Nothing schedule for 1850 right now, but have been throwing around some ideas based on how the last one went and making an effort to explore allies more thoroughly.

It's a parking lot list, and not all that creative of one, but I think this will get the job done for my style of play. This is a mix of some net lists with what I have been playing BA as for a bit. I think the combination is very complimentary. Jumpers can hide behind the Chimeras to counter or for protection before launching their own assault. Should be enough plasma to take care of 2+ units and the meltaguns take care of any sill Land Raiders someone still thinks to bring along.
i'm loving IG in 6th edition Chris, more models on the table seems to be the way to go.
ReplyDeleteIf you have some points to free up you may want to make that CCS 4 plasma guns or give it a medic for FNP. (pesky gets hot rolls)
You could actually free up some points changing your PCS to 4 flamers instead of 3 plasma guns, that way their BS 3 doesn't work against you and 4 flamers in a chimera against some mobbed up IG, tau, orcs, etc can be quite the threat.
just a thought,

Some really good thoughts there Jason. I'm loathe to loose that much plasma, but agree I'd get more out of the flamers that way. I can drop the scout squad for some more points for another plasma on the command squad and maybe medic upgrade...would even have points for Weapons on the assault squad if I did that...hmmm.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the Stormraven for?
ReplyDeleteThe Stormrven provides anti-air, long range support (missiles, and las) and carries the scouts for late game objective grabbing. That was the original plan at least.
ReplyDeleteMaybe drop the platoon and go with 2 veteran squads instead? Should give me 1 less Chimera, but I can properly outfit each squad with the right guns.
