

consider giving 2 of your tacs rhinos as well.

I want to but they give away first blood so easily. Couldn't hurt considering what I can do in the first turn.

If your drop podding in. You should always get 1st blood unless you go 2nd And he already has it. (Barring bad rolls)
