I normally go for footslogging infantry, and favor non-blobbed platoons backed up by some armored elements. I decided to make a Mech list and try to fit in all of my armor (sadly only one Russ got used
) just to try something new so here goes.
CCS
GLx3
Flamer
Chimera
Hull HF 125pts.
Vet Squad x2
GLx2
Flamer
Chimera
Hull HF 280pts.
A. Sentinels x3 ---
Leman Russ ---
This leaves me at 30 points extra and I am still deciding on how to use them. I wanted everything in armor to use up my 3 chimeras as well as my sentinels.
I was thinking of swapping the Sentinels main gun to Missile Launchers for hounding vehicles as they are not bad at wolfpack tactics.
I also thought about putting stormbolters on the chimeras to add more shots to the mix.
Possibly put HB sponsons on the Russ and a Stormbolter, or I could add ACs to the Sentinels and put a bolt pistol in each squad.
Or even ACs on the sentinels and stormbolter on the Russ.
Those are just a few of my ideas on how to use the points.
I know that in most cases you do not mix Special weapons in squads but I tossed in the single flamers to each squad paired up with the HF on the chimera to help deter enemy assault on the vehicles and allow each vehicle to fill both light armor and anti-infantry rolls.
So what do you guys think? Thanks in advance.
