So I've come up with a 1850 list and wanted some input:
HQ
CCS w/Lascannon
Tank commander w/Vanquisher+Lascannon + Executioner w/sponson HB
2 commissars w/1 power fist
psyker
Troops
PCS w/4 flamer
2 IS w/2 AC + GL
IS w/AC + GL Chimera w/dozer hf
30 Conscripts
PCS w/4 meltaguns in Chimera w/dozer hf
2 IS w/2 AC
Fast
2 Vendettas (seperate)
Heavy
Wyvern
Demolisher w/Lascannon
Aegis line
Break down of the list:
The CCS will sit at the back of the Aegis giving out orders and offering up some support fire. The Tank commander & co will sit back too and try to fit in behind Aegis if possible and use the split fire order for that extra flexibility. Would love to have sponson plasmas but needed to go with HB to make the list viable.
The flamer PCS will ride in a Vendetta. The IS's will be split into 2 blobs of 20 so a bit more survivability against flamers. I might split them down further since the Psyker will go in IS for chaff, who will be giving twin linked goodness to the Executioner and the platoons.
The Commissar with the power fist will go with the conscripts. The power fist gives the unit some power if they need to distract something like a Riptide or Eldar equivilant. Also cos 30 guys with FRFSRF and prescience, holding/storming objectives depending on what needs to be done.
As for the two units in Chimeras: The PCS will act as backup command for orders and a pillbox. I know only 2 models can shoot from hatch but with meltas the whole point is to drive straight up to the enemy to that 2D6 range and only BS 3 hence 4 meltas instead of just 2. The IS in the 2nd Chimera. 3 main things I wanna achieve with this: 1) In conjuction or even by itself can be stuck somewhere in front to help absorb charges and general cover. 2) 2 units can shoot from it so AC and GL can still shoot out and 3) Can help take objectives with the PCS's.
Need I say anything for the pair of Vendetta's? Twin linked lascannon fun and transporting.
The Wyvern again some excellent anti-infantry artillery and the Demolisher with Lascannon for 10pts yes please. Given the range of the Demolisher it'll push forward and perhaps make way for the Chimeras.
Some of this esp the IS in the Chimera and conscripts w/commissar and PF, this was inspired through watching some battle reports and seemed to work real well for those players. Figured I make the best of both worlds and make a kinda hybrid thing going.
So ye critisice away.
Thanks
