List so far:

225 Mephiston
100 Corbulo
160 Tact (5 man) with Melta Gun and Rhino
160 Tact (5 man) with Melta Gun and Rhino
270 2 Baal Predators with Heavy Bolter and Storm Bolters sponsons
200 Furioso Dred with Venerable and Death Company and Heavy Flamer in a Pod
275 Regular Assault Squad (10 man) with powerfist
275 Regular Assault Squad (10 man) with powerfist
125 Death Company (7 man) with Jump Packs
50 Attack Bike with Multimelta

Totals 1840 (probably get 2 melta bombs with the 10)

other current idea is to drop one of the assault squads for a Vindicator, 2 more attack bikes with MM, 1 more death company, and maybe a powerweapon for the last 15 points.

It all depends on the armies you face of course but I think assault marines are gak.

your attack bike and the dread will get targeted real quick and that leaves you with very little anti armor. I assume you will need those marines with a melta to support your assault and tar pit other units OR hold objectives keeping them out of the fight altogether. There isn't good enough target saturation because assault troops just aren't that menacing, especially the ones footslogging!.

and the two baal pred will be useless if your assault is in top gear.

I suppose the HQs are the difference. I honestly don't know much about how the characters play out.

idunno, i just don't see how this army plays out well against CSM, orks, nids or MECH Guard... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236460/665292.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236460/665292.page GMT AM count as troops so thats a fast last minute objective contester/grabber. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236460/665516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236460/665516.page GMT
Meph with asault marines? you may fail a test and leave him stranded

in a rhino? not a great assault platform

corb cannot go with the death company due to jump packs, so they will be raging off all over the place. maybe give them a rhino?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236460/665925.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236460/665925.page GMT
And yeah, I will probably need to go with my option of adding a vindicator and assault bikes for added anti-armor. Originally was thinking of having the jump troops follow behind the line of vehicles until close enough to assault. As for Meph...I was thinking of putting him with the assault marines; but if he fails a test maybe I should have a rhino nearby if he needs a ride all of a sudden.

Originally for Corb I was thinking he would be hitching a ride in one of the rhino's and keep the dc relatively close to his ride to control the DC; but with your suggestion Xenith I may get the DC a rhino and since they are not full strength put corb in with them. Just have to make sure the jump marines and Meph stay close enough to get Corb's benefit of Furious Charge.

Good ideas so far!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236460/666553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236460/666553.page GMT
