Time to get a feel for the new book. I went ahead and made a skeletal list outline of things I'd like to include and see how my previous renditions will translate.
Captain - 175
-Bike, Artificer Armor, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield
Standard Loadout that's now 15 points cheaper. I really wanted the Shield of the Eternal but it would have mean losing a thunder fire cannon. something I'm not super keen on doing.
Command Squad - 205-Bikes, Apothecary, 3x Veterans with Grav Rifles, Melta Gun
Cheap and Cheerful for the command squad. I considered giving them power weapons but felt that was a fairly expensive luxury. It pumps out 9 Grav Rifle shots and well one melta shot because the last grav rifle put me 1 point over 1500.
Bike Squad (4+1) w. 2x Melta Guns, Multi-Melta Attack Bike - 159
Bike Squad (4+1) w. 2x Grav Rifles, Multi-Melta Attack Bike - 169
Bike Squad (4+1) w. 2x Grav Rifles, Multi-Melta Attack Bike - 169
Bike Squad (4+1) w. 2x Grav Rifles, Multi-Melta Attack Bike - 169
4 Troop choices. Loads of firepower. I feel that the Grav weapons were made to be on a bike platform. 18" range with all the added benefits. Not to mention if you're aiming at someone with low armor where the Grav starts to struggle just swap to your twin-linked bolters and let loose!
Storm Talon w. Skyhammer - 125
Storm Talon w. Skyhammer - 125
Cheap Air Defense.
Thunder Fire Cannon
Thunder Fire Cannon
1496.
Thoughts?
