				<title>AM 1850, foot slogging with heavy support </title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I've been messing with building a viable non-mech-vet list since the new codex came out and this is my best idea so far. Any input is welcome!<br /> <br /> The general battle plan is to let vehicles fight heavy targets and infantry claim objectives and fight infantry with volume of fire. <br /> <br /> The army has a strong alpha strike (2 vanqs, 8 lascannons, 3 autocannons, 11 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(55);'>HK</span> missiles). With moderate luck 6 lascannons and 6 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(55);'>HK</span> will be buffed with prescience and if the Tank Commander gets preferred enemy this buffs 2 vanqs, 2 lascannons and 2 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(55);'>HK</span> missiles. I am a bit worried about spending 110 pts on <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(55);'>HK</span> missiles, but the alpha strike is appealing...<br /> <br /> For anti-infantry there are 6 flamer units with a total of 10 flamers. There are also 10 precision shot bolters and some 80 lasguns.<br /> <br /> Thanks to lascannons/melta each unit in the army can hurt any target, so in the endgame all survivors should be reasonably useful.<br /> <br /> One open question is how to protect the psykers. Could prove to be a tricky one.<br /> <br /> Tell me what you think! Could this list work?<br /> <br /> <br /> <b><span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span></b><br /> <br /> Tank Commander, 400<br />  - vanquisher, lascannon, plasma sponsons, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(55);'>hk</span> missile		<br />  - vanquisher, lascannon, plasma sponsons, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(55);'>hk</span> missile<br /> 						<br /> Primaris, 50<br />  - divination<br /> 		<br /> Primaris, 50<br />  - divination<br /> <br /> 			<br /> <b>TROOPS</b><br /> 	<br /> <b>Platoon A, 390</b>			<br />  - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(331);'>PCS</span> (melta, bolter) 46			<br />  - 4 PiS (melta, bolter) 244		<br />  - 2 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(695);'>SWS</span> (2 flamers, melta) 100<br /> <br /> <b>Platoon B, 390</b> <br />  - identical to Platoon A	<br /> 			<br /> <br /> <b>FAST</b><br /> 			<br /> 3 Armoured Sentinels, 180<br />  - lascannon, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(55);'>HK</span> missile<br /> <br /> 3 Armoured Sentinels, 180<br />  - lascannon, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(55);'>HK</span> missile<br /> <br /> 3 Armoured Sentinels, 165<br />  - autocannon, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(55);'>HK</span> missile<br /> 	<br /> 		<br /> TOTAL: 1805]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I would change up your infantry to be all the same weapons. flamers in one squad meltas another.  <br /> <br /> Plasma sponsons on one tank are a little pointless the tanks will be tank hunting use <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(330);'>MMs</span> or nothing at all. I think more troops or perhaps heavy weapon teams in your platoons would be more useful than all the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(55);'>HKs</span> <br /> <br /> Ive never tried the masses sentinels, i would like to know how that fairs. Maybe use autocannons for double the shots. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the input Tenzilla!<br /> <br /> I thought about having triple melta squads, but I fear six T3 bodies on foot carrying three meltas will be a too obvious target. Same goes for the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(331);'>PCS</span>. Just a single melta to keep cost down and body count up. Point taken though, I'll keep it in mind.<br /> <br /> All tanks had plasma at one point, but then I ended up at 1866 pts. Plasma cannons are such a sweet deep-strike deterrent! <img src="/s/i/a/c944477abc92c1c101da485e07ff06d8.gif" border="0"> I guess I could downgrade to multimelta sponsons, saving a few points in the process, but I don't like it as there is so much <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(482);'>AT</span> already.<br /> <br /> I thought about auto cannons. At least for one squad, in case you get the outflank warlord trait. I think I want to keep at least some with lascannons tough, as they really can hurt anything on the table. Actually, downgrading one squadron to <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(5);'>AC</span> would save enough points for the plasma sponsons. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ You have alot of Anti-Tank. What happens if you run into a horde of Termagaunts? Or Orks? You don't have enough Anti-Infantry firepower. <br /> <br /> Make one of the sentinel squadrons into autocannon sents, and make your Exterminator a Punsiher or an Eradicator. You may want to look into some weapon teams for your infantry squads as well. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the feed-back!<br /> <br /> I have updated the list in the initial post.<br /> <br /> Exterminator is gone.<br /> <br /> Added plasma sponsons to 2nd vanq in commanders squadron. <br /> Added 1 PiS w melta/bolter per platoon. <br /> Added flamers to <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(331);'>PCS</span>.<br /> Change one squadron of Sentinels to autocannons.<br /> <br /> 45 points to spend.<br /> <br /> ]]></description>
