here's another pass at my list, now that I'm home. the major change is swapping the LotD for a 5-man bike unit with grav-guns. I also swapped the flamer on the 5-man tac squad for a meltagun.

HQ - 190

vulkan

Troops - 545

5-man tac squad w/melta, combi-melta, melta bombs, rhino (dozer blade)
10-man tac squad w/plasmagun, combi-flamer, rhino (dozer blade)
10-man tac squad w/plasmagun, combi-flamer, rhino (dozer blade)

Fast Attack - 245

5-man assault squad w/2 flamers, drop pod
5-man bike squad w/2 grav-guns, combi-grav and melta bombs

Heavy Support - 418

3-man centurion dev squad w/grav-cannons, omniscope
6-man dev squad w/4 plasma cannons

Inquisitorial Detachment - 100

coteaz

this gives me both mobile (bikes) and durable (centurions) grav on the field. should do well vs. suits and riptides. I'm a bit torn on a few things, though:

1. should coteaz roll with the plasma devs or the grav centurions? my original thinking was with the plasma devs, but if he gets forewarning that could make the centurions even more durable with a 4++ (I expect them to draw a lot of fire).
2. who should vulkan roll with? normally I run him with the centurions to tank a few wounds and deter assaults. I've got room in the rhino with the 5-man tac squad, though, so that's another option. I'm not even sure if he really fits in this list, as it's pretty light on melta overall. he's fluffy, though, so eh... ?
3. for the plasma tac squads, I can't decide if I'm better off with combi-flamers or combi-plasmas on the sergeants. combi-plas gives me a one-time punch at range that will ignore armor (but not cover) vs. the assault deterrent and twin-linked ignores-cover template goodness of the combi-flamer. I'm leaning towards the combi-plas because I expect to see a lot of suits and the flamer won't hurt them much, but I could be wrong about what he'll be bringing.

Rhinos will get shot out and leave you humping it across the table....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575426/6469683.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575426/6469683.page GMT as it stands, though, I only have one pod available. so, I figured rhino rushing was the second best option (vs. straight up foot slogging).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575426/6469700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575426/6469700.page GMT
