http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net WHFB for the last few years and only have a couple of games of 40k in that time.


For kill points.

If I buy a unit and a dedicated transport, that is 2 kill points, 1 for the unit and 1 for the transport.

So an IG platoon with Command group & chimera and 3 infantry squads with 3 chimeras = 8 kill points.

And that means there is no point in taking mechanised infantry IG?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745123.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745123.page GMT
Yes in KP missions you are kind of disadvantaged, but that balances out the advantage you have in 2/3 of other games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745133.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745133.page GMT
But if for some reason you really must have IG platoon why not mount them in vendetta/valkrie?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745154.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745154.page GMT
My concern with the valkarie is that for a minimum sized platoon, I'll need a vehicle squadron, and a vehicle squadron = dead meat if shot at.

I have been considering veterans as well (with chimera) and a squad of storm troopers in a valkarie (Krieg grenadiers) as support.

I want it to be a 'Look at moi' modelling and painting army, not a cheese fest win at all costs gaming army. But I would like to have some chance of winning.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745278.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745278.page GMT KP games blob up your infantry squads. 5kps becomes 1kp.

Infantry Platoon
PCS 30 + war gear + chimera (so orders can be given)
3xIS + war gear + commissar

Valkyrie x3 + multiple rocket pods (390pts) (optional heavy bolters) (= 6 large blasts at str 4 ap6 and 9 str6 ap6 shots ( if you've taken the heavy bolters, 18 str 5 ap 4 shots when you don't move) since this thing comes with scout that's allot of damage on the first turn.

ignoring the cheese for a moment. In KP games your IS bulk together now you have a squad with 3 heavy weapons (if it was me missiles and grenade launchers) and 3 commissars so it shouldn't run away. And you will outflank with the Valkyrie (basically come on and shoot the hell out of any anti-tank then sit still (only if you have the heavy bolters) and blast any one that looks at them funny.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745325.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745325.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745335.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/745335.page GMT SM army ended up with more KPs hehehe =)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/748696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242230/748696.page GMT
