add that 2nd meltagun into the squad along with an apothecary. (keep him well back and he should stay un-engaged allowing you to use his abilities in assaults!)+++

Alright my plan here is to load up the Rhinos with the Master and squad and the Vets and charge across the board to chop stuff while my bikers should either turbo boost or charge the first turn, they are there to tank hunt and to deal with infantry. The twin plasma squad is going to try and grab a decent position with cover and kill stuff while the heavy weapons sqauds will sit in back and shoot.
I face mostly marines, one DE, adn one GK guy usually but I want this list to be able to face all comers. I am open to any helpful advice. Thanks |
not a bad start, but it could do with some polishing...
my biggst worry are all the small tactical squads. it's very easy to kill 3 space marines... once that happens, you lose a scoring unit and therefore you cannot claim/contest objectives. more bodies especially in that front line squad are needed!
also, don't think of your bikes as assault troops. if you want a fast assault unit, then take assault marines! bikers are simply T5 tactical marines. sure the chaplain-led charge will be effective, but you can't survive subsiquint rounds as you don't have the numbers...
cheers!
