So are you going for a really competitive list here?

 

The problem as I see it is that if you remove the Land Raider then this list becomes a much simpler equation for your enemy - Stop the spartan and they win, let the spartan through and they probably lose. With the landraider alongside it they at least have a slight decision to make over which AV14 box of doom to shoot at. So given that, I'd keep the raider, or redesign the list a little to be more flexible. Right now this is a bit of a death star with scary air support.

 

I'd have thought you could get away with a mere 5 Firedrakes in the spartan with the Preator. Maybe add the primus medicae, beef up your tac squads, or build up some ground based ranged fire support with the left over points. You could also consider the explorator augary web option on the proteus - 8 scouting pyroclasts could be very useful, and a novel threat.

 

Also, why the heavy bolters on the rhinos? They don't seem to add much, and those little boxes are by FAR your enemies easiest kills - heavy flamers or combi meltas would be fluffy, but points efficiency wise, keep them plain.

Thx for the replys. I think that a smaller firedrake group is a real solid option. With the 10 its to much points and the opponent can try to avoid the group so the don't do much.

 

I will look into a medicare for the smaller group.

 

Maybe a extra support or tactical group.

 

The hvy bolters were point fillers :).

 

I will calculate and update the list.

Next try,

 

Augury web is a nice option but to expensive... was in doubt about a extra support or vetran squad but would be only 5 guys... so I picked a dreadnought...

 

Please conment on the list :)
