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
Militarum Tempestus Scions - Plasma Pistol, 2x Plasma Gun
Elites
Tempestus Command Squad - 4x Hotshot Volley Guns
Transport
Taurox Prime - Storm Bolter, Taurox Gatling Cannons, Two Hot-Shot Volley Guns
========================================================
Vanguard Detachment - Tallarn
HQ
Company Commander - Warlord - Kurov's Aquilla, Grand Strategist (with the increase in command points for brigade and battalions, I am expecting to see more battalions this week, and this combo will be even better!)
Elites
Special Weapons Squad - 3x Plasma Gun
Special Weapons Squad - 3x Plasma Gun
Special Weapons Squad - 3x Plasma Gun
Heavy Support
Leman Russ Conqueror - heavy bolter (love this tank, it almost always does good work with that nice 75% accuracy on the main cannon within 24 inches, ran out of points for sponsons)
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. Automatically Appended Next Post: Hard to finish off the vanguard detachment and keep my Russ in there
