and a second IG list with DH allies (yes, is allowed), this list isn't optimal and has some fluff choices (anointed weapon, it's a radical inq. with a daemon weapon, this is a nice "counts as".

List has less direct firepower, but does win squarely on tricks. the =][= and his cronies can go assist with nasty stuff and possibly smack down a few meq's or something.

Which is list would you like more to play against? not nicer or something, but just cooler? people are already complaining like hell about my armoured guard because they can't stand it that gaunts can't hurt them and such crap, they don't like it when entire units are made obsolete.
(I should really ask him not to deploy those winged hive tyrants, I can't do shit against those with my lasguns :roll:

I have the IG codex, just not with me at this moment. Forgive me if I've made errors in that regard. Just my opinions here... take them with a grain of salt! :D

For the first list:
- Chimera's can't have autocannons - only heavy bolter or multilaser, right?
- you have only 2 troops choices while you have 2 elites and 3 heavy - lame. I'd drop the elites for another stormtrooper/chimera squad.
- with that, I wouldn't take "Drop Troops" as you're basically mechanized infantry
- why give a meltabomb to an officer in a flamer squad?
- I wouldn't take the Sentinel by itself, especially with a multilaser - either 3 or none. You need more anti-armor at range, so I would take them with lascannons.
- What on earth is a Cyclops? I seriously don't know, but it sounds awesome.

For the second list, much the same - too top-heavy, not enough core troops. This army would be easily defeated, in my opinion.

If you drop some of the shiny-extra points stuff and flesh out your troops choices, you'll still have a great armored strike force with a lot more depth. Just food for thought. Good luck!

Forge world rules.

no keep the vets bs4 is handy needed for lascannons
- with that, I wouldn't take "Drop Troops" as you're basically mechanized infantry
yes no need for it
- why give a meltabomb to an officer in a flamer squad?
- I wouldn't take the Sentinel by itself, especially with a multilaser - either 3 or none. You need more anti-armor at range, so I would take them with lascannons.
groups of 2, 3 a unit is to many points for av 10 walkers
- What on earth is a Cyclops? I seriously don't know, but it sounds awesome.
forge world again

Sorry, didn't know the forgeworld rule on the autos. To clarify, I would take multiple Sentinels, but in single-unit squadrons. Make sense?

Thanks for the clarification, Caboose.

It's what I have, sort of, I'll probably drag the =][= along, I don't expect very cheesy lists so...
