...in list planning. After a few more games, I can state that my list and the minor variations of it are brutal in the dakka department. It also works quite well in the grabbing objectives department.
Primary - The High Marshall's Own [IG]
1x CO Command Squad w/ 4xSnipers [70] Warlord
2x Ratlingsx3 [60]
2x IG Platoons (Points are doubled in the individual lines except for the SWS, only one of those)
--1x Plt Cmd, AC, 2xFlamer in Chimera [210]
--2x Inf Plt, AC, Flamer, Chimera [480]
--1x Heavy Weapon Squad w/ AC [150]
1x SWS (attached to one platoon), Flamer, 2xmelta [60] (ride in Valkyrie)
1x Valkyrie w/ HB sponsons [140]
1xArmored Sentinel w/ Plasma Cannon [75]
Detachment Total: [1245]
Ally - Panacea Crusade, Black Templars
1x EC w/ ATW [110]
1x THDC (2xCML/SB/PF, 3xSB/PF), Tank Hunter [265]
1x Crusader (5/0, LasCannon, Plasmagun, 3xBolters) [101]
1x StormTalon w Skyhammer ML [125]
Detachment Total: [601]
List Total: [1846]
NOTE 1: The Sentinel is a throw away placeholder. I was sitting there with 79 points left over, couldn't make up my mind and I just happened to have this model that came as part of a lot I'd picked up on Ebay, so.... In any case, I'm a bit surprised by how well the little sucker has performed (including in CC, where it is AV12 all the time), but not enough to keep it. It does tempt me to want to squeeze in the old TLLC/HF Dread though.
NOTE 2: I've played a couple of odd point games (1900 & 2000) where I just added the Imperial Defense Line (by itself) and some bling in the 2k game. I'm mixed on it. Those games my HWS did better, but it takes careful use or it ends up cramping my mobility.
Anyway, on to the reason for the title of this post...
