A couple of notes (maybe this is my meta, maybe it isnt). Catachan rerolls don’t make a huge difference. Cadian reroll 1s is GOOD, but the tanks can’t move to get the most dakka. This means the tanks are likely to get stuck on LOS, or in melee. The plan now is going to be to use tallarn regiment tactics and keep the tanks on the move with no BS penalty.

Plasma sponsons are TERRIBLE for the points. Heavy bolters seem to do about the same damage, and are reliable unlike D3 shots.

Let me know why you think, remember everything in this list has OPSEC.

Old list had an infantry screen, but in my trial runs having two tank commanders pushing 5", then moving another 6" (tallarn order) and still shooting 40 shots is explosively good.
Keeping starting BS is very strong now that there are even more -1 to hit units floating around in the game. Every +1 to hit is major. In 2000 point games, I plan on all of my tanks being tallarn tank commanders solely to keep on the move and shooting twice and full BS.

The Old Grudges warlord trait is extremely powerful... (Reroll failed wounds on target in 6" of warlord)
I played a 1000pt game against Death Guard. It ended after killing mortarion turn 2. Infantry screened, tanks unloaded.
Rolling bad, he still succumbed to the volume of fire.
Lost 2 tanks and a squad in the exchage, taking out Morty and 2 laser dreds.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9679497.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9679497.page GMT [1000] - Astra Militarum - Mechanized ITC Tourney List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9679708.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9679708.page GMT [1000] - Astra Militarum - Mechanized ITC Tourney List In the event that I cannot get to an objective, I suppose that I am in trouble.
My focus would have to be protecting those infantry squads. As my enemy would have the objective of killing them.

What kind of write up are you looking for?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9680654.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9680654.page GMT Re:[1000] - Astra Militarum - Mechanized ITC Tourney List

I'd like to use big guns! Tanks, Basilisk(s), Shadowsword, and heavy weapon teams.

With that said, I know there are things that work, and don't work in the game. I'm looking for a list that is very sit back and shoot, and let the tanks do the moving around.

This 1000 point list is doing well on 20, and has won 1/1 game in person so far.
That being said, what works in my meta might not in yours. Don’t go all in, build a collection based on why you need based off of experience. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9681765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9681765.page GMT [1000] - Astra Militarum - Mechanized ITC Tourney List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9683795.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9683795.page GMT [1000] - Astra Militarum - Mechanized ITC Tourney List FAQ you can only have one option be a VEHICLE keyword. That means I would probably be taking an infantry squad and my warlord.

It costs 3CP, which would pretty much eat up all of my (4) CPs that I have available.
I could take the warlord trait that lets me reroll spent CPs, but I always end up regretting that. Rerolling wounds in a 6" bubble (at one unit only) is MUCH more versatile.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9684425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/743523/9684425.page GMT [1000] - Astra Militarum - 100% Mechanized ITC Tourney List

That's a weakness of the list, and I have to accept that. I could drop a tank and toss in 90 conscripts. But the reality is they usually end up being easy victory points.

With a special order discount I think I got 90 for just under $150.

If someone says they are monopose, say theyre supposed to be: they're "Born Soldiers".

With an airbrush I put them together and got a base paint in an afternoon..
