5 points to spare... thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4174781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4174781.page GMT Salamander 1850 list

4 troop choices, so you should be able to hold objectives adequately (8 if you combat squad). However they are a little unprotected, so they might get a bit beat up. You'll just have to play a little more tactically to pull off holding alot of objectives. Maybe, you could replace the MM in 1 squad to a Missile Launcher, That way, if an objectives is massively out of the way, you have the 46"(?) range of the missile launcher to allow for the squad to contribute.

I hope you are going to deepstrike the Speeders. They're wrecks otherwise.

As for the spare 5 points, maybe you can scrounge enough points for a locator beacon. Just to let your speeders and other drop pods land in the right place.

PS, on an OT note, can you split your list into paragraphs for each Force org. slot. E.G. 1 paragraph for HQ, another for troops etc.
It should look a little like this:

Melta has a 24" range, not 28".

Speeders starting on the table isn't terrible, depending on how much terrain they can hide behind. Im just thinking it would be a better idea to Deep strike them with your drop pods, just to stick with the theme]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4174928.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4174928.page GMT Salamander 1850 list
I would prefer normal dreads with MM+HF. This is ok in cc but can hit things when it lands.
Also dreads land in melta range so I would not risk an ironclads points that it will survive first turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4175014.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4175014.page GMT Salamander 1850 list

And I know nothing in my army is over 24” range but that's what makes it fun to play, I have 4 pods coming in first turn and you're being harassed by the speeders, very in your face. And I love my ironclads, AV thirteen is amazing plus all the extra good stuff it gets, best dreadnought in my opinion, but very limited range. Three highly armoured dreads within 6” first turn can be hard to deal with]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4175034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4175034.page GMT Salamander 1850 list

It was an educated guess, didn't have the codex to hand and dont really use them at max range.

Your list does seem fun to play, really fun. Do you have any battle reports which i could take a look at? Would love to see how your army works out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4176924.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4176924.page GMT Salamander 1850 list

It is very fun to play trust me! I will post one after my next game. Will probably be tomorrow night.

Those tac squads are gold. I took 5 geared up tac squads to a Feb tourney and found that basically I boltered everything to death.

For your list I say dont be afraid to dominate the centre of the board, because so many tacs you need those bolters supporting each other, which means staying within 12, and you really want at least 3 units firing on a single target each turn so as its able to be destroyed or effectively neutralised. Spreading your tacs over a broad frontage with your pods would be a mistake IMO, even with an ironclad nearby for support.

Changes i would suggest.

You can take some of those fists out. I know they are gold but if you play mutually supporting, you could lose a few. Read my Clash batreps, unless an opponent carefully coords their assault, which should be hard given your pod flexibility.

Second, i would recommend two lascannons in the tacs, and deploy those units at staet on obj with their pods empty, perhaps put a deathwind in one?

Finally i would suggest combining those speeders into a squadron. Single KP, ignores annoying 1 and 2 and better chance of achieving fire mission. Recommend being very precious with these guys till there is a good threat to hit as they are very fragile.

Love the list, best of luck, im certain it will be a fun list to play with and against.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4177265.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4177265.page GMT Salamander 1850 list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4177338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4177338.page GMT Salamander 1850 list tac squad and take MOF and another Ironclad, use MoF w combimelta to buff a tac squad.

Would certainly be a little different.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4178589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4178589.page GMT Salamander 1850 list HQ like MoF or lysander for his bolter drill etc but I don't like losing that extra tac squad, my list works fine with 3 tac squads but that 7th drop pod means 4 can come on turn one]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4178608.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4178608.page GMT Re:Salamander 1850 list TL flamers & meltas right in your opponent's face on turn 1... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4178646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4178646.page GMT Salamander 1850 list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4178773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444248/4178773.page GMT Salamander 1850 list
Belial w termi escort gated in, foot mounted termi opponent sitting in deployment, what did I do? Bought everything in to try and crack his hammer. A mistake.

Two turns copping fire, bunched up, shooting at 6 models.

Special case but good learning for next time. You have a similar list, and different as no rhinos, but im sure a similiar situation could present itself.

More detail in the report if you have time.
