I decided to go a different route with my Doom Eagles, mostly because originally I thought that land speeders performed better then what they do and I was planning to do squadrons of 3. So I thought I would go with Trust your battle-brother and No mercy, no respite and Eye to eye and Death before dishonor instead. Yes I know that these selections are Cheese, but I figure if I am going to do it, go all the way.
1500pt army
HQ is a Reclusiarch (112 pts.) equipped with bolt pistol, bionics, frag grenades, and a jump pack. The Reclusiarch will be attached to one of the assault squads.
Tactical Squad Alpha is 10 troopers (298 pts.) they have the true grit/counter attack and furious charge. The squad is equipped with frag grenades and one trooper has a Missile launcher and one trooper has a melta gun. The Squad is mounted in a rhino for rapid deployment, and the rhino has heavy armor and smoke launchers.
Tactical Squad Beta is 10 troopers (298 pts.) they have the true grit/counter attack and furious charge. The squad is equipped with frag grenades and one trooper has a Missile launcher and one trooper has a melta gun. The Squad is mounted in a rhino for rapid deployment, and the rhino has heavy armor and smoke launchers.
Assault Squad Charlie is 9 troopers (262 pts.) they have the true grit/counter attack and furious charge. Two troopers are equipped with plasma pistols.
Assault Squad Delta is 9 troopers (262 pts.) they have the true grit/counter attack and furious charge. Two troopers are equipped with plasma pistols.
Devastator Squad Echo is 5 troops (268 pts.) they have the true grit/counter attack. Four of the marines are equipped with missile launchers. The squad is mounted in a Razorback with a twin-linked las cannon, heavy armor, and smoke launchers.
The main disadvantage of this force is size, I am sacrificing about 200 points for the true grit/counter attack and furious charge combo. But I think it will pay for its self in versatility.
Comments and thoughts are more then welcome.
