After a few weeks at 500 points in my escalation league, I am excited to get our bump up to 1,000 points. This is how I am looking to expand my mechanized force. Thoughts? I am lagging behind on points for the league primarily because I cannot make a game every week. But the games I have played, I've won 3 out of 4.

I feel like this list has enough anti-armor should I get a mech list or have a knight show up this week (this is the first week detachments beyond a patrol are allowed). However, I feel like I have enough bullets heading down range that I can deal with hordes as well. With the new CP, this detachment will arrive with 9 command points minus one for the Kurov Aquila.

Battalion - Tempestus Scions
HQ
Tempestor Prime (should I spend the 2 CP to give this guy a tactical auto-reliquary of Tiberius? out of points for a command rod.)
Tempestor Prime

Troops
Militarum Tempestus Scions - Plasma Pistol, 2x Hotshot Volley Gun
Militarum Tempestus Scions - Plasma Pistol, 2x Plasma Gun

Special Weapons Squad - 3x Plasma Gun

Heavy Support

Dedicated Transport
Gryphonne Pattern Chimera - Twin Heavy Bolter, heavy bolter
Gryphonne Pattern Chimera - Twin Heavy Bolter, heavy bolter

My thought would be to replace the Taurox Prime with a regular Taurox to save the points, and perhaps pay for those sponsons.

Other than that it looks great man!

I've fought in this endless hateful war for eight months now, night and day. In that time I've aged a decade. My hair has turned grey, nearly all my squad have died, and I doubt I'll ever smile again. I've fought next to heroes and strangled men in their sleep. But I'm still alive and by the Emperor I plan to stay that way. - Acting-Captain Haines,47th Armageddon Steel Legion

Keep the Prime!

Anyway, it's only 1 command point for a reliquary, but really I'd drop one plasmagun for two command rods.

if i'm not mistaken, can't you only take two of the special weapon squads? or are you not using the beta rules?

That's right we are at 1000 points so only 0-2. Forgot about the new rule. Thanks for the catch.

can you get a group of veterans for roughly the same cost? or maybe take a commissar and use the point left over to add sponsons and more special weapons?

That's not even "beta rules" it's "suggestions for tournaments."

Organized events... Which this is. Cutting that 45 points. Hard to replace with another 45 points of awesome.
