Tactics wise, the consul and vets go in Alpha LR, signal master with support section, and the two tactical squads get a dred each to bolster there fire power and CC effectiveness. With the jav milling around flanks and the scorpius bringing the rain. Vindicator, to punch any medium vehicles.

Some points to consider:

 

- I like your HQ selections. But if you're intend on bringing the MoS / Caliver Support squad combo, then max out that squad at all costs and maybe even give them a bare bones Apothecary to tag along. Otherwise they will just die.

 

- Your Dreads seem .. unfocused. I'd go for a Cortus with double Grav and a Mortis with double Kheres maybe.

 

- I see no reason for the Heavy Bolter or the Nuncio Vox on your Veterans. If you really want to run them as a unit of five with your Centurion attached riding the Achilles, then gear them to survive an assault (I.E. power weapons & Fist / Resolve or Weaponmasters plus your melee-oriented Centurion, OR focus on the shooting part, keep the HB and downgrade your Centurion to make him cheaper). Either way this unit will not survive for long once out of the Achilles.

 

- Tacticals:  Footslog them in big yellow blobs of 20 with an Apothecary attached, OR bring 10 in a Rhino DT. Otherwise they will just ... die.

And bring Artificer on the Sergeants.

 

- Tac Support:  Like mentioned earlier, max out that unit if you want them to do anything.

 

- The Javelin likes some tasty HK Missiles at 5 pts. each.

 

- Extra Armour on your tanks is highly situational.

Thanks Unknown Legionaire,

I shall try get a new list with the points you've shown put in.

I think problem with the vets is that i want (re need!) to use my achilles as its my fave model and an IF stalwart. But its not a assault vehicle, so the vets may be better as shooters.

 

I think if i make one tac squad max 20 with the dred supporting it for CC, and the other 10 in rhino to support the vets?

 

Ive put vox's on each squad to use barrage to best effect.

 

The boards i fight on are generally city ruins or other terrain heavy boards.

 

Cheers, NS

To save a few points, for AA on tac squads. I could change the LR alpha into a standard Achilles, but that lacks choom!
