Hi,

I am trying to make a competitive TAC list with GK.
Due to the cost of flyer defence on GK (storm is nice but expensive) i wanted to try something different with IG allies.
So here it goes :

Main detachment : GK
Coteaz
10 GKSS : 2 psycanon, psy amo
10 GKSS : 2 psycanon, psy amo
10 GKSS : 2 psycanon, psy amo
DK : teleporteur, heavy incinerator
DK : teleporteur, heavy incinerator

Allied detachment : IG
Command squad : 4 plasma
Marbo
Veteran squad : 3 plasma
Squadron of 2 vendetta
Manticore

The idea is to have the veteran and Command squad in the vendetta, one GKSS squad defending the home objective while defending the Manticore from teleporting units or drop pods (with Coteaz maybe added there)
The two other GKSS, and the 2 DK advance.
By turn 2 i potentially have Marbo, the 2 vendetta arriving with their units as well as the 2 DK ready to charge with the 2 GKSS in fire range.

I would have liked to add two chimera to the veterans and command squad to load the GKSS but did not have the points for it.

Hopefully this list can take care of the following :
- flyers : 2 vendetta will be nice for this
- hordes : the manticore and the 2 heavy incinerator can thin it down well.
- Monstrous creatures : the GKSS usually dont have much of an issue there with the Nemesis weapons
- Offensive armies : i can bunker down with nice counter attacks units
- dropping armies : with GK again its not really an issue
- Defensive armies (TAU, IG..) : the manticore and the many fast moving units (DK, vendetta, marbo) can hopefully be a bother.

Do i have anything really missing there?
I would love to put hammers and a hallberd on justicars in my GKSS but am really tight on points.

Mainly i want to be able to take care of TAU gunlines, i know they do well against flyers but with the number of threats coming turn 2 will they really cope with it all?

Thanks for the feedbacks guys.
