BOBMAKENZIE Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Totally Insane thought that I am sure is utterly un original. This is what I get for working at 5am. Air Cav themed army centered around tycho's company? Why? Cause we all know Tycho loves to go fast (<3 Lucifer Assault Force <3) Something Like: Tycho 10 Sternguard 10 Tac with some stuff 10 Tac with some stuff X LandSpeeders 3 Storm Ravens Where X = enough to fill in your points. Using the Tempest (Is that the one from FW? The Orbital Fightery one?) Or even like little converted mini Ravens as Speeders? Just a thought seemed like a cool theme.

Brother-Captain Devlonir Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Why do I have this all-time favorite movie scene in my head now.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx7XNb3Q9Ek I think the concept is really cool, especially with Tacts/Sternguard in the Ravens.. They drop them on strategic, well defended locations and then go on to do the killing themselves. Not sure how productive it is.. but it sure has the awesome factor going for it!

SGK Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I like it! though a certain Wagnarian tune is in my head right now perhaps add some priests to each squad and definitely some heavy flamers to the Sternguard for that Napalm in the morning Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216594-air-cav/#findComment-2583772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Nice idea but if you go with a fast army shouldn't you include some squads of Assault Marines? Working together with a land speeder with melta-gun I'd say they'd be able to deal out death to most light and medium infantry and even light vehicles.

My theory is if Tycho Had access to jump packs for his company he would have taken one for himself?

SGK Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 True, I just figured he had an affinity for mechanised warfare. However you could still take two squadrons of three speeders and still leave room for a tasty VV squad or even get some SG for jump pack goodness, oh and I would Imagine that the thirds Assault marines still have their packs . I really like the Idea of Tycho with Sternguard they seem to have a synergy , and the idea of escorting Storm Ravens with Speeders is too good!

Brother-Captain Devlonir Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Actually... putting a Tactical in one Stormraven to be dropped on an objective and hold it, while the other has a JP Assault Squad in it which will jump into the fray somewhere it is needed sounds like a nice thing to do too. But I am afraid the 1 RAS will be quickly outnumbered in assault and will be a suicide unit then. So I understand staying with all Tacticals there. Maybe add 1 RAS in a Stormraven instead of a Tactical and indeed Sang Guard or Vang Vets or even a JP Honour Guard for some more assaulty goodness might balance the list out a bit more.

shatter Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Stick a priest in Tycho's ride with the sternguard. He can be like a US army company chaplain. Very 'nam... and the FnP rolls and FC will serve the sternguard & Tycho well.

BOBMAKENZIE Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Very 'nam... Ain't found a way to kill me yet. Eyes burn with stinging sweat.... (I hope you're happy now ;_:) This will be have to be something I do once the storm raven comes out or once I work up the energy to build 2 more Stormravens. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216594-air-cav/#findComment-2584910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
