list building

Company command
4 sniper rifles, camo cloaks.
Commander has a power weapon
Master of ordnance
Officer of the fleet
Sits in cover, and takes pot shots. MoO is pretty useless, but meh. One day he will get a kill. Officer of the fleet is a given. Tempted to find points for Creed. Giving things scout is fun, Out flanking Demolisher cannons? Turn one setting fire to things? yes please. Maybe a tad expensive just for scout though. And being as everything is in a box, I won't find much use for the 4 orders.

Guardsman Marbo
Just because

Vet Squad
Sergeant Bastonne, 3 meltas and shotguns
Rides the Valkyrie and kill something. Bastonne is there to make sure they get it it done. But 3 melta's generally do their job. Wonder if he's actually worth it. Shotguns for lols.

Infantry Platoon
Command with 3 plasma, Hby bolter/Hvy Bolter Chimera
3 squads with grenade Launcher, Autocannon and stock Chimeras
Sit on objectives, shoot everything they have at something. Something may die.

Hellhound, Hull heavy bolter

Valkyrie, multilaser + rocket pods, Sponsons.
Sponsons are a waste, /shrug. Mine has them and wysiwyg. Vets sit in this and go off to die, hopefully take something with them. I've had good luck with the Valkyrie actually surviving battles, though generally grounded. vendetta's are better, but are a fire magnet. And you can't generally hide these things.

Leman Russ, Hull Hvy Bolter, Hvy Bolter sponsons.

Leman Russ Demolisher, Lascannon, Plasma Sponsons
Menacing..

Manticore
Boom boom boom.

1745 points

Pretty much the same army I've always run and lost with. Though I don't have a manticore and have never used one. 4 turns of Strength 10 large blasts though, Winning unit. I guess I need practice.

  3. Nothing bad I hope?

    Sundays is usually a bring and play day now, bar the one sanctioned Magic tournament we do. So boardgames and such would be cool too.

  4. Was pretty bad when she went in, chest infection which led to pneumonia in both her lungs. That was two months ago. Been getting a lot better since then, but the past two weeks have been headache of not knowing when she will be out. Plus the fact shes is in Cambridge has been a bit of a nuisance.
    Hopefully should be home, and can rest easier today. Will all be a weight removed when we can at least know how she is all the time.
