I did very well, I won't spoil where I came yet because the battle reports are being posted on my blog, you can read game1 and 2 if you're interested (
Embolden40k Blog) with game 3, 4 and 5 to follow this week.
But I have to say this listed worked really well, but there is plenty of room for improvement,at the very minimum I want an Aegis defence line.
So that means dropping 100pts to find room for an Aegis Defence line and Quad-Gun and I need something to man the thing, so there are plenty of options and I'm keen to try 2 ways. The first:
Drop the Interceptors and while I'm at it, I'm going to drop the Strikes, that's 162pts or 165pts if I drop the searchlights on the dreads, so I need something to man the Quad-gun, the Answer seems to be Guard, with a Company Command with Autocannon and a Vet Squad with Autocannon coming in at 140pts leaving room for something like Camocloaks for a 3+ cover save.
Or I keep the Interceptors and Strikes, and I find the points by dropping a Dreadnought, which will leave 35pts to spend on the list, I could upgrade to Strikes to Interceptors making them a 10man squad, or drop the interceptors down to strikes freeing up 70pts for some inquisitor fun or a Razorback or keep as they are and spend the pts on the Paladins, get a stave and master craft the hammers.
Thoughts?
