Hi All,
I am currently reworking my tournament SMs army and was looking for a bit of input.
Firstly here is the army I was using (I have a WoC army I am painting so dont want to do too much rework):
Darth Lysander
Librarian Terminator Armour, Storm Shield (Null zone and STR 10 Blast)
Terminator assault squad 4 TH/SS, 2 LC
Land raider Crusader Multimelta
2 Land speeders Multimelta/Heavy Flamer
2 Land speeders Multimelta/Heavy Flamer
10 Man Tac Squad PF, Melta Gun, MM
10 Man Tac Squad PF, Melta Gun, MM
10 Man Tac Squad PF, Flamer, MM
Rino
I had some success with it but there are some serious draw backs
-No shooting over 24
-Death star unit, over reliance on the termies and Lysander to kill stuff
-Tactical squads dont really do much, they are proving to be a waste of points.
So here is what I am thinking of changing to:
Librarian Terminator Armour, Storm Shield (Null zone and STR 10 Blast)
Terminator assault squad 4 TH/SS, 2 LC
Land raider Crusader Multimelta
2 Land speeders Multimelta/Heavy Flamer
2 Land speeders Multimelta/Heavy Flamer
2 Land speeders Multimelta/Heavy Flamer
5 Tactical Marines
Razor back Twin HB
5 Tactical Marines
Razor back Twin HB

Razor back Twin HB
5 Tactical Marines
Razor back Twin HB
Predator- AC/HB
Predator- AC/HB
This brings me in a lot more long range fire power, 2 extra speeders should give them a better chance as normally they get jumped on the first turn.
There are a couple of variations I am thinking of.
1) Drop one of the Land speeder squads and upgrade the Razorbacks to TL Las cannons
2) Drop one of the tac squads and take a vindicator (not sure about this as I would rather take two of something)
Any comments?
