[Deleted]

I am relatively new to this forum, but reading through previous threads, it seems IG players here like new exciting ways to play IG well what about this army as an all dropping 'Shock & Awe' Army?

Any Good? The bits with the 'or's' not decided which would be better suggestions welcomed.

Why Tanks ? ?? ? ? ? Probelm with Tanks with a DS army there Main target for 2 turns but the Basilisk seem good cause you hide them. ...... Heavy Weapons in Paltoons i rather not cause you are DS and they would be worthless for a turn and then probelly charged next turn.

You Heavy Infantry destorys are the Vets and HQ in the squads you could take Grenade Lancuhers IDK

Chem Inhalers are always good i think cause igrone all Negitives and also dont need to be near HQ to use them.

Its up to ya just my ideas

I agree the Basiliks are good at stopping opponents from castling, the reason why i am considering the tanks is that they too have a good range but whereas as the basiliks would be of use for a turn or turn the Tanks could be of greater value once my troops have dropped there by forcing th opponant to engage these units and ignore the tanks allowing me to bring them up the field in support?....

As regards the heavy weapons you are right but if those HW in the supports are still available they will cause big problems, because these units are not the only things to worry about they may be the last thing on the opponants mind bearing in mind the plasmas and elite units.

What do you think? what changes would you recommend?
