I have 60 points to spare. Where should they be used?

That's exactly 60 points.

What are you planning to do about armour? I count only 6 lascannons and nothing close range, unless you wanted to try deepstriking the oblits which is very risky.

And honestly I'd drop the blastmaster, it's just too darn expensive for what it can do. It's limited a good bit by the new blast rules [combined with lash it'd be nice, but you already have obliterators for that], and if you're moving [which, being in rhinos, I assume you are] you're now paying that expensive price for something that gives 2 S5 shots, when for 35 points less [the cost of the rest of the squad's sonic blasters!] you'd get 2 shots at S4. Is 1 point of strength, 1 less AP, and pinning really worth the extra 35?

Dropping the two blastmasters and making that 8th guy the noise champion I mentioned instead would allow you to buy another obliterator, or drop an oblit, combine the extra to make 1 squad of 3, and add a defiler.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/632779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/632779.page GMT
This list is meant to be semi-competitive certainly not torny worthy. In the armies I forsee playing, 6 lascannons would be more then fine against what would be fielded in 1500pts. The only exception being an Eldar player, who I may have some trouble with.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/633817.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/633817.page GMT
And yes, I know why you have rhinos. That's the problem. If you're going to be moving around, the blastmaster is even MORE of a waste. Drop them for the doomsiren champions. You can fire a doomsiren from inside if you move 6", or you can get out and fire if you move any distance, but the blastmaster will only be able to shoot the varied frequency if you get out at all, or if the tank moves at all. Big waste.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/635358.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/635358.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/635706.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/635706.page GMT MOS, Lash of Submission,Wings

I like this one now, thanks for the advice Spellbound! I am just getting a kick out of moving 12" then jumping out of the rhino, flaming, shooting then assaulting.Oh and my question still stands, are blastmasters worth it? Perhaps against horde armies and when they were not in a rhino?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/636144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/636144.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/636798.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/636798.page GMT I'd take 6 men squads in Rhinos and a small unit with blastmaster able to sit on an objective in your back field; drop some Obliterators for this. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/638829.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/638829.page GMT MCs like a S8 AP3 pinning template. They can also be used as reasonable anti-tank (they shouldnt be relied upon for this but they can be useful in a pinch). In this army, however, i think that more aggressive troops choices would serve you better, to give you something for attacking objectives. So go with the doom sirens.

If you were to enlarge this army i would certainly suggest takking a couple of NM squads with blastmasters because they can be very effective.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/638957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234471/638957.page GMT 2 6 man squads with champ with doom siren and 6sb in a rhino.
