Hellhound

Overall it comes out to 1497pts. I'd really like to add the hellhound to my list mainly b/c it's lacking any kind of anti-horde and I like the idea of throwing around a flame template. The idea behind the Grenade vets is to pick at the enemy at range with heavy stubber and their small blast template since I think I can use those as defensive weapons if I move the vehicle. I like using my stormtroopers as special unit hunters and for the most part usually earn their points back. Let me know what you think. Is the hellhound a good addition or should I just add another melta-vet squad in a valk with MRPs? And if it isn't a good addition, what would be a good way to add it in?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348704/2477695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348704/2477695.page GMT 1500pt IG http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348704/2477797.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348704/2477797.page GMT Re:1500pt IG gl vets then?

I don't think you need to spend the points on the stubbers, but they've never been exactly useful to me.

What is your reason for running 6 stormtroopers instead of the min unit, (or am i just dumb and forgetting that six is the min unit?)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348704/2478197.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348704/2478197.page GMT Re:1500pt IG

I mean I could run 2 mini-squads but then I would have 32pts and no idea what to use that on in the current list. I suppose I would probably use it on upgrading the gl-vets to plasma vets.

Problem is, I don't have that much plasma.

(but less bodies)

also: models firing from transports count as a separate unit (ie, not counting as defensive weapons, so if you move your plasmas can still shoot out of it)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348704/2479166.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348704/2479166.page GMT 1500pt IG

I'd keep the heavy bolter sponsons on the vendettas though. It's 20 points to make 2 expensive vehicles have anything to do if hordes come by.

Against the kinds of armies I bring, for example, there is generally VERY little for a vendetta to do. It's 130 points of waste. Same is true against green tide and to a lesser extent certain tyranid builds. With the heavy bolters, you're spending 140 points, but you're actually giving the chance for the unit to be somewhat useful against certain army types that vendettas will do little against. Not a terrible waste of 10 points at all, especially when it can be difficult to figure out how to spend a few extra points at the end of a mech list.

Plus, the HB's aren't ALWAYS bad synergy either. They help vs. AV10, lower-toughness monstrous creatures like demon princes, and low-toughness good Sv targets like terminators.
