IG evolution continues!
Well, to be honest for me, this is a revolution.
Things I have discovered so far:
1) I play like an idiot
2) Small squads die fast & generally don't get to shoot that often
3)
LRBTs don't kill enough
4) Killing stuff out of LoS or in cover is a pain in the backside
5) Autocannons need to be taken in far greater numbers than I have been, or not at all
So here we go:
HQ: CCS - 135
2 x plasma, Chimera
Stays back for orders & killing things with plasma - killy enough to do a job, not killy enough early to be a big threatElite: Marbo - 65
Hide out of LoS now mo-foTroop: Platoon - 845
PCS - 120
3 x melta guns, krak grenades, chimera
Forward melta teamBlob - 385
3 squads, 3 x lascannons, commisar, krak grenades, (2 x chimera given to SWS)
home camper and lascannonsSWS - 65
3 x melta guns (chimera from blob)
Forward melta teamSWS - 65
3 x melta guns (chimera from blob)
Forward melta teamHWS - 105
3 x lascannons
more campers, more lascannonsHWS - 105

Forward melta teamBlob - 270
3 squads, 3 x flamer, commisar, 4 x power axes
Run along with forward melta teams Heavy:
LR Executioner - 205
Lascannon, the big plasma gun thing
Run behind bolb with forward melta teams, or stay back as appropriateHeavy:

12 Scoring units
5 chimeras (4 melta teams)
2 AV14
93 infantry
Anti-tank:
9 lascannons at 3 targets
4 melta teams
Russes with lascannons & 3 x S7 AP2
Not convinced by the russes, but I think they'll work better than
LRBTs...
The idea is obviously to throw half my army wildly at my opponent giving a number of threats that can't be ignored, while he other half of the army sit back and shout PEW PEW PEW at the top of their voices.
Can it work?
