hi,
I'm going to be doing an update for this thread soon but my computer has been down for the best part of a month so havn't been able to sort it out. There is a tactica in the completed tacticas forum that may be of use until I can get everything sorted!

Hope that helps

That is good to hear. I hope everything goes well with the move.

It would be a useful addition to note what boxed sets come with extra sets of legs (and thus extra men) The Valkyrie comes with 2 door gunners that can be used and each tank comes with a tank commander that can be used as another trooper.

The Valkyrie kit is also a lot of fun to put together!

At least, that's a good thing if you enjoy putting the models together...

This is all under a 1,000 point game. Im aiming for a mechanized/vehicle heavy army. Since my friend and I plan on doing 2 v 2 games, and his strategy is to camp in cover and fire, I would like my forces to be able to move up, take a position, and allow his chaos units to move up. Originaly I planned on getting:
Storm Trooper (melta & G launcher) 100pts
Sentinel (Hvy Flamer) 40pts
Sentinel (Lascannnon) 50 pts
Vendetta Gunship (2 sponsons w/ Hvy Boltor) 140pts
Leman russ exterminator 150pts
Leman russ exterminator 150pts
Tech Priest Enginseer 45pts
Hvy Wep Squad (Auto Cannon) 65pts
Inf Squad (2 men with flamers) 60pts
Inf Squad (Replace 4 men for 2 hvy weps with mortors) 60pts
Ratlings (plus one model) 40pts
Veterans (forward sentries) 100pts

See now here was my strategy. While my friends chaos units stay bunkerd up, i was gona have most of my units move up and set up a firebase.
Have the leman russ exterminators run defense for the mortors, auto cannon, and tech priest. Ill have the storm troopers and the ratlings run up one flank, and the veterans and inf squad with flamers the other flank.

Meanwhile the the gunship is just strafing the enemy line, keeping them in cover and a stationary targets for the mortors. If they do try to advance the gunship will cut them down, and if they try to move ther vehicles up to my men flanking then the sentinel with the las cannon can either go try to make it to them, thought (im not to sure) i think that the vendetta comes with a lascannon or 2, wich could take them out.

Since the infantry moves slow, my sentinels will be able to run around flaming infantry and lascannon any vehicle in sight before the rest of my force moves up. Of course anyone with a brain brought a anti-vehicle wepone and thats were the ratling goes "oh look....a head...BOOOOM HEADSHOT

!"

If i were to encounter anything tough, I could stop my advance, put my sentinals back at the firebase (get some repairs from the tech priest) and send the exterminators to go get rid of whatever problem i ran into.

So thats my plan, critisize it...oh and i have a question, Can i make a leman russ exterminator squad? releaving a hvy support choice for another thing. and if i can, how many are in the squad and what is a good choice to put in the open slot? (hehehehe i said slot)
