My preference would be to drop the infantry squads to put special weapons on some of the other squads and cut some Stormtroopers to get extra points for weapons for them. Base kit can only get you so far.

i dont want to drop Stormtroopers cause both squads are going to be park of my spear-tip into enemy lines... i plan to deep strike em near heavy concentrations of enemies to score good hits and attract bullets.

Blackened Heart Sucubi Comp. Comm. Squad Creed & Kell, astropath, medic, vox, officer of fleet Comp. Comm. Squad Vox, Medic, Banner, astropath, Officer of fleet Stormtroopers(10) 2 squads Infantry Platoon Platoon Comm. Squad Vox, Medic, Commissar Infantry Squad(10) 5 squads Vox Heavy Wep. Squad 2 squads 3 Lascannons Infantry Platoon Platoon Comm. Squad Vox, Medic, Commissar Infantry Squad(10) 5 squads Vox Heavy Wep. Squad 2 squads 3 Lascannons i think thats it... If that is a full army then you are woefully undermanned. Especially if the 1st rank, 2nd rank fire order is what you are going after. Yes you have enough lasguns to pull it off, no you won't drop an awful lot without specials and other dedicated gun platforms. Some minor notes: * Astropaths and Officers of the Fleet cannot be stacked. So even if you have two, only one is in effect really. So no +2/-2 for reinforcements. * You also severely lack good anti-infantry heavy weapons. Going all lascannon will leave you very much exposed to horde armies and armies with some degree of mechanization. * Storm troopers are very pricey, especially two full squads of them. They are not that durable for what you have in mind - dropping ahead of the main force - they will drop like flies, especially now that their Hellguns have a reduced range. * If you really want to save points drop at least one Astropath, Officer of the Fleet and the two platoon medics, easily saving you 120 points that you can spend on twelve meltaguns or a load of grenade launchers and heavy bolters. * Invest in Ratlings. They are one of the best options in the codex.

other than my comments your correct Lt. Quote: Some minor notes: * Storm troopers are very pricey, especially two full squads of them. They are not that durable for what you have in mind - dropping ahead of the main force - they will drop like flies, especially now that their Hellguns have a reduced range. * Invest in Ratlings. They are one of the best options in the codex. *I have to strongly disagree with that quote about stormies, as long as your not stupid while using them they offer some of the best striking power in the game... no one (hopefully) is stupid enough to deploy them in the open and have them get raped by everything near by. stormies are the leading edge of your battle line, or they are your hole fillers or god forbid your flank. *Ratlings... Ratlings, well they do make nice snipers i just hate the way they get feilded, you don't need a squad of ten snipers thats stupid, they should be like the special weapon team units. three snipers in perfect because they are more flexable, i wouldn't feild ten snipers... they are not you bread winning units like a group of termies are, i mean really they just need to pin the buggers so you poor little dogfaced infrantry can pivot and blast um. thats my thoughts, and if you post some stupid a** thing about my grammer or how this is a stupid post i'm just guna say your retarded.

Hi, Kaserkin. Welcome to the guild.
Around here, we try to be a friendly community. I am sorry if Brookman got on you about grammar, but retaliation (especially on the internet) is better left alone unless it is a serious slight.

I'm still waiting for Forge World to get me that third squad of Elysians. I plan on turning those into the same type of spec ops commandos as your own conversion.
I'm also waiting for FW to release those new Elysian items, such as the seated passengers and extra heavy weapons.

Same old story then, that's too bad. You'd think FW would shape up with their next big thing coming up next year.
Your sig makes me feel aware of my own shape. crying

Lady Blodwynn Same old story then, that's too bad. You'd think FW would shape up with their next big thing coming up next year. Ha, speak of the devil and he shall make himself heard. I got an email from the store just now telling me that my squad has finally arrived. I might pick it up tomorrow and be done with it as soon as possible. That Beautiful Lady From Scotland Your sig makes me feel aware of my own shape. crying Nonsense! You have a marvellous and beautiful body that screams "Aphrodite" to me with longing whispers of desire. If I could write poetry I'd dedicate it to you. If I were a singer I'd sing out to you. If I were an artist I'd paint or sculpt with you as my muse. heart
