I will have my hands full with my Guard...but we all need a change. My Sallies are also getting a little boring (its the only playable army I have right now), and I wanted something slightly different. I love the DA fluff, but not so much their rules. I thought about making the Angels Of Redemption Successor, using the Traits system. I am also hoping to challenge my painting skills (as Guard are speed-painted, and my Sallies are too mono-colour). What do you guys rekon about this then? I think its mobile, hard-hitting and can take on virtually anything (I hope). Minor Divergence Chapter. Traits: Wise Advantage: Honour your Wargear Disadvantage: We Stand Alone HQ Chapter Librarian: Epistolary w/ Force Weapon, Plasma Pistol, Psychic Hood, Familiar, Terminator Honours, Krak Grenades, Storm of the Emperor's Wrath & Might of Heroes. 172 Troops Tactical Squad 1: Sergeant w/ Bolt Pistol & CCW. 5 Marines w/ 3 Bolters, Plasma Gun & Plasma Cannon. 120 Tactical Squad 2: Sergeant w/ Bolt Pistol & CCW. 5 Marines w/ 3 Bolters, Plasma Gun & Plasma Cannon. 120 Tactical Squad 3: Sergeant w/ Bolt Pistol & CCW. 5 Marines w/ 3 Bolters, Plasma Gun & Plasma Cannon. 120 Fast Attack Attack Bike Squadron 1: 2 Attack Bikes w/ 2 Twin-Linked Bolters & 2 Heavy Bolters. 100 Attack Bike Squadron 2: 2 Attack Bikes w/ 2 Twin-Linked Bolters & 2 Heavy Bolters. 100 Attack Bike Squadron 3: 2 Attack Bikes w/ 2 Twin-Linked Bolters & 2 Heavy Bolters. 100 Heavy Support Devastator Squad: Sergeant w/ Bolt Pistol & CCW. 5 Marines w/ 2 Bolters, 3 Missile Launchers & Tank Hunters. 168 1000 I know the Libby is VERY expensive, but its an I6 Combat Powerhouse (hopefully). The Tacticals make a line at the front edge of the DZ. The Devastators are behind them, in a good firing position. The Libby is used too counter-charge things approaching my lines. The Attack Bikes race off and harry the enemy, using their speed to avoid being charged. I have firepower, staying power, anti-horde, andti-MEQ and anti-tank firepower, and a strong counter-charging HQ. So - what do you rekon? Ps, sorry for length.
