Tear me a new one.

ok tittle says it all, im stepping into the unknown depths of 40k, with the fall in fansty interest i am willing to give 40k a go to see what it is like on the other side.

I know i have said it is 40gay etc, n that wont change im just gonna go with the flow as i like how scenarios are quite fun.

ok ive mocked up a list i have been mulling over since last storm over stirling just have not bother to take any further. please tell me drawbacks and what should be changed.

the first one i can see is the lack of troop choices but with enough offence i think it could be ok....

shrike

librian, episocilary...., termi armour, storm shield

10man marine, rocket, melta, rhino
10man marine, rocket, melta, rhino

5 vanguard vets, 4 storm shields, 2 with PW, 1 PF, 1 thunder hammer. champ got relic blade. All with jump packs

5 assult termies, 3 hammer,2 lightning claw
land raider

demolisher, with shield and extra armour.


Thoughts thats for 1750...

Expansion to 2500 includes chapter master with a unit of honour guard with relic blades in a land raider.


tactic idea is with shrike you have fleet, so give good charging scope for the landraider termies. also with shrike and the vanguard infiltrating he can pretty much charge were he wants the turn he comes down due to fleet.

The demolisher is for horde and marine armies, with the marines for objectives and support.

One question if a rhino moves can you pop the hatch and shoot a rocket launcher?

[Asurya]

Can't other anything that basic advise on the list, which seems OK. The weakest part is the 5 Vangard. The squad is very small and would probably die quickly to a round of shooting or a drawout combat.

As for the Rhino and Missile Launchers. That's a no, is the vehicle moves, those inside shooting out count as moving also.

[marlowe]

Ok cool and yea vanguard can be shot easily and that why shrike and they infiltrate somewhere less shooty.

I also have to check up the infiltrate rules see when they come in etc.

[chief]

The infiltrate rule is you can set up the unit 18 inches from enemy units

[marlowe]

Yea but is it 1st turn/ 2nd or choose...

You do it after deployment has happen.

So you set up then your oppent (or other way depend who win the dice roll).

Then before the game start, you get to set up 18 inch away from the oppent with any Inflty unit. Like your Dark Elf shades with there scout is it??

Or since you have Inflty abilty you can also flank. Basicly your until will come on from reserve & from the table side (1-2 being one side, 3-4 being the other, 5-6 anywhere you wish).

Also with Shrike you can also get a first turn assault by Inflty & because he has fleet of foot??

[marlowe]

Yea that is the plan but if I get first turn they could be pretty susceptable to shooting so will have to see how tactics work! If I can mash togeter an army want a game on thurs night in gw Jamie?
