I would split the 2 sentinels into 2 squadrons. I was thinking of swapping the grenade launchers for plasma guns and the missile launchers for heavy bolters, and then giving the sentinels autocannons. Thoughts?

Well at this level you have 1 officer - so Iron Discipline would be useful and drop all the veteran sergeants - nodody is likely to be that far from him - maybe an exception for the AF squad.

Missile Launchers and Autocannons are quite useful in CP as they can hit most of the armour you're likely to see.

Plasma Guns - I have reservations about weapons that can blow up my my own troops at this level because what is an acceptable accident in 1500+ could really bite when you've only 500 to play with I think.

Here would be my version of your list.


Infantry Platoon

Command Squad
JO w/ Boltgun, Iron Discipline, Missile Launcher
62pts

Infantry Squad
Grenade launcher, Autocannon.
83pts

Infantry Squad
Grenade launcher, Autocannon.
83pts


Armoured Fist Squad
Vet. Sgt. Boltgun, Grenade launcher, Heavy Bolter
86pts

Chimera w/ multi-laser and heavy bolter.
85pts

Total 399pts

Then add

Fast Attack

2 x Cadian Sentinels, Autocannon
100pts

Total 499pts

Just one suggestion anyway.




(What autocannon fixation????)
