11 Pods so 6 will come down initially. Most likely the sternguard the ironclads and some melta tacs if they have transports hiding their infantry otherwise we drop flamer assault squads instead of the melta tacs. Vulkan probably will go with the sternguard to help their effectiveness after they blow their combis on some MC or pop a few on a tank.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6804665.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6804665.page GMT 1850 MSU Drop Pod Salamanders You should take a stalker instead of the thunderfire, that will help.

Also i would drop two of the assault squads so you can get full tac squads. And i would drop the locator beacons off of the dreads, itll spare you some points. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6805059.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6805059.page GMT 1850 MSU Drop Pod Salamanders TFC on the first turn you lose right?

You are wrong. If he has no models on the table at the end of his turn he loses. So he's got 6 pods coming in he should be alright. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6805361.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6805361.page GMT 1850 MSU Drop Pod Salamanders

One game turn consists of two player turns. Its on the first few pages of the rulebook.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6805367.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6805367.page GMT 1850 MSU Drop Pod Salamanders http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6805508.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6805508.page GMT 1850 MSU Drop Pod Salamanders

The main plan is to largely ignore the flyers since they will likely get one good round of shooting off on me before being forced to zoom off. I had an extra 100 so I grabbed a TFC. My problem with the stalker is that if the enemy is remotely competent he will just shoot it first and kill the one thing that can reliably damage his fliers. If I had points for two of them or a stormtalon I'd grab them]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6806804.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6806804.page GMT 1850 MSU Drop Pod Salamanders cmd squad with combi weapons instead of the sternguard. Should save a few points since you expect them to die the turn after they show up]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6807364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6807364.page GMT 1850 MSU Drop Pod Salamanders TFC for two stalkers to hide out of LOS and/or in reserves.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6807870.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593926/6807870.page GMT
