Wow, very enlightening
I'll do some work on this list and re-post it later tonight.
I'm considering dropping the Hardened Fighters, I'm only using it on the two Sentinels, in favor of Iron Diciplin and upgrading the HQ to Heroic to boost the Leadership of the list. Amazing how much sense something makes when you write it out
I had forgotten to buy indirect for the Basilisk, :|
The whole CC orientated thing was a way to try to get some use out for those Power Fists since I bought the models, thought they looked cool
this was now a planned or play tested army, just a random collection of what looked like cool models.
No problem dropping Hardened Fighters and Jungle Fighters, I'd like to get away from the "Catachan Cliche". They all look like them anyway
(
I wanted to have infiltrating so Veterans is definatly the way to go :yes: I'm going to drop some of my meltas in with them, if that works? I need some suggestion for the size and loadout of the three Hardened Vet Squads. One Melta model spare for each for starters.
I had to have the Ogryns, they are just gnarly looking, probably a throwback from my Chaos addiction, gotta love those abhumans :x But they can go, they just look like trouble makers on my shelf.
Drop troops looked like a really good doctrine and would give me the opportunity to model an aircraft for display as well.
I promise to read the article on doctrins very soon :yes:
The special weapons were planned to be infiltrated into cover and used to shoot with the two snipers and then the additional lasguns when an enemy came into range and then throw the demo charge at then before being assaulted or making a retreat. Might not have worked
better to know now.
I had planned to make the Infantry Platoons mobile, although weak CC I know, but if they are going to stand and shoot I might as well spread one of the two anti-tank squads I have attached to the HQ through them for now. I plan to get some Mortars in the future and maybe some autocannons but mortars look cooler. All the heavy weapons I do have are the old metal ones I've salvaged from junk I got in trades :shifty: I'm all about recycling.
Switching to Power weapons does make sense, the Power fists were only S6 so kinda useless. I just got them because they matched the leader I had, who is getting swapped out too now. Power weapons are cheap :w00t:
I'm switching up to one Infantry Platoon with a ML+Plasma combo in each squad and putting my third missile in an armoured fist unit instead of having a second Infantry Platoon. The Veterans have to come from somewhere. Also could use some help with the load out of the AF squad. I have a Melta model to use in it already.
I'm taking out the lascannon Sentinel, to make room for roughriders, and I'm keeping the Hardened Fighters on the flaming Sentiniels as you suggest. I like the look of sentiniels too much
I have to keep the three multilaser sentiniels. With Drop trooper they should be a little more disruptive :ninja:
Rough Riders are looking promising, there is one set of Catachan legs that looks like it will fit great on a load of spare LOTR horses, can they be fielded on round 40mm bases though? I'll be starting with just five for starters but unit composition advise is again appreciated.
Fixed the oversight on the Basilisk
I will drop the Storm Bolter on the Leman Russ and add smoke but will leave the HB conversion for the one I'm still building for later. Noted.
Demolisher is now Smoking!
Hellhounds have never been a tank I was particularly impressed with, look wise, but I'm considering them now but it will be a while before I get one if I do.
I appreciate criticism when it is as productive as yours. I hope you give me as much feedback on my revision
Cheers!
