Mkay, so we’re up to 1500 finally… So, what I’d consider a “full” army at least. So, I’ll throw down some Mech and Drop lists and see who I draw as an opponent this week… The Mech 1250 list (modified some) won out against a Dark Eldar Mech list… Highlights being the Scout SGT taking down the big nasty Vecht (SP?) character’s Raider in close combat… That and the army actually working as intended…

Mkay,

FT 1500 Mech:

Reclusiarch 130

Elite

Furioso DN ( Magna Grapple, EA, Flamer) 165

Drop Pod 35

Sanguinary Priests

#1 Hand Flamer, PW 75

#2 PW, HF 75

Troops

Assault Squad (PP, PF, HF) 150

Razorback (-35, LC/TLP) 55

Assault Squad (PW, HF, Melta gun) 135

Razorback (TLHF, -35) 20

Death Company (5, PF, PW) 140

Razorback (TLAC) 90

EA(15)

DC DN (Talons) 125

Fast

Baal Predator (HB Sponson) 145

Baal Predator (HB Sponson) 145

Not sure which one I’ll use, but since I finished up the basics on my FT “Blood Talons” conversion for my ancient Death Company Dreadnaught, I’ll be more likely to use that one…  Magnets and green stuff to sculpt the arms, used parts from an ancient ICE Mech from the dead “Mechwarrior” game as the big saw blades…  It’s unique at least :-)

New Codex...

Mkay, headed into the New codex list...  First shot is 1000 points.  A bit tight to fit in all the elements that I'd like to...  So, here's a Drop list.  Plan is that the DN drops in due to the Drop pod rules (half drop in on turn one, rounding up and half of one is one :-)).  Now the Pod has a locator beacon on it.  The pod will drop right into the Enemy force and the DN comes out to play...  The obvious threat is the big nasty DN, but with the beacon there the rest of the force Deep Striking in does not deviate within 6" of the pod.  So, the rest of the force starts dropping in on turn 2...  Should be a quick and dirty one no matter what happens.  Oh, and a 10 man Scout squad and a Baal Predator (also a Scout)...
