I would like to hear some valid reasons which type of IG ally detatchement would be better for BA, CSM and Daemons main detatchements? I have decided on a small 500pts IG force to solve my claiming troops choise problem once and for all. I have a half shooty NMs CSM army, assaulty BA, and flamer/screamer spam daemons. Also what kind of loadout on weapons should my IG units take?

Which is good, but could be better. Make it TWO Vendettas, drop carapace armor, and upgrade the HQ to a melta/plasma CCS in the second Vendetta.


The only problem with this approach is that the OP needs objective holders not suicidal melta/plasma delivery, so that means a platoon. CCS with whatever, flamer PCS in a Vendetta, a couple squads with melta/plasma and LCs, and some LC Sabre guns. Plenty of durable wounds to hold "home" objectives, a scoring unit riding in the best flyer in the game, and some decent general firepower combined with one of the best AA units in the game. And if that's not enough you can easily add more wounds to the blob/Sabre guns/HWS/etc for even more redundancy without increasing point costs too much.
