So I was toying with the thought the other day of making an Air Assault list. The following is the result with some explanation afterwards.
[List below created using Army Builder]

1 Master of Ordnance (Frag Grenades; Close Combat Weapon; Laspistol; Carapace Armour; Artillery Bombardment)
1 Officer of the Fleet (Frag Grenades; Close Combat Weapon; Laspistol; Carapace Armour; Intercept Reserves)
Troops: Infantry Platoon (35#, 240 pts)
1 Infantry Platoon @ 240 pts (Infantry Squad)
4 Platoon Command Squad (Flak Armour; Frag Grenades; Close Combat Weapon x4; Lasgun x4; Vox Caster)
1 Platoon Commander (Flak Armour; Frag Grenades; Laspistol; Close Combat Weapon; Junior Officer)

Troops: Veteran Squad (10#, 130 pts)

1 Veteran Sergeant (Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades; Laspistol; Carapace Armour; Close Combat Weapon)
Troops: Veteran Squad (10#, 130 pts)
9 Veteran Squad @ 130 pts (Carapace Armour; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades; Close Combat Weapon x9; Lasgun x6; Meltagun x3; Grenadiers)
1 Veteran Sergeant (Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades; Laspistol; Carapace Armour; Close Combat Weapon)
Troops: Veteran Squad (10#, 130 pts)
9 Veteran Squad @ 130 pts (Carapace Armour; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades; Close Combat Weapon x9; Lasgun x6; Meltagun x3; Grenadiers)
1 Veteran Sergeant (Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades; Laspistol; Carapace Armour; Close Combat Weapon)
Fast Attack: Vendetta Gunship Squadron (1#, 140 pts)
1 Vendetta Gunship Squadron @ 140 pts
1 Vendetta (Extra Armor; Searchlight; Twin-linked Lascannon x3; Heavy Bolter Sponsons x2)
Fast Attack: Vendetta Gunship Squadron (1#, 140 pts)
1 Vendetta Gunship Squadron @ 140 pts
1 Vendetta (Extra Armor; Searchlight; Twin-linked Lascannon x3; Heavy Bolter Sponsons x2)
Fast Attack: Vendetta Gunship Squadron (1#, 140 pts)
1 Vendetta Gunship Squadron @ 140 pts
1 Vendetta (Extra Armor; Searchlight; Twin-linked Lascannon x3; Heavy Bolter Sponsons x2)
Heavy Support: Ordnance Battery (1#, 135 pts)
1 Ordnance Battery @ 135 pts (Medusa)
1 Medusa (Heavy Bolter; Medusa Siege Cannon; Searchlight; Smoke Launchers)
Heavy Support: Ordnance Battery (1#, 135 pts)
1 Ordnance Battery @ 135 pts (Medusa)
1 Medusa (Heavy Bolter; Medusa Siege Cannon; Searchlight; Smoke Launchers)
Total Roster Cost: 1485
The idea behind this is that the infantry platoon along with the Medusas remain stationary and pour fire down range while the veterans outflank in the vendettas gunning for objectives, popping tanks, doing whatever needs being done. I realize that against hordes or armies that contain units that can outflank I can run into some problems but then again, this is just iteration number 1.
Let me know what you think.
