Right so tactics for this list. The two Ironclads come down on turn one to deal with any heavy armour and be a threat my opponent has to deal with. Popping smoke if I think I'm out of range of the Meltaguns on them. The tactical squad in the drop pod comes down with a reserve roll to seize an objective and are equipped to take one if they have to. The last Tactical Squad goes in the LR, which can either stay back with the squad inside or move to get them into assault range. Finally the Librarian goes with the Drop Pod Squad as they will probably be in the thickest of the action and his powers can help them take an objective should they need to.
So what do you think? Criticisms? I think the main problem with this list in my mind is that it's not very 'killy'. Tactical Squads are one of the best Troop choices in the game IMO. But they aren't very good at killing other things. Although in my advantage, I do think this list is fairly resilient for a 1500 point force.
Also I apologise for the spazzy bracketed numbers. I just copied this from the word document I used to type it up. And I'm lazy so I can't be bothered fixing it
.
Thanks
