for 1500 pnts , that's a solid list that's can take on just bout anything and survive but why 2 Missile Launches with the Sternguards?

[RGilbert26]

Well I could just add another two Combi-meltas but I thought take two missile launchers and they have some added punch.

EDIT: Granted the squad's special ammo drops by 2/4 shots but it does mean they have more oomph.

No other comments?

Drop the Sternguard for thunderhammer Terminators other wise i can't really see a point in running lysander =/ If you want the Veterans throw in Vulkan and melta-spam to make the list work together a bit better.

[RGilbert26]

Most people say use Sternguard to take advantage of his Bolter drill.

Ya but you are lacking any Close Combat power and 5 th\ss terminators + Lysander will give anyone a face beating well sternguard will get ripped apart if they are charged =/

Sternguard Sgt accepts any challenges while Lysander hits the enemy.

Dropping the Sternguard and Drop Pod gives me enough points to buy 3 more assault termis and a teleport homer.

Wait does lysander make sternguard troops? (i know someone does...)

[RGilbert26]

No he just allows them to reroll their to hit rolls (which means rerolling gets hot and potentially rerolling 6 heavy bolter shots, or reroll snap firing missile launchers), Kantor makes Sternguard objective takers.

Well i would almost say for this list take Kantor instead =/

[RGilbert26]

Funnily enough i was going to use his model as the Sgt for the Sternguard.

Well give him a shot as your HQ as Lysander really only seems to pay for him self with a Terminator bodyguard or at least 10 sternguard rolling amazingly.

[RGilbert26]

I could always get both and 8 Assault Terminators :p

...That would be pretty good to be honest, in 1500pts you need that mix of Fire power and CC (Deepstrike behind some necrons, Charge after, Profit)

Do 2 or 3 troop choices maybe of Sternguard? + termys and a flier or AA unit or two

[RGilbert26]

Well they arent troop choices, they are just allowed to take objectives.

Close enough :P Cheap out on troops maybe with a pair of sniper scouts to camp objectives?

[RGilbert26]

Two units of 5 Scouts and then 3 units of 5 or more Sternguard with either a Razorback, Rhino or Drop Pod?

Army becomes more Crimson Fists than Imperial Fists, if flyers didnt exist i would have taken two Vindicators to make the army more 'Siege based'.

[White Tiger88]

I would use Razorbacks for the extra firepower, plus you can hide till your in position to launch a trap.

Lysander only lets you re roll bolt weapons, so your plan for the Sternguard Missile Launchers is toast. I also see a problem with your tactical squads in that they would be a lot more effective if you gave them multimeltas and combimeltas in drop pods to get them close fast. I understand that this is asking you to drop a lot our of the list and buy several more models. however, you might be able to squeeze out terminatiors if you drop a tac squad and juggle some points around. Hope this helps!
