Zhukov Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 well HQ and troops should be about enough. The biggest problem i see is your Heavy Support: 1 is almost nvr good at this point. More oblits? another Defiler? or maybe even another Land Raider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warp Angel Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I don't see a lack of much but mobility and the rest of the Obliterator squad. You've got almost no way to deliver your army to your opponent. One Rhino and one Land Raider aren't enough transport. - Thousand Sons are horrible without something to give them mobility. It's entirely possible that you move no more than 12" total in a 5 turn game if you have bad dice luck. - Berzerkers need a transport to have any real chance of getting to the enemy in significant numbers. - Plague Marines... meh... park em on an objective and make your opponent pay for getting to them. - Noise Marines do okay footslogging, assuming they have the weapon upgrades. If not, they're no better off than regular CSM. - CSM do better from 12" than they do from further out, and are vulnerable while footslogging. - Terminators need a delivery system to get into their most effective combat zones: 12" and assaulting. This means putting them in the Raider (not transporting any of the other options from above) or using an icon to put them in the right place, something you need to have to get near your enemy... requiring that the icon equipped squad have a transport to get aross the table fast enough. Sure, you can theme out or "enhance" your army by adding demon princes, defilers, more of whatever. But your "basic" units lack the support that they need to be effective. My opinion: Transports.

Chaos Terminator Nero Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah transports i normally send my berzerkers in the landraider with karn. either the thousand sons or the pocessed in the rhino. i deepstrike my terminators and raptors but with more transport i could get the rest of my troops amongst it because the foot slogging is leaving my transported troops open for a long time. so 3 more rhinos should do it???

Warp Angel Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Not sure you need 3 more... not EVERYTHING needs to be mechanized, but more transport is more better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
