So having decided to turn my old steel legion into drop troopers using the drop troop list in Imperial Armour 8 I've set about throwing ideas together so I can plan out my purchases, conversions, and see when I can get a game in.
Since the new Codex came out I've been running a all veterans in chimeras, with some Hydras and heavy armor and I've gotten good at that. So with this approach I wanted to try and move away from relieing entirely on vets and get more variety in my forces. I also want to use more sentinels, just because.
Finally I'm trieing to keep conversions to a minium, so only my veterans will get meltas.
SO here it is.
HQ:
1 Company Command squad W/ 1 commander w/bolt pistol, 1 veteran troopers w/lasguns, 1 Veteran HWT w/ Missile launcher, 1 veteran w/grenade launcher
TOTAL: 72 pts
ELITES:
2 drop sentinels w/multi meltas
TOTAL:100
TROOPS
1) 1 Infantry platoon w/
1 platoon command squad w/ 1 Officer, 3 troopers, 1 trooper w/grenade launcher or flamethrower
2 infantry squads W/ 1 sarge, 8 troopers, 1 trooper with grenade launcher
1 infantry squad w/1 sarge, 7 troopers, 1 trooper with grenade launchers, 1 trooper with Vox
2 Drop sentinels w/multi meltas
TOTAL:340 pts
2) 1 Veteran squad w/ 1 sarge, 6 troopers , 3 troopers with melta guns
1 Valkyrie w/rocket pods
TOTAL:240
3) 1 Veteran squad w/1 sarge , 5 troopers,1 trooper w/AGL, 2 troopers w/ plasma guns, 1 trooper w/grenade launcher
TOTAL:118
FAST ATTACK:
1 Vendetta
TOTAL: 130 pts
FINAL TOTAL:1000 points exactly
So ideas, thoughts?
