1,750 Al'Rahem IG

[RocketRollRebel]

Happy Halloween all! So I'm considering taking my IG to the Conflict GT this coming January but wanted to take a different approach to my IG. I've been really wanting to make Al'Rahem work since the codex came out and I feel like I've maybe got a balance here. I know I wont place first at these types of events, but I like to think that I do well and place around the top 25% so my ultimate goal for this list is competitive, fun and uniqueness. Input is welcome!

Why HKM on Chimeras?
I like to take Demo w/ my melta vets
If you can find 55pts Sgt Harker upgrade for your vets = they can out flank also.

I also like to take some ratlings (3-5) man unit. 50ish points for a target is pretty cheap and if your opponent doesn't shoot at them = free pining rending shot for you.:D

[Cyclonus]

I like it, except why penal legionnaires? Yeah they're cheap, but you could take more vets (and kit them out if you drop some of the HK missiles).

[Dorsai]

I never take HKs on anything anymore. I can use those points on other things. Take that fifty points, drop the medusa and take a Leman. Far better point wise.

[DadExtraordinaire]

Not bad list for anti-mech but what about a horde army? I would agree with other comments on the HK so I would drop all HK missiles, drop the armoured crew apart, I would also drop at least 1 PG in comp sqd, and I think you should stick with a Medusa and drop the Manticore and 1 x sentinel, giving around 270 to 280 points. I would then purchase a bog standard Leman Russ and 1 x Griffon (accurate bombardment) leaving you with 40 to 60 points to play with, maybe now you can purchase Srgnt Harker?. I'm not too sure what you plan on doing with the penal unit?
