"War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it." ~ Desiderius Erasmus
The Fleshtearers, answering the General Recall to Baal are moving quickly. But we need to more so quickly that even our normal tactics of “Hit them fast and hard, kill them all and move on” are not sufficient. Speed is far more important than casualties. General tactics will be Scouts heading out to identify high value targets and call in the Assault troops. The Schwerpunkt will involve an extremely rapid assault via Drop Pod (DN or Sternguard Vets) or Vanguard Vets assaulting out of Deep Strike. The remaining forces will follow up the initial assault. Holding our own objectives will be difficult, but we will take theirs instead or die trying. An unfortunate reality of our situation is the Death Company. As we lose more Marines to the Black Rage, we will direct them toward the enemy and let the Chaplain lead them to cause the most damage on their way out.
As we move back to Baal, we will on occasion fight with our allies. For the current assault, our Scouts have made contact with elements of Bran Redmaw’s Great Company. They are currently holding an Aegis Defense Line, and we will move to support them. We cannot stop, but we will render aid to our Brothers, and by doing so may relieve some of the pressure on Baal.So, first draft of this one, the list I am looking at is:
Reclusiarch (Jump Pack)
Death Company (Jump packs, 5 normal, 2 PF/Bolter)
DC DN (Drop Pod, beacon, H Flamer)
Scout Squad (9 Snipers, Heavy Bolter, SGT with P Fist)
Sternguard (6 Combi Melta, 4 Combi Plasma, Drop Pod w/ Beacon)
Vindicator (Siege Shield)
Allies:
Rune Priest
Grey Hunters (Razorback w/ TLAC, Flamer)
Long Fang Pack (3 Missile, 2 Heavy Bolter)
Aegis Line w/Laser Cannon
Thinking that the Laser Cannon will be interesting for anything but the IG horde out there... We'll see how the lads do though...
