1x Captain with bike, power sword and gorgon chain - 170 pts
5x Command squad mounted on bikes with 1 apothecary and 4 with grav guns and storm shields - 230 pts
2x Dreadnoughts each with twin linked las and missile launcher - 250 pts
1x 5 man tactical with lascannon and dedicated rhino - 125 pts
1x 5 man tactical with lascannon and dedicated rhino - 125 pts

This leaves me with 100 points to throw around i was thinking an assault squad to back up the command squad

any input would be greatly appreciated ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518101.page GMT [1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list
Personally I'd give the captain artificer armour and a power fist and maybe lose a storm shield or two to compensate.

Having the lascannons in the rhinos means they can't move and shoot well. Not necessarily a problem but something to consider. You could keep the rhinos stationary, or dismount the marines and have razorbacks, or go melta with rhinos instead of the lascannons for more mobility.

Best plan is to play and see what happens as a lot depends how competitive you opponent's list is.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518311.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518311.page GMT [1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list MM for tank hunting or HF for clearing hordes.

Agree with GC about the LCs on the tac squad, a bit pointless imo. Maybe one with a melta/combi melta sarg and one with flamer/combi flamer sarg?

Also not sure every biker needs a SS, couild save a few ponts there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518316.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518316.page GMT Re:[1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list ss to create a wall with the remaining ones to soak up fire?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518335.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518335.page GMT [1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list SS is mainly because its unlikely that all 5-6 of them will be hit at once. Hence you can tank with maybe the first 1 or 2 and leave the rest towards the back.
You could also give the captain a SS and LoS all the front attacks on him. Leave one biker with a SS and save the rest.
If the Rhino moves full speed you snap shot only.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518347.page GMT [1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list ss idea a go gives me enough points to squeeze in another dread or a sizable assault squad ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518352.page GMT [1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list

would running an assault squad down field with the bikes be a good idea or would they just get shot down easily do to be a softer target than the bikes?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518362.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518362.page GMT [1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list imo. Unless your terrain has lots of LoS and hard cover.
How much are you going to spend on the assault squad? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518406.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518406.page GMT Re:[1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518424.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518424.page GMT Re:[1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list SS, SS on captain and one Dread in a pod.

1x Captain with bike, power fist and gorgon chain - 185 pts

1x Dreadnought with twin linked hf, power fist and drop pod - 140 pts

that all comes to 890 pts leaving an awkward amount]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8518448.page GMT Re:[1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list

Scouts arent amazing but they can get a good cover save and hold a backfield objective. And put out a bit of firepower.
Bike squad is solid and the captain is a hard hitter barring 2+ saves.
Rhino marines take obj and have obsec.

I would recomend always taking a combi-weapon that matches your special weapon in each Tac squad.

I also play a lot of Decurion Necrons, and my answer is Grav. Grav-Cents are simply amazing, and I take them in every game I play.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8519872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8519872.page GMT Re:[1000] - Iron Hands - Experimental first list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8520113.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683521/8520113.page GMT
