Seems good to me, if not a little too "short ranged." Paskisher is always fun and wyverns are by far the best buy in the whole book, although I would definitely split them up into at least 2 squadrons, so you don't have to fire at the same target. Its a shame the Chimera got nerfed, vets just aren't quite as good as they used to be. I don't know that in this particular list the assassin will pay off, I guess it depends on your meta -- but, I guess if people abuse invis, etc., it might help out. I might consider dropping her for an Aegis Defense Line to hide your wyverns behind... maybe throw some cammo netting on there.


Thanks for the feedback. Up until now I've ran three squads of melta vets in Chimeras, but they're just not as good as they need to be. Two is enough to work with objectives with the MT deep striking in back field. The reason for taking the Assassin is due to the local meta of psykers vs my lack of any. At one point I put a Primaris Psyker with each vet squad, but it just wasn't worth the points in the end. Depending on what I'm up against, the Culexus can easily be swapped out for another Russ. I know I'm playing against DA on Sunday, so psychic nulling is needed.

The Aegis Defense Line is something that I'm looking into getting soon. I've been dropping them behind buildings and going ahead without the LOS benefit. 12 blasts make up for the loss of accuracy I think.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697863/8803937.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697863/8803937.page GMT Re:[1,500] - Astra Militarum / Militarum Tempestus / Officio Assassinorium ADL + cammo netting will give them a straight up 3+ cover save against all shooting... unless some combi-melta sternguard drop pod in behind them, etc., but that's what bubble wrap is for. I think (even though they're kinda cheesy at this point) Void Shield Generators are worth looking into for any and all shooty/armor guard lists. You should check out the psykana division formation in the Mont'Ka book, it's pretty powerful... harnessing on 2+... increased mastery levels for the primaris.. fun stuff. Power gamers have been using them to summon tons of daemons (heresy!) on 2+ ... if you perils? who cares, the commissar just smokes one of the wyrdvane psykers (you have 5-10 of them, so no big deal).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697863/8803999.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697863/8803999.page GMT Re:[1,500] - Astra Militarum / Militarum Tempestus / Officio Assassinorium

I've noticed that cropping up in various tournament lists throughout the forums. I do have the Mont'Ka book, and it's not going to break the bank to pick up two more squads of Wyrdvanes. Out of curiosity, what Daemons would best compliment this kind of AM force? I definitely have a soft spot for anything Nurgle.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697863/8804004.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697863/8804004.page GMT Re:[1,500] - Astra Militarum / Militarum Tempestus / Officio Assassinorium AM isn't good at CC, so bloodletters or plaguebarers would defintely work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697863/8804062.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697863/8804062.page GMT [1,500] - Astra Militarum / Militarum Tempestus / Officio Assassinorium GW for complete 'Start Collecting' boxes, so there's my excuse. I had a brief look through the Daemon codex today, so I have some idea of where to start.

Would the Herald of Nurgle or Plague Drones be of any use? I haven't had the time to look up what I can actually do with summoning...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697863/8805173.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697863/8805173.page GMT
