A bit about where I want to take it:

I want a shooty/mech army

I want to use Lysander. Probably getting an assault Termie sqaud to pair with him

But to start off, I was thinking about getting 2 tac Squads. I'm going to take my time on painting and modeling (which will give me time to get funds to get more IF stuff).

If someone can point me to a list that fits this playstyle and/or some suggestions on how to kit out squads and make a list like this, it would be greatly appreciated. I've done some searching thus far and have yet to find one that fits my goals and is effective at the same time.

Thanks! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/391860/3226911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/391860/3226911.page GMT Imperial Fists Advice/Startup
First thing's first though, I'd get Lysander, two Tactical squads and paint them up. You'll need those no matter what list you end up building. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/391860/3226982.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/391860/3226982.page GMT Imperial Fists Advice/Startup

Sounds good to me!

As for Lysander, I read some other topics regarding IF lists and most said he's a beast in CC (With the hammer) so to run him with Assault Termies. I was thinking about going with the Sternguard or tac Termies as well, but decided to go the other way based off of what I read. Sounds like he's a beast either way!

Also, need advice on kitting out the squads - Meltas, Lascannons etc... something that's well rounded.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/391860/3226990.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/391860/3226990.page GMT Imperial Fists Advice/Startup
