So, I haven't played a game of 40k in more than 6 years. Graduating college and going straight into the army kind of got in the way. But now I'm back, done a bit of reading, watching and listening, I've dusted off my old guardsmen, I picked up the new codex and I'm thinking I might try getting back into it a little.
After reading the new codex here's what I've come up with:
1500/1500
HQ: (240)
CCS
Vox-Caster
Astropath (dude's just here to generate more warp dice so the primaris psykers can spam prescience)
2x ML 2 Primaris Psykers
Troops:
Infantry Platoon 1: (250)
PCS
Vox-Caster
3x Infantry Squads
1 squad has a vox-caster
Each squad has a lascannon
Infantry Platoon 2: (220)
PCS
Vox-Caster
3x Infantry Squads
1 squad has a vox-caster
Each squad has a heavy bolter
x2 Veterans: (170x2)
Grenadiers
2x Meltaguns
Heavy Flamer
Chimera
Heavy Support: (450)
x2 Leman Russ Exterminator
Heavy Bolter Sponsons
Heavy Stubber
Basilisk
Camo Netting
I think to expand to 1850 I'll add a pair of Vendettas. To run at 1250 I'll drop the heavy bolter platoon and the astropath and turn one of the heavy flamers into a normal flamer or pull off a stubber or something.
If I drop the heavy bolter platoon, an Exterminator, the astropath and one of the psykers, trade the other platoon's lascannons for missile launchers, and then trade the vets' heavy flamers for normal flamers then I'm at 1000 points.
Any thoughts?
