No comments. Here's a tweak with better AA and artillery.

I prefer the 2nd list. Extra arty and AA is a much better choice than a dreadnought.

I like this one more. You can have the Devastators man the Quad-gun for maximum flyer pain.

I agree. 8 S7 Skyfire shots with Tank Hunter (4 of those twin linked at BS5) should clear out the skies.

I like the feel of the list. Lots of artillery and heavy weapons. Seems representative the IF style. Hopefully it plays well.

If I switched the Thunderfire to Whirlwinds, I'd have 70 points to play with. Are TFCs that much better? Or could I put those points to better use?

Well, the only thing the whirlwind is better at is denying armor saves. I like the whirlwind more because of that.

I agree. Being able to ripe out Fire Warriors in the open with no save seems very rewarding to me. I think the range and higher strength of the TFC can make it more versatile - but for 35 extra points over the WW each? I have serious doubts, though I know the TFC is all the rage right now.

The question is now what to spend 70 points on?

One of the major benefits of the TFC over the WW is the Techmarine you get included with it. For 35 points you're getting an extra special character on the table with a 2+ save, good BS, multiple weapons options, the ability to repair vehicles AND bolster ruins! That's why the TFC is all the rage. Multiple templates with multiple firing modes AND a 35 point Techmarine combined.
