I know... its horrible right!
I'd love to take ogryns... apart from the fact I don't have the models - I'm currently looking at ways to convert them out of ogres... but I'm not a great fan of the plastic ogre models... they look too static!
I'm actually tempted to drop both mounted veteran teams and use the points for a second platoon. it'd be something I haven't done in a long while. Maybe jiggle all the weapons and give the second platoon mortars to be used on the defence.
I could put take two platoons that look like:
Platoon 1:
PCS, 2 flamer, chimera : 95
squad 1, grenade, mortar, chimera : 115
squad 2, plasma, rocket, chimera : 135
PCS, 2x melta, chimera : 105
squad 1, grenade, mortar, chimera : 115
squad 2, plasma, rocket, chimera : 135
700pts worth of troops (not including the 85pt flamer vets). I'd have to swap the executioner for a standard russ with plasma sponsons.
The list bumps tank numbers but loses a degree of punch.
Then, just when people think they have to load up on anti-tank weapons... i can turn up with an all infantry list.
If I'm completley honest with myself I want to take an infantry list. but the extra infantry I'd need are bare metal and I'm torn between playing an unpainted army or an army that includes some of my best painted models. (for the real wow factor)
