Played the CPT Tycho list this evening, and I think it's about the best I can field at the moment... Comparing Tycho with Seth, I do think that Tycho is better in every respect for my list... I need to work a bit on reserves, as I lost First Blood and my Razorback (forgot to roll for Night Fight), I think I could have reserved it and kept it alive a bit longer... Tycho was able to charge off and destroy a Leman Russ with his Str 5+2d6 HtH attacks so I think he'll so almost as well as Seth against light vehicles. And with the Combi-melta and SI ammo combined with him being a Character I think he will be able to place shots pretty well. With the Drop pod, I CAN drop them in, or I can start the squad in cover and shoot say, no cover save shots to deal with things hidden in a horde... I can also split him off and run him with anther squad, or even I guess as the Death Company version...
So, the Sternguard are good, and with the Drop Pod here and mostly painted the squad is done. The Heavy Flamer is working out FAR better than I'd hoped as well. The Scouts are done and FINALLY actually killed a few things... The snipers picked off a specialist in the IG HQ with the 6 to hit, and the SGT running the Quad Gun allowed me to kill off a bunch of HW teams... Still haven't faced a flier in a while, so not sure how viable this setup really is overall, but working well so far...
Assault Squads are painted, just need a bit of work on the bases I think, might need to work on the weapon mixes a bit... Flamer and Melta are working wonders for now... So, 2 more full squads about done with just some detail work and base cleanup to do. Will likely run one as a minimum size squad in a Razorback though, seems to work just fine with the discounted fast Tank...
Baal Predator was good, and frankly a game winner for me as he had no answer for it when it finally appeared on turn 4... Can't count on that happening often, and frankly would rather have had it on turn 2, but... Just a bit more paint and seal it up...
