So this is meant to represent the forces left still fighting on istvaan. I chose pride of the legion because I think the forces left would be veterans of the war after fighting for so long. Let me know what you think. Cheers

It looks pretty good fluff-wise! Shabran Darr is nothing special, though I like his backstory, but what does he bring to the list?

 

The Veteran Squads look a bit confused:

- Furious Charge & power weapons mean you want to see combat, but a meltagun and a Rhino (with no Assault Vehicle rule) promotes shooting. Remember that WE get Furious Charge after beating a unit too.

- the Tank Hunters squad would appreciate discounted melta bombs (and the flakk missile launchers are really expensive - maybe go for meltaguns?).

 

Spartan and Contemptor are good, but I'd take a dozer blade over an auxiliary drive.

 

Laser Rapiers are good for Raven Guard & Alpha Legion (they can Infiltrate them) but for 20 points more, a Vindicator Tank Destroyer is better value for WE.

 

Hope this helps! :)

Thanks for the reply @Caillum, Honestly I've had heaps of trouble how best to use veterans and shabran. I know he's mediocre at best but I'm determined to stick with the fluff. I'd appreciate it if you could write up how you would use the vets and shabran to make them work? After your suggestions I was thinking meltabombs and meltaguns in a rhino with outflank? Plus a squad with shabran that has 2 power weapons and 2 heavy bolters with fearless to hunt infantry?
