Hi everyone, I'm considering expanding my army up to 2500pts, I've included my current 2000pt list as well as my ideas on how to fill up the remaining 500pts.
2000pt list
Cadian battle group
command section
CCS
2 plasma guns
las cannon
volkov's cane
astropath
chimera
CAD
HQ
Pask
LR punisher
MM sponsons
Las cannon
dozer blade
stubber
LR executioner
PC sponsons
Las cannon
dozer blade
ministorum priest
auto cannon
Troops
2 veteran squads
3 melta guns
chimera
hull heavy flamer
dozer blade
infantry platoon
PCS
heavy flamer
3 flamers
3 infantry squads
las cannon
flamer
FAST ATTACK
2 Vendettas
HEAVY SUPPORT
LR eradicator
HB sponsons
stubber
2 wyverns
hull heavy flamers
Inquisitorial detachment
HQ
inquisitor coteaz
so the PCS goes in a vendetta and coteaz and the priest jump in the blob, I'm using the decurion for my CCS as only the command element is mandatory and while the vox net and extended order range only effect models from the same detachment and are therefore useless here the extra order still works and i gain the option to take volkov's cane to make sure my las cannons are getting their orders through. so for 2500pts i would:
give the PCS a chimera with dozer blade, and 4 melta guns
add 2 3 flamer SWS to ride in the vendettas
add 30 conscripts
add and ordos xenos inquisitor with 3 servo skulls, rad grenades, power armour, and divination
add another LR eradicator w/ HB sponsons and a stubber
so i'd move the priest into the conscripts along with the inquisitor to serve as a mobile bubble wrap for pask and the veteran chimeras as they move up to claim objectives or get the punisher cannon into range, the PCS would go with this group to order the conscripts around. Basically my goal was to increase my number of obsec units and to increase the ability of the list to enter the midfield to claim the ever important maelstrom objectives without getting completely destroyed by fast assaulters or deepstrikers. Hopefully the combination of bubblewrapping, servo skulls, and coteaz will provide a pretty good safety net against them.
The other option i'm considering is an imperial knight, which could advance into the midfield with the chimeras and hopefully draw some fire away from my objective grabbers, I'd probably go for a warden as the crusader is rather expensive and I'd still like to keep the conscript bubble wrap as it would still be useful for keeping meltas away from the knight. I'd probably drop the eradicator from the 2k list and keep the flamers on the PCS but give them a chimera and add a warden w/ the carapace missile launcher, conscripts, and inquisitor. i'd have to shave off points somewhere but I think it might be preferable to have that extra punch to back up my advance.
