I'll probably remove the plasma cannons as they aren't really doing much good I suppose.

Also, one thing that's missing above is that every tank will have camo netting, the idea being that they will sit behind the defense line and get 3+ cover saves.

Woulda anyone recommend replacing some stuff with an imperial knight or a bane blade? Or any other changes? One issue I do think I have is against melee units that deep strike.

Also I believe that the engine seer allows me to select one unit and let it fire other gaks at full BS even though it has ordnance?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8810782.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8810782.page GMT [1750] - Astra Militarum - Local Tournament List

Now I'm genuinely a bit curious, what are the rules of the order in which weapons on a tank like a Leman Russ must fire?

Out of the baneblade and imperial knight go with the knight as its much cheaper and offers a nice way to stomp some invisible deathstars out of existence and the scariest unit that will attack and deepstrike is probably the shadowstrike kill team 10 meltabombs charging the turn they come in is bad news to any tank list and I personally have had a baneblade obliterated turn 1 by this, the knight will still get to hit back and stomp but its unlikely they will go for It keep the tank wrapped in troops if you play against this cause it will delete a squadron of tanks it chooses. The enginseer gives POTMS so one extra weapon may fire at full BS. Ordnance must be fired first as to prevent all the other weapons firing. If you are going to be short range with multi meltas pask is likely to be better off with the punisher due to a higher rear armour and 20 S5 rending shots with rerolls to pen is likely to make a bigger dent in most vehicles than 1 vanquisher cannon the exception to this would be high armour vehicles land raiders etc but if you add extra vanquishers keep him near pask for BS4 if you decide to remove sponsons than adding a bare bones infantry platoon could create some nice bubble wrap to deter some melee threats in a tournament faster moving units are likely to remove your aegis cover saves (drop pods in particular) so keeping a platoon of guys around the tanks will still give them a 4+ and the ability to keep mobile 100 points from the aegis will get you a nice mobile platoon to keep the tanks safe on the Valkyrie stick with the multi laser as that flyer wants to be targeting infantry with its missle pods I'm assuming 1 vet squad rides in Valkyrie and command squad in vendetta? If so investing in some flamers would be nice you could drop in burn some infantry on an objective and take it or kit them out for other means. If your looking to strip points I'd go with removing the manticore as much as it is a great vehicle I fail to see what it adds to the list that you don't already have.

Anyway just my opinion.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8811736.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8811736.page GMT [1750] - Astra Militarum - Local Tournament List dow tih an AM list like this is cross your fingers and hope you don't come up against SM with grav (not likely), Eldar with scatter lasers or D weapons (hmm), or IK (or anything else with a D weapon).... its just tough to make a decent AM list these days. I think you're missing out on wyverns, which are the best unit (for the cost) in the codex -- beyond that, drop pods will make a mess of your backfield if you let them get back there. Who are the objective grabbers in the list?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8813702.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8813702.page GMT Re:[1750] - Astra Militarum - Local Tournament List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8814233.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8814233.page GMT [1750] - Astra Militarum - Local Tournament List

I may throw an infantry platoon in there actually.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8817592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8817592.page GMT [1750] - Astra Militarum - Local Tournament List
It depends, I think from a general stand point the Wyvern can threaten multiple infantry units and score way more wounds than a manticore can. However the manticore will insti kill a whole lotta things out there, and can target armour (something better left to tanks or vets from my point of view). Recently I have been preferring the wyvern because it frees up points for other things. Manticore being 170 points, Wyvern being 65, you take the Wyvern and you have 105 points to play around with. You could kit out the vets with melta and the demo doctrine and go after some big game.

The idea is that I use the infantry to pad my tanks' flanks. What I'm wondering is if the sacrifice of the Manticore is worth the two veteran squads and a wyvern.

Alternatively I could throw in a sentinel squad or two instead of one of the veteran squads.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8819818.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8819818.page GMT [1750] - Astra Militarum - Local Tournament List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8821135.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8821135.page GMT [1750] - Astra Militarum - Local Tournament List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8824787.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/697932/8824787.page GMT
