Hi Brother,

Total = 1750

The DCA warbands go in the LRR which can either fire their S7 Rending assault cannon @ armour or flame things to death.
The LRR allow me to assault into cover with the DCA and still strike @ I6.
The idea is either to roll the Razorbacks in front of the LRR for cover with the Libby casting Shrouding for a 3++ or stay on objectives.

Simple and to the point

I know I'm a heretic for posting list like this up....

SELL OUT!!!! No seriously, it looks like you have all your bases covered. I think it would be cooler if you also had psyflame ammo(str7 ap3) for the redeemer, but that would could be fairly costly. By the way, I'm guessing that the servo skulls are to keep out infiltrators and scouts, right? And no this doesn't make you a heretic, at least you aren't using demonhosts.

Changed it about a bit as after play testing, I found I was missing Multi-Melta:

@Slayer18: yes, the skulls are to keep infiltrators away.

Perhaps a godhammer instead of redeemer for your 10 man warband, the lascannon's may be usefull

That is true, good thinking but I think loosing the assault grenades would be a bit of a down fall, no?

Do you think dropping a LRR and a unit of DCA would be worth it to add a a PsyDread+VenPsyDread+Psyback?

I like the trip Raider list, it's clean and intimidating, I just dont think a third redeemer will add anything to the army whilst lascannon's would.

In all honesty I would build a trip raider list with 2 godhammer's and one of the others but thats just me

Fair enough, I do agree the lascannons would add more long range firepower and if they're still alive a good firing base after the DCA have been unloaded.
On the flip side to that my Local Gaming Club has a lot of terrain on the field and my train of thought is that if my opponent puts his units in cover (which we all do for that lovely 4+ save) then when I assault with my DCA I will go at I1 instead of I6.
How about changing the LRR for LRC? The down side to that is the Bolter go up to S5 and loose their Defensive weapon status but will have more range, any thoughts?

On the assault note, don't librarian and Cotaez carry frag grenades? That would allow those units to assault into cover.

Yes they do but I don't think it carries over to the unit, the whole unit has to have them.

Ok, maybe the list needs some long distance firepower:

I like the way the jokaero list looks. Only thing I would change is maybe replace the crudaders with warrior acolytes with heavier weapons( 1 per squad) and swap the rhinos for Chimeras. Chimeras have more firing points and a useful mounted weapon that you could take advantage of for the range theme. Aside from that, I think that the librarian and Coteaz would prefer the higher armor vehicle and the jokearos would fill the range weapon gap better than the storm ravens. By the way, I always seem to be a very contrary, somewhat arguementative person, maybe there's something wrong with me.

shadow wrote:Yes they do but I don't think it carries over to the unit, the whole unit has to have them.

Incorrect, they do carry over. If they didn't you couldn't ever get any use out of special grenades that IC's carry like blind grenades on the Tech marine. Assaulting with a lone tech marine would just be silly.

Cool, thanks guys, learn something new everyday. I put crusaders with the jokaero to soak up wounds really but I get your point Slayer18

Changed it again

changed the last one a bit:
