http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Sorry about all the edits, I just looked at my models and realized I'm out a drop pod, so the ironclad is losing his and is going on the storm raven

Vulcan he,Stan

Chaplain
-plasma pistol

Command squad
-4 flamers
-apothecary
-drop pod


Tactical squad
-flamer, multi melta
-veteran sgt w/ power weapon

5 assault terminators
-3 thunder hammers

Ironclad dreadnought
-2 heavy flamers

Storm talon gunship

Storm raven gunship
-multi melta, TL lascannon

So the tactics are pretty obvious with this I will try it out tomorrow. But for now I wanted to see what you guys thought, Vulcan goes with the command squad, and the chaplain goes with the terminators in the raven. And from what I've seen of space marines they are really good at holding objectives so I plan in dominating the part of the bored with the most, and defending against it using everything that isn't a troop to hold things at bay.
I have about 55 points left over, I have a few ideas of how to use them, mainly death wind missile launchers, located beams and such, but still in the air about it, if you have suggestions it would be great.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6279284.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6279284.page GMT or are you sticking them in the Raven ?

Does look good though let us know how it works out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6279341.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6279341.page GMT

I know it's tempting to load up the Stormraven with as much stuff as possible but this is actually a horrible idea. It's the old eggs in one basket scenario. Dropping into hover will spell almost certain doom for your Storm Raven, and clever maneuvering by a competent opponent can ensure that you usually won't get a charge, or will get one on an expendable unit. And if you try to kick them out of the door, you'll need to scatter and take dangerous terrain tests which in the case of the Ironclad could spell disaster.

That said, Vulkan does belong in a drop pod, but why not take meltaguns!? Or just take Sternguard instead.

Next, Assault terminators aren't as good as either another Ironclad in a pod + spare points, or Sternguard in a pod, or 2 Thunderfire Cannons + spare points, or another Stormraven or.....see where I'm going with this?

Chaplains are terrible. Put those points into one of the myriad of things I mentioned above.

Good theme, and you've definitely identified what Salamanders do best: Drop pod spam alpha strike, with fliers sprinkled in to taste. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6280528.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6280528.page GMT Just so you have an idea of what I have to use instead, I have
A land raider crusader, thunder fire cannon, 2 land speeders w/multi meltas, heavy flamers, a bunch of captains, a chapter master, a Libby, one dreadnought, attack bike, 2 units of five sniper scouts, and I believe that is everything]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6280553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6280553.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6280573.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6280573.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6280591.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564766/6280591.page GMT
