The thinking behind the list is elements of an Armoured Company supported by infantry. All of my AA comes from the Vulture and Avenger, both of which have good averages when it comes to scoring glancing hits against other flyers. The AT power comes from the HQ squadron, the airborne Veterans. and the Vulture/avenger if they survive. The five tanks all have sponsons mainly because all of my models have them, though, I'm not apposed to just ignoring them (with and informing opponents of course). I'm considering dropping the valkyrie, and putting two chimera in its place, which would fit the theme better.

Thoughts?

Why all the bolters?

Also, with all that infantry, you might consider a fortification. Locally, the single Wall of Martyrs bunker has been very popular. Basically a cheap mini-bastion. Throw a void shield on it, maybe an ammo dump, and stick your platoon command inside so the commander can use his BS4 on the gun.

Otherwise, looks serviceable. Have a chance to field it yet?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6783435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6783435.page GMT 2000pt Astra Militarum list,
The bolters are there because of aesthetics really, plus, its only 7 points for all of them as it is.

I've never used the fortifications etc, and I'm still pretty confused as to how they work, other than the Aegis Defence line, that seems simple enough, I've even got about 2 feet of the old GW sandbag lines (2002-4 I think?) still in great condition to represent it. Just need to model an Emplaced weapon for it, maybe a crew-less lascannon Sabre defence platform or a Tarantula?

Unfortunately, its still in transit, I recently moved to the US from the UK, and I'm still having it delivered... so yea haha.

A void shield on it means anyone shooting at it or models on its battlements has to glance or pen AV12 first. The bunker itself is AV14, and eight models can use the fire points.

I've found a lot of opponents don't want to feel like they're wasting shots on such a cheap unit to kill the void shield and leave it alone. Stick your PCS in it (if you don't care about their orders), or a HWS with an attached commissar for the emplacement. Gives you some anti-air, and you can stick an objective by the door for last-turn scoring.

Still, I do kind of want to take a Primaris with Div. Mainly for booasting the rest of the army. Hmmm much to ponder. thanks guys.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6787610.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6787610.page GMT 2000pt Astra Militarum list, CCS?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6787679.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6787679.page GMT 2000pt Astra Militarum list, LD, and Pask uses 9 for his commands...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6791725.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6791725.page GMT 2000pt Astra Militarum list, CCS would have to be your Warlord.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6793488.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6793488.page GMT 2000pt Astra Militarum list,

Pask actually doesn't have a Leadership score, so yes, the CCS would have to be your Warlord.


Debated. The codex expressly states that tank commander may be taken as your warlord, a sentence needless for any model in HQ with a LD value. I'm not sure what the consensus is, but common sense would suggest this allows you to simply decide they are without comparing LD values. Rules in the codex take precedence and all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6793497.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6793497.page GMT 2000pt Astra Militarum list, TO.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6794533.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592852/6794533.page GMT
