There's a RTT coming. 1850. All of GWs shenanigans will be allowed. Like Eldar Revenant Titans. I don't own BaneBlades, IKs or any SuperHeavies, etc. So, this was what I could come up with, models that I own. In a goofy, "Let's try the mechanics out" game, the list defeated Orks & IG, eating a HellHammer and an Imperial Knight.

HQ
XV8 - Cmdr - Irid Armor, PENChip, Onager, dual FBs, VRT, NeuroSysJam, Drone Controler & x2 GDs

Elite
XV8 crew - one with the MSS/CCN & flamer, his two buds with 2 FBs, Cmdr joins 'em
XV8 crew - 3 dudes, each has 2 FBs
XV8 crew - 3 dudes, each has 2 FBs

Troops
10 Kroot with a dog
10 Kroot with a dog

HeavyS
3 XV88s - one Vre, 4 MDs, bonded, HRail Rifles (it is going to be Esc/Stronghold)

RailHead - BSF, DisPod, GDrones

Allies
Primaris Psyker
Vets with x3 MGs
a 2 Vendetta squadron, each with dual HBs (there are troops to kill after the big things are gone)

Void Shield 2extra Shields (bastion base)
Void Shield 2extra Shields (bastion base)
Prometheum Pipe (PVC sprinkler or something, gonna be 11.75 inches long)

1845

That's 18 Fusion Blasters. With the Prim-Psy giving Prescience to a team, 6 of them are going to be Twin-Linked. 3 TL-HRailrifles & one Railgun.

5 points left. A flamer on XV8s? Change the kroot to FWs & then pad? I like the kroot for the Outflank and Reserve that will keep them out of harm's way until the enemy SuperHs get smoked.

As far as that game went, the Imperial Knight's death throes took out an ork battle wagon, one XV8 and a few Broadside MDs which caused a failed Morale Check. The Cmdr's Crisis team ate the HellHammer in two salvos (only the Cmdr & buffer were left for a 2nd shot). If I had remembered the PENchip's Tank Hunters it would have died in one go. One Void Shied died altogether, the other had one Shield left. Game went to turn 6 in 2 hours.

I could switch out the 450 points of I.G. Vendetta squadron, Vets & Psy for Eldar, a WraithKnight, Swooping Hawks, and/or FireDs. And the DAs. The corresponding 3 Wave Serpents and, of course, a Jetbike farseer to help the Cmdr's crew.

Thoughts?

Small bump. I take it, that it's do-able?
