Hey all,
Some of you might have seen some of my Mechanicus (counts as IG) in the WIP forum
here (http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?t=7205)
Im building a mech army and I don't want to be chezy and spammy, so wanted to get peoples thoughts on what they build in the IG armies and why they choose to use the models they play with. Since my army is based on a Mechanicus theme... I am probably going to be getting more tanks for sure (eventually and even though most folks don't run them as squadrons, i will probably be trying that out)
Here is what I have so far (in various stages of completion)
These are my core troops at the moment
(all run as grenadiers)
10x Veteran Squad In Chimera
3x Melta guns, Powefist/Plasma pistol seargent
10x Veteran Squad In Chimera
2x Flamers, 1x Heavy Flamer, Power weapon/Plasma pistol seargent
10x Veteran Squad In Valkyrie
3x Plasma guns, Powerfist/Plasma pistol seargent
so far for my heavy
Leman Russ Battle Tank
Lascannon, Heavy Bolter Sponsons
I can run either a Manticore (probably will run the majority of the time) or can run it as a Hydra (weapons swap on a Basilisk chasis)
I have 3 Lascannon Heavy Weapons teams but can really run these unless i run a platoon, so not sure about them yet..
Fast
3x Sentinels
1x MultiLaser, 1x AutoCannon, 1x Heavy Flamer
(will probably be running these as the armored version)
Other stuff
psyker battle squad (don't have a Chimera for them, but plan on purchasing one soon)
I have some decked out models that can be used for HQ/Special Characters (this is where i'd really love some input)
I think that is a good start and as is.. runs around 1425 (without any HQ or special Characters)
I plan on building a minimum of 2000 points with this army, but will probably be playing around 1850 the most
So what else do people play with (or suggestions as to what I should add) and tell me why!
Thanks so much.
