Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think this is a good start for a small air mobile army. I'd take pictures but you've seen what I've got lying around. crying

That and every shot I was taking was denying armor saves. If the dice had been more in your favor, I think it would have gone a lot differently for you. You had me well outnumbered.

Also, Orders appear to be absolutely badass. Again, though, it depends on the dice.

I'd really like to see how it looks, especially alongside that T-bolt of yours. And as before, I'd be more than happy to help with any army building. wink

Always a little too eager to help. I was thinking something along the lines of a small rapid insertion force geared towards up close fighting, something this army really isn't suited for! sweatdrop

HQ
Command squad: carapace, power weapon, meltagun, medic, banner, vox (180)

Troops
Veterans: power weapon, shotguns, vox, 3x flamer (100)
Veterans: lasguns, vox, autocannon, 3x grenade launcher (100)

Fast Attack
Scout Sentinel: multi-laser

Valkyrie: lascannon, hellstrike missiles (115)

Valkyrie: multi-laser, rocket pods, heavy bolters (140)
Valkyrie: multi-laser, rocket pods, heavy bolters (140)

Heavy Support

Thunderbolt: 4x bomb (220)

1000 points

The Thunderbolt is filler but I'm kinda hell-bent on fielding it sooner or later as I'd hate having such a lovely model collect dust all the time. If need be I can swap the Thunderbolt for something more conventional like a pair of Hydra's and some more men, but I more or less want to stick to the theme of a rapid insertion force.

You sure are endorsing those Hobbit assassins a lot. I guess they are a better option when it comes down to it but I thought of taking a Scout Sentinel as a swift recon ranging ahead of the main force. Kinda pointless though seeing as Valkyries also gain scout but at a much better speed. sweatdrop

So if I were to drop my Thunderbolt I'd be stuck with 220 points to spend on something like this:

Platoon command: power fist, vox, flamer, meltagun (65)
Infantry squad: grenade launcher, autocannon, vox (70)
Infantry squad: grenade launcher, autocannon, vox (70)

I could also drop the Sentinel then and take a full blister of Hobbits.

Hmmm, I'll need to think this over.

hellhound/devil dog/banewolf got all their weapons covered in a new box or is it conversion?

Hey Mel, I'm surprised you didn't post these yet: Imperial Guard Cities of Death "tactics" and strategems.

I like this strategem and conversion the best:
