Newbie/ Air Cav

[oscarbyrne]

Hey guys Its been about 4 years since I collected any warhammer (sold it before I jumped the pond) and even then it was collecting and not playing so much but I'm looking to start fresh and hopefully get some games underneath my belt.
I'm not looking to be super competative but I don't want to be walked all over either. From reading other forums I understand using air cav is some what of an art but I don't mind getting hammered because honestly I don't think there is any army cooler than a bunch of air craft strafing the hell out of everyone, y'know blackhawk down s**t.
 (I'll probably set up a thread for fluff and a project log at some point):

The 1st Damascan “Fireflies”

125 Captain Oscar Bryne(CCS): lascannon, camo-cloaks, astropath, vox caster,

65 Guardsman Marbo:

120 Veteran Squad Alpha: forward sentries, missile launcher, vox

100 Veteran Squad Beta: 3 x melta

170 Veteran Squad Omega: 3 x Plasma, gunnery sergeant Harker

140 Valkyrie: multiple rocket pods, heavy bolter sponsors

140 Vendetta: heavy bolter sponsors

140 Vendetta: heavy bolter sponsors

total: 1000 points

I don't have much of a battle plan at the moment but squad alpha hangs back because I believe I need a unit of the board at the beginning of the battle, they hold out until reenforcements arrive and killing things/capture objectives, also any critisisms of the list are very welcome, infact I implore you to.
Well I'm going to try and become an active member of this community and I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys.

Hi there, and welcome to the board! Haven't played much lately, but I'd say that looks okay for a start, with the caveat that it has very few "boots-on-the-ground" even for a thousand point army. In my experience, the more troops you have the better!

so maybe one less valk and one more squad untill 1500 points d'ya think? I don't really mind losing one if it makes it more functional as well as cheaper.
