Devs in bastions are all pretty much bs5 due to the ammo dumps, which means between them they put out 6 bs5 and 2 bs9 (due to signum) lascannon shots which are tank hunting. The third bastion puts out 3 st7 ap2 blasts and a large st7 ap2 blast (on the condition of passing the psychic test). All bastions are practically av14 stationary vehicles.
Coatez is there to help with scoring.
Acolytes stay in landraiders until late game for objectives. Landraiders put out a silly amout of firepower with psybolts (6 to 12 st5 ap4 tl, 4 st7 rending tl and a mm). Multimeltas will fire with potms at any vehicles the devs fail to pop.
Sniper scouts start behind adl so will get a 2+ cover save.
The other scouts start in the raven. Late game objective grab.
Raven and talons are for AA, AT, antitroop and hunt backfield artillery.
To get at my scoring the opponent needs to destroy 2 landraiders, a bastion, a raven, what is in each of them and 5 scouts with a possible 2+ cover.
5 av14's, and 3 flyers. All of which have extremely good firepower. Decent tough manoeuvrability with 2 raiders and the flyers.
But what should I do with my libby? He seems like an aimless piece.

Also, does 'I'm expecting you' work from a bastion or not?

Am I missing something? Bastions cannot be killed? What is this rule?

They can be killed. They just have no hull points. Damage on the fortification table instead has a chanve of reducing av.

Ahh no I misread! Just checked on the strongpoint assault data slate. Turns out this applies to pens so I assume glances work the same with hull points as well as pens stripping hull points. Darn it. Oh well - it only weakens the list slightly...
Serves me right for taking another thread at face value and just skimming the text!

So disregard the comments about unlimited hull points - they dont need to be one shotted to die. But if you could still consider the rest that would be great :-).

I'll edit ^

I like this this as a whole, though if this is DFOC (because its 2k) you need another Hq+2 troops.

Note. Thank you for clearing that up, I though I wasn't understanding the stronghold book.

An imperial strongpoint lets me take 3 bastions and a compulsory ADL as a single fortification so this force fits into a single org slot :-).
