I usually write for 1500 or 1850, but I couldn't really do this short of 2000.

I like Mech lists, but playing with AV has not been good to me in this edition, so I'm wary of buying models for an army like this, to say the least. What does Dakka think?

- I'm meh on the HQ choice. What are some better alternatives?

- I feel like this list packs enough firepower to put serious pressure on most opponents, but the model count is hella low.

- It has no AA.

- How could this be scaled down to 1850 and 1500 games? 6 small scoring units seems risky at 2000 points.

- I'm also meh on the Assault Centurions, but they seemed like the best way to get both Land Raiders and Vindicators on the table. Also, it's impossible for any of them to die if their ride Explodes. Better options?

- Most importantly: Is this competitive? My Tau would have a hard time stopping that iron wall before it got to my line, but I don't play super-competitively.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/562498/6238112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/562498/6238112.page GMT Motf is better than a chap I think, better save and he can repair on a 4+ if something breaks. Maybe a better option is to run one assault cent, change the chap to a master and run honor guard with axes?

Huh. Black Templars make for awesome Mech Space Marine lists. I actually -love- the above lists. It's so symmetrical, so spearhead-shaped. So strangely lacking in close combat upgrades.

Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/562498/6240779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/562498/6240779.page GMT SM allies. The vindicators would all be fast and can run with the landraiders then.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/562498/6242188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/562498/6242188.page GMT
