Tactical Reasoning:
- Choas Lord and Raptors provide a highly mobile assault punch as well as my 3rd anti-tank backup (Lord = metla bombs, Raptors = krak grens & plasma pistol)
- The troops and rhinos can be moved quickly from cover to cover under armoured plate and then make the best use of the available cover with stealth (+1 cover save). 4 Plasma guns provide anti-marines, tough creatures and 2nd anti-tank backup. Holding off wrong using heavy weapons allows them to keep moving & fire effectively right from dismounting the rhinos. 12 Boltguns provide anti-light infantry and, with plasma guns, allow Move --> Fire --> Assault at any given point.
- The two Predators provide a mobile heavy weapons support for the army. The addition of mutated hull (+1 armour in all locations) gives them a very tough 14 armour on the front that will (hopefully) be very hard to destroy in a 1000pt battle; it's expensive but the hope is that the result will mean they are more difficult to kill than a Havoc squad.
- The Autocannon/x2 Heavy bolter Predator provides decent medium armour troop bashing and also backup anti-tank/tough creature support. Searchlight enables the Lacannon'ed Predator to fire at Night with full effect every turn at the greatest armoured threats whilst the lower importance Predator is made vunerable to return fire (Searchlight allows enemy forces to target the model using it at any range too)
- The Twin-linked Lascannon/x2 Lascannons provides my primary anti-tank platform and will be dedicated to bashing just enemy vehicles / tough creatures. It's a lot of eggs in one basket (at 175pts) but I'm hoping the mutated hull should allow it to survive a lot of punishment.
Concerns which I might need help with:
1) Lack of troop numbers
2) If Rhinos will be used effectively
3) Lack of any additional assult units
4) If the Lascannon'ed Predator gets destroyed!
Thoughts and comments very welcome!![]()

not one bolter in sight
) but I wanteed a greater theme to my army - mobile heavy support sounded great!
