–4 Remora Drones

I think this list has potential.
5 Flyers, all of which may deep strike.
Nice mix of anti-tank (10 Seeker Missiles (with 7 marker lights), R'alai's Anti-Tank and EMP rounds, Dreadnought, Stormraven, 5 man melta squad), and anti-infantry (firewarriors, 10 man assault squad + Reclusiarch + sanguinary priest, 4 remora long barreled burstcannons, dreadnought).

The major drawback: no psychics.

[Tynskel]

changes I could make:
ditch the Shas'ui in the firewarrior squad (30 points). Ditch the devilfish (105) and purchase a bunker with AA gun. Put the firewarriors in there! Maybe even split the squad into 2, and have 6 on top to operate the gun, and 6 in the bunker.

there might be some points left over for a locator beacon on the stormraven.

[Tynskel]

Ah.
I thought about it more...
I am not sure how much the Bunker + Guns are, so I am gunna price it at 125 points.
I like terminators. So, I am adding terminators.

I would swap out the Infernus pistol on the second assault squad for a second Meltagun, all you'd be losing out on is one S4 chainsword attack and you'll gain the extra very helpful range. I would also be tempted to give that Drop Pod to the Dreadnought to make use of his Frag Cannon, but I guess he would be all alone looking at a lot of guns. Drop Pod with Frag Cannon and Heavy Flamer is amusing though.

[Tynskel]

The squad is 5 men, so the infernus pistol is on the sgt. That's how I am squeezing in a second melta weapon.

I thought about granting the pod to the Dreadnought, but I would need to come up with 35 (preferably 45) points. Right now, the Dread comes in with the Stormraven. Now, I have thought about switching the Locator Beacon from the Drop Pod to the Stormraven, that way the dread n' marines can hop out in Skies of Blood near the bird, and not scatter to their doom.


I did double check the points on the lascannon. I save 15 from that. the Quad-Gun is 50 points.
I might just give the stormraven a locator beacon.

[Tynskel]

Ah, I have been thinking.

Perhaps it might be worth while to use 'Battle Brothers'.
In this case, it would be switching the Blood Angels for Space Marines. Locator Beacons can be used to bring in the Tau Commander and Remoras.

swap the Stormraven for a Stormtalon. brings back 60 points. Sanguinary Priest is dropped (85 points).
Exchange the 2 assault squads and buy two tactical squads with Drop Pods (with locator beacons, of course).
The Furioso would be exchanged for a Ironclad, and take a drop pod.

That should work points wise. Probably be a little tight. Might downgrade one tactical squad to a Scout Squad.
