This is more or less my fun "fluffy" list. It comes out to 1999pts exactly. I mount the tac squads into the storm ravens with the master of the forge and techmarines. I also have the scout squads deep strike in with the land speeders. Anyone have any thoughts on it?

Wouldn't you auto lose since no models turn 1 since everything is in reserve and can't come in until turn 2 at the earliest?

I have been under the assumption that units that are required to start in reserve dont count for the 50%? Ex the ravens and talons wouldnt count? Im not positive on that side but thats how ive played against friends. I ment to say the scouts come in on the land speeders not deep strike also* .

I only play this list with friends too. Its never been brought to a tournament.

Units that must start in reserve (and anything placed in them) don’t count for the 50%. So one of the scout units would need to start on the table.

While the no units equals a loss rules checks at the end of the game turn, not player turn, this kind of list is still very risky. You are going to have one or two LSS/scout units on the table for that first turn, and they are not that hard to kill. If you want to do a null deployment list, I’d recommend adding some drop pods, at least 3. You can take some of the tacticals out of the ravens, and just fly them empty (or with scouts)

Alright Nev, I see the what you mean and i looked through my models to see what i had. I came up with an alternative list to the first one *the guns on the stormtalons and the bikes can all be changed, their magnitized*
