this is a list my friend is using for a pending battle in my bacement, the models are mine but I let him go through my collection and throw together a list according to what he wanted... and here it is! -HQ- cap +powersword +combimelta==================125 command squad +boltpistol and cc weapons===115 razorback +twinlinked lascannon +HK missile +stormbolter +dozer blade==================100 -troops- tac squad with rhino flamer+powerfist===============230 tac squad with rhino flamer+powerfist================230 tac squad with droppod +powerfist +stormbolter +meltagun +multimelta======================245 -elite- terminator squad +heavy flamer==================205 Landraider x2 twinlinked lascannons +twinlinked heavy bolter======250 total 1500 and here is the link to the list I aim to use to mop the floor with him commissar.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=armylist&action=display&thread=7049(I'm crossing my fingers, this guy treats the game like chess and hardly ever seems to lose, he also kinda beats himself up if he makes any mistakes so I'm always trying to give him little hints to help him out, which is probably to my disadvantage, but I'd rather have a fun game and lose in all honesty.) |

yep...
the landraider and the terminators were definatly something we wanted to use.
maybe not the best choice at 1500 but they're still going to be a tough nut for me to break.
did I mention this guy only likes to play annihilation games?
yep...thats always fun...

ahah. again, good luck. i think the termies will end up being a bad point sink, at 1500. especially if the bassies hit.  |

My guess is the terminators deepstrike close to something like your Company commander.
Otherwise it is the obvious of having them in the landraider. SM can be so predictable sometimes.
The drop pod will most likely come down close to the Bassies.
If it was me playing, that squad would also be divided into two teams to be able to take out two targets.
One squad with multimelta and powerfist.
One squad with melta.
Make sure the team with the multimelta has to move to be within range, or fire on a ordinary Infantry squad. Try to keep the Vehicles so far apart that he cant reach two in the same turn.
I think going up against this army will be chosing targets, since everything is in transports you might need to ask yourself witch units do I want to reach my lines?
My priority would be.
1. Rhinos.
2. Razoback.
3. Landraider
The reason for this is by taking out the Rhinos early you keep two squads walking/running against you. This will give you more chances of whithering them down.
Also if the rhinos reach your lines you will have 2 squads leaving and firing, most likely taking out what they are firing on then assaulting two new squads.
Ergo taking out 4 squads.
If the Terminators reach your line they will exit. Fire at one squad and taking them out. Assaulting a new squad.
Ergo taking out 2 squads.
You might ask why don't you take out the landraider first? Because they take a sh*tload of firepower to take down and that firepower is mostly better used on troops.
But I understood/remember it as you had a melta squad stormies deepstriking.When they make themselves known in the game they most certainly should take out the Land Raider.
This is my thoughts.

so...first turn of this game is all that has been played...
its still set up on my table in the basement and should resume in a day or two...
I won the roll to go first
hooray!
all of my shooting did nothing but shake his razorback due to cover saves and bad luck with the scatter dice.(and I forgot to issue any orders before I started firing, damnit!)
he kept everything inside their transports and moved forward then popped smoke on everything but his Land Raider
his droppod went for one of my basalisks(which have both been placed on opposite sides of the table with my Russ holding in the middle)
thankfully the pod scattered 9 inches away and landed right infront of my line where the meltaguns will be almost useless for one or two turns, he then opened fire on one of my meltagun squads and killed two guardsmen.
and that was the end of turn one.

Keep your faith in the emperor and remember, the SM, unlike us don't think he is a god. Therefore the god emperor will protect us.
Right?
