I have put together my first AM list of the new codex for my club's next podcast. Last podcast we discussed the codex so now it is time to show what we learned and put forth our best lists. Please, take a look at this list and discuss how we can make it a better list. Everything is pretty self-explanatory except for a couple of items: Our club allows Forge World. I couldn't squeeze in Sabre platforms but I did pick a spiffy Vulture. The veteran squad is my capture unit so that is why I splurged on grenadiers and a Priest to tag along on the Valkyrie ride.

OK, on to the list.

HQ
Knight Commander Pask (Warlord)
Leman Russ Punisher w/ HB sponsons (Pask's ride)
Leman Russ Punisher

Tank Commander
Leman Russ vanquisher (TC's ride) w/ lascannon
Leman Russ Executioner w/ PC sponsons

Regimental Specialists:
Primaris Psyker x2
Ministorum Priests x2

TROOPS
Veteran Squad - HF, F x2, Grenadiers

Infantry Platoon
Platoon Command Squad
Infantry Squad x3
------> 3x Chimera (ML, HF)
Conscript Squad - 40 men (Stick a Priest here)

FAST ATTACK
Valykrie - (In here rides Vets and a Priest)
Vulture - twin-linked Punisher Gun

HEAVY SUPPORT
Deathstrike

FORTIFICATIONS
Aegis Defense Line w/ Icarus cannon

Total = 2000]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592096/6768087.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592096/6768087.page GMT Re:Astra Militarum 2000 Mechanized List for Discussion GTG?

Hi MaxZ, thanks for starting the discussion.

I don't really follow what you mean by the commissar and GTG? Could you elaborate? Commissars don't have orders (unless I missed something?). While commissars are a great value now I don't need the Stubborn they give when the Priest grants Fearless to my blob.

Strategy with the chimeras is keeping them back and alive until I need to move up to objectives, they also serve as bunkers for my psykers. The Deathstrike should be hidden behind LoS blocking terrain if at all possible with maybe a chimera protector. The ADL is for the tanks mostly and then any chimeras that can benefit. I just have to hope the opponent doesn't also have a Deathstrike because it kind of defeats the purpose of the ADL until after he fires it!

Opinions?
