Hi all,

I know I’m late to the party but I’ve finally gotten around to getting into 7th edition. At the moment I plan on running a mech list with some Militarum Tempestus allies in the form of the hellrain brigade. the list is as followed

Hq
Tank commander- Vanquisher, Lascannon
Executioner 330pts

Troops
Vets- 2x plasma, Chimera (multi laser, heavy Bolter) -155pts
Vets- 2x Plasma, Taurox- 140pts
Vets- 2x Melta, Taurox-130pts

Fast attack
Hellhound- Multi-melta- 135pts
Vendetta

Heavy Support
Wyvern- 65pts

Allies
Hellrain brigade
Commisar-25pts (will go with either the Scion command squad or the vets in the chimera)
Militarum Tempestus Command- 4xhot shot volley guns- 125pts (will start the game in the Taurox Prime)
Militarum Tempestus Scions- 2x melta, Plasma pistol- 105pts
Taurox Prime- Taurox battle cannon, autocannon-85pts

1500pts

That’s a list I quickly put together which I think shouldn’t do to bad At this stage I only really play semi-competitively against with my main opponents being Necrons and CSM, but I plan on having a go at some tournaments later down the track, so I’d appreciate any and all feedback

Thanks, Orik

First thought is that Wyverns need a friend to be truly effective, freeing up those points will be the issue however.

I'd drop the Executioner personally, take an eradicator with Plasma sponsons instead. You'll get one less Plasma shot with it but gain the Eradicator cannon that has ignore cover (If you drop Wyvern then this can give you horde killing ignores cover) and it is five points less! Top tip, that and I suck at gets hot.

If you do drop the Wyvern then give the vets Grenadiers, they'll need it to close in if you're playing for Objectives as any opponent worth their salt when playing Guard will put Objectives in the open!

Also, I'd maybe drop the vet squad in the Chimera and replace with a company command squad, still give them the plasma though, you lose some regular lasguns but gain orders! Also, infantry can use some of the better warlord traits and you then have the options of a naval commander who can help get in that Vendetta / deep striking scions or an astropath! Don't the Master Of Ordnance in smaller points games unless you are playing a big ass horde, you will miss.
