HH2.0 Generic Thunderhawk Planetfall Force ~2000

[Volth]

How would this do in your meta? It is supposed to represent a force that is specialized in boarding actions of capital ships. Two talons to ram into a ship and clear corridors and one Thunderhawk with a payload of marines and vehicles equipped to cut through the hull.

Edit: as a further explanation for the motivation of the list, it is about three things basically:

- The wonderful Thunderhawk Transporter (are there any usable STLs around? seriously)

- Dual-wielding Power Fists

- Countering the Drop-Pod meta (flying around until dropped, pick targets)

Sons of Horus were all for the strike fast strike hard and take the head....

 

I could see them ram right below the bridge or a deck below that and make their way up as the Centurion removes the head of the ships captain then turn around and use that same ship to open fire on other ships they were fighting against and make their way back to evac to let the core blow

From a pure competitive perspective, wouldn't you want one weapon to not be Unwieldy, but Specialist, so you can strike with it at Initiative against other Unwieldy weapons, and still get that extra attack? Maybe a Paragon Blade (edit: upgraded to a Champion Consul) or Lightning Claw?

if i remember correctly only the Champion can take a Paragon Blade now outside a Praetor and he would be 15 points cheaper...and comes with a gun...

That's totally right and I appreciate the advice, however this one is about style.. a powerfisting dude who goes like a gorilla through Terminators and maybe a Praetor from time to time.
