My 2000 point list for an upcoming battle:
Colonel Trakken looked over his officer's reports. The heretics were coming and high command demanded that they be stopped. No matter the cost, the heretic Space Marines and their misguided Valhallan guardsmen must not be allowed to escape.
He looked at his forces that were available:
He had sent a Patrol Detachment ahead of the main brigade force. It was composed of:
++ Patrol Detachment (Imperium - Astra Militarum) ++
+ HQ +
Captain "Wolfman" Logan - Company Commander: Boltgun, Power fist

7th Squad - Lucky Bastards - Infantry Squad
. 7x Guardsman

Let me know what you think. Too many mortars? Not enough?
