Basically theres a few ways you can go with imperial fists chapter tactics.

You can do a standard IF army which is extremely balanced at all aspects but is expected to use at least 1 vindicator.

You can do lysander's 3rd company list from the suppliment which use's centaurian devestators and tac marines on foot.

Or you can do the Pedro cantors sternguard list, which is usually a drop pod list focused on alpha strike.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582943/6597530.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582943/6597530.page GMT Imperial Fists - Upgrade Advice

Standard IF. My main concern used to be tank busting, but the addition of my devastator squad took care of that.

Now I'm worried I don't have enough speed to take objectives in objective games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582943/6597572.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582943/6597572.page GMT Imperial Fists - Upgrade Advice

Bikes are extremely good in 6ED and are great at grabbing objectives. I have ten bikes in my DA army and plan on buying more. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582943/6597591.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582943/6597591.page GMT Imperial Fists - Upgrade Advice

Also, a really quick question: there is a local tourney with a 1,000 point limit. I'm struggling with my list. One problem is that Darnath Lysander, while a total monster, is 230 pts. That's roughly a quarter of my points gone in one unit. Makes me very hesitant, especially since, with the new codex, I don't need him for bolted drill.

I'm thinking I may be better server going with my Terminator Chaplain instead. Paired with a deep-striking Terminator Assault Squad, they can do serious damage.

If I went with Lysander, all I can afford with my remaining points is a scout unit, 10 tac marines w/ razorback, terminator assault squad, and a 5-man devastator squad.....along with whatever 70 points can buy me.

However, with a Terminator Chaplain, I could have all of the above, but with 180 points to spare.....which I could convert into either a Stormtalon, another tactical squad, or a combination of a 5-man assault squad and a dreadnought.

Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582943/6611956.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582943/6611956.page GMT
