well, here is the plan, since it is my understanding that I can use my hood from any range. I will set up my Inquisitor with my IG HQ. My IG HQ will be set up as follows. Chimera parked horizontally with some forest, building something just to give me more cover. Directly behind it, my Basilisk, sort of like a big "T" with my mortar squads surrounding my Bassie, so if someone Deep Strikes, they cant assault it. My IG and Inquisitor filling in the gaps along with a nearby squad so there is a complete circle of bodies around it. My HQ will be out of LoS since it is the strength of this army.
I will then place a Gunline of infantry squads, utilizing cover as much as possible with my Leman Russ, and Demolisher holding the flanks, to give people something to think about if they try to push up either side.
Mission permitting all Vets and Sent, along with the 4 flamer command squad (depending on oponent) will Deep strike and either hold key ground or fry optimal targets.
So with that in mind, I might just do as you suggest and take a cheap lord for the Hood. |
