				<title>Alternate 5th edition army list - 1500 CSM</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Had a few games of 5th edition now and have realised that I need to change my list slightly. Plus, I have found a set of Termies so would like to try them out.<br /> <br /> Different to my normal list so any C&C appreciated. This will be for competitive play but I'm not looking for the gimpiest list ever.<br /> <br /> C Sorc, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(101);'>MoS</span>, Terminator Armour, Lash<br /> <br /> 6 termies, IoS, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(500);'>CF</span>, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(336);'>HF</span>, <br /> <br /> 10 Berserkers, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(5);'>ac</span> w/ p.weap<br /> 10 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSM</span>, 2 Plasmas, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(5);'>ac</span> w/ p.fist, rhino<br /> 8 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(634);'>PMs</span>, 2 plasmas, rhino<br /> <br /> Landraider (for berserkers)<br /> Vindicator w/ <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(262);'>DP</span><br /> Pred with <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(80);'>LC</span> turret and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(51);'>HB</span> sponsoons<br /> <br /> I usually always use a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(262);'>DP</span> but have realised with this edition, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(93);'>MCs</span> are really difficult to hide and generally get shot lots.<br /> <br /> Main problem I forsee with this is a slight lack of <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(482);'>AT</span> but I should be there quite quick!<br /> <br /> Would really like to fit abaddon in but very difficult pointswise... Only option I can see is to trade the vindi for him but that means I lose pie plate loveliness.]]></description>

				<title>Alternate 5th edition army list - 1500 CSM</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Why the termi armor on the sorcerer?  Pure modeling or do you have a cunning plan?  I'd rather see those points converted into combi-meltas / plasmas for the terminators.  The heavy flamer is super sweet with all the cover saves to destroy, but giving the squad another purpose in addition would be a good plan - emergency <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(482);'>AT</span> comes to mind.<br /> <br /> Otherwise I like the list, good mix of stuff and refreshingly not <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(323);'>WAAC</span> chaos.  Solid number of vehicles means they'll be sticking around to bring the pain.  Unfortunate that your brass scorpion didn't make the list but it's not like you'll never run the guy.<br /> <br /> - Salvage]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Yup... SOrc is kinda my termi armoured Dark Apostle (which hasnt even been made yet)... Not really sure what to do with <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span> though. <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(262);'>DP</span> spam is getting boring for me so want to try other stuff. Tried some termies last night and they worked quite well. <br /> <br /> I have just ordered the new <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(39);'>FW</span> term kits but also got 8 painted terminators which I'm gonna repaint in the new scheme.<br /> <br /> I just didn't want to go with the same list everyone else is running: <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(262);'>DPs</span>, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(634);'>PMs</span>, Obliterator spam ... Yawn.<br /> <br /> Also, really I want Abaddon but he is soooo expensive.<br /> <br /> As for the scorp, he's got an <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(7);'>apoc</span> style tourny soon and will come out in big games.]]></description>

Yawn.<br /> </div></blockquote><br /> Props to you sir.  <br /> <br /> But unfortunately you do hit the problem of what to do with your <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span>.  The unfortunate thing is that a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(262);'>DP</span> works best for what you've got in the rest of the list, where everybody is in a transport or off table waiting to strike.  He's either got to a) be tough enough to do his own thing or b) ride with the plague marines or c) strike with the termies.  Hypothetically I see a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(262);'>DP</span> surviving more in this list than one with fewer vehicles, as enemy heavy weapons can only zzap so many hard targets, so getting a good lash off and then sucking las might be what he does for you.<br /> <br /> And Abby ... I'd save him for <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(7);'>APOC</span> myself <img src="/s/i/a/6d3c0a908a3861135dfaebde91c0ecf6.gif" border="0"><br /> <br /> - Salvage]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Saying one thing is always the best idea is pretty asinine <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(72);'>imo</span>. For what you seem to be wanting to do, I'll agree with some previous ideas and find the points for the rhino for the zerkers (by dropping 2 termies preferably) and throw your termies and sorc (with lash) into the Land Raider (which should definitely have <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(262);'>DP</span>). 12" move + 2" disembark + up to 12" lash towards you + 6" charge = an assault range even Wyches respect. This will let your termies see much, much more action than if they were DSing (and not get shot up in the process.  <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -Cadian16th]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I'd say get rid of the plasma guns on the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(634);'>PMs</span> and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSMs</span> in favor of more <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(634);'>PMs</span>. The Plasma isn't that useful in 5th, everything has cover.<br /> <br />  If your not going to put your termies in the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(87);'>LR</span> you probably shouldn't gear them for <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(19);'>CC</span>. If they fail at DSing they will either die, end up ineffective, or mishap all the way across the board into the land of wasted points. I'd say it'd be better to give them 2xPF and a Reaper Autocannon. They way, no matter what happens to them, they will be useful. You can start them on the board, try to <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(471);'>DS</span> them into and advantageous position, or put them in that land raider to engage a dangerous unit with some survivable 2+ saves. It would also free up some points to use on more upgrades. Maybe you could get more <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(634);'>PMs</span> without discarding the Plasmas.]]></description>
