11 twin-linked flamers, 18 twin-linked multi meltas, tons of mobility, 6 scoring units. vulkan and tac squad sits on objective, while the 5 bike squads and 3 sttack bike squads with their MMs go a killin.

there is a weird part of me that really wants 3 thunderfire cannons with this army, even though I really don't like them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/692638.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/692638.page GMT 2000 point salamander bike army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/693579.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/693579.page GMT 2000 point salamander bike army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/694079.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/694079.page GMT 2000 point salamander bike army MMs for HBs and make sevral of those flamers melta guns. the melta guns give you a couple extra shots to kill MCs/tanks. I would also drop 1 of those bike squads to put 2 more stock bikes in each of the remaining bike squads. Do that and the scout comment TCP made and I think you have a REALLY hard to beat list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/695092.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/695092.page GMT 2000 point salamander bike army
EDIT: Nevermind, I missed the 10 man Tac squad.

I like the three Thunderfire idea, you might like that better than one of the Bike squads, actually, for some long range supression fire, which will be awesome to have in conjunction with a fast moving, but somewhat light hitting army. They'd give you a great option against hordes, and it would further emphasise your mobility superiority when you use Tremor rounds to pin down parts of the battlefield and zoom around.

However, also in keeping with the Salamanders theme, but departing a bit from the bikers, how about adding at 2500:

Assault Terminators x5 Thunderhammer/Storm Shield
+ Land Raider Redeemer, Extra Armor, Multi-Melta

465 pts

Here's a great place to let Vulkan hop in for a ride, too; the LRR can seat 6 TDA/12 PA. Plus, as a dedicated transport, it leaves all three Heavy slots open for TH Cannons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/695667.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/695667.page GMT 2000 point salamander bike army

yeah, I was considering that, but it just didn't seem in theme for me. I will admit that in practice (i.e. a tournament) this would be a better idea.

@Generalretreat -- I have a tough time convincing myself to take a lone land raider, as all the AT fire on the board will focus on it, and the more dice that are rolled, the more likely it is that I have wasted 250+ points. At 2500 points, I will probably take 3 TF cannons and an ironclad in a pod with melta and HF.

taking out a bike squad and changing the tac squad gives me 300 points for 3 thunderfire cannons, which I think gives this army some much needed firepower.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/704662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238330/704662.page GMT
