Brother Ariman Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 assuming: bare bones retinue half strength terminator squad 2x full squad no upgrades on power armor squads 2x stormtroopers as listed above with chimeras and 3 dreads with assorted point values you come up to a total of over 1500.

ntgcleaner Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 for having so little amount of options for the DH, there are a ton of different views! I play a 1250 list with 2 LR's and 2 rhinos. You are right, 2 Rhinos, each with 5 IST's who have 2 meltas is the way to use IST's - my Tau friend keeps saying "why don't you put more than 5 in there?" then I go destroy his tank and stop caring about the IST's... Actions speak louder than words. My personal General rule of thumb is to have at least 1 lascannon (that can fire every round) per 500 points. I have a main 1250 list with 4 lascannons, but I really only fire ~2.3 shots per round.

eb693 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 My personal General rule of thumb is to have at least 1 lascannon (that can fire every round) per 500 points. I have a main 1250 list with 4 lascannons, but I really only fire ~2.3 shots per round. I concur. DH really do lack effective anti-tank beyond lascannons; I normally run 2 GHLR and one LRC at 1500 points, which can deal with most mechanised lists. However, against tank-heavy guard, it stands little to no chance. The last time I played such a list it turned into a really painful battle of attrition that we eventually abandoned due to frustration.
