Here is a list I am considering for an upcoming GT, 1999 single force or no escalation or fortifications:

Company Command Squad - Meltagun, Chimera - ML, HB

Vet Squad - 3 x Melta Gun, Chimera - ML, HB

Vet Squad - 3 x Plasma Gun, Chimera - ML, HB

Vendetta Gunship - 3 TL Lascannons

Vendetta Gunship - 3 TL Lascannons

Scout Sentinel - Missle Launcher, Hunter Killer Missle

Manticore Rocket Launcher

Leman Russ Demolisher - HB

Leman Russ Demolisher - HB


Allied to Tau:

Commander - Ignore Cover, Drone controller, Iridium Battlesuit, puretide engram chip, stim injector

Riptide - Ion Accelerator

10 Kroot - 1 Hound

10 Kroot - 1 Hound

3 Man Broadside team - 5 missile drones, interceptor, missile pods and smart missiles


I have a Tau/Tau army too but this is something a little different (for me at least im sure its not original). As such any comments or concerns from people who have seen or done it better than I is welcome. Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580315/6548623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580315/6548623.page GMT
remove drone controller doesn't work on missile drones.

I would give the riptide EWO for drop podding marines.

overall good list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580315/6549516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580315/6549516.page GMT EWO on the riptide plus maybe a boltgun or something for my IG commander. Maybe I can find room for a grenade launcher or flamer.

I plan to outflank the sentinel so I don't think it will cause first blood (I think they have scout I don't have the codex in front of me). A bit of a liability during kill points, but the ability to outflank and throw some missiles at the side or rear of a wave serpent or other tank seems really good and should get a kill point to offset any I might lose.

Another possibility I was looking at was dropping the demolisher and the sentinel for three hydras and another melta gun. That army would look like this:

Company Command Squad - 2 x Meltagun, Commander with Boltgun, Chimera - ML, HB

Vet Squad - 3 x Melta Gun, Chimera - ML, HB

Vet Squad - 3 x Plasma Gun, Chimera - ML, HB

Vendetta Gunship - 3 TL Lascannons

Vendetta Gunship - 3 TL Lascannons

Manticore Rocket Launcher

Leman Russ Demolisher - HB

3 x Hydra Flak Tanks - HB


Allied to Tau:

Commander - MSSS, Iridium Battle Suit, Pure-tide engram chip, stim injector

Riptide - Ion Accelerator, EWO, SMS

10 Kroot - 1 Hound

10 Kroot - 1 Hound

3 Man Broadside team - 5 missile drones, EWO, HYMP and SMS ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580315/6550108.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580315/6550108.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580315/6552041.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580315/6552041.page GMT
That said though a vet squad with three meltas and a chimera is 155 pts while the full hydra squad is 225. The demolisher is 165. I am thinking it would be a meta call on the tourn but going into an unknown event I think I would want more insurance against wave serpents since they seem to be everywhere. I would say a fifth troop choice is attractive if I find I am low on troops.

Also I should say I have never played with a guard army before so this is all theory and fishing from my end on the expected damage output. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580315/6552336.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/580315/6552336.page GMT
