This list came out of thinking about last weekend's game and how my opponent likes to drop dreadnoughts in my face, so next friday I'm going to return the favour.

blow up my ravager, will you? I'll show you!

You are missing a TB in each squad, or you have one too many Blasters.

I think it is a good list, I would take 3 Blasters and 1 Cannon for each TB squad myself, or even 2 and 2. You will really need to keep the Hellions safe, so I am not so sure about giving them a squad leader and agnonizer, but it could come in handy.

thanks for catching that little typo. I edited the list to reflect the one I am going to be running this friday.


The hellions are there to take down a weaker flank, act as interference, engage a fast attack unit or tie up an elite choice.

I would suggest on taking nightshields off Ravagers. As they are probably going to shoot stuff from afar, flickerfields are probably the way to go. I always felt nightshields were supposed to hamper bolters and such. They don't have much effect on more serious guns, as their range is still too great.

^ +1.

I'd probably merge the two Hellion mobs so they can all benfit from the Baron's excellent abilities, then with the points saved on the Helliarch and agoniser get 3 Wracks to be the second mandatory troop choice. Just let them sit out of sight on an objective or something.

I agree with swapping the nightshields for flickerfields unless you're up against Grey Knights without Psyflemen or Land Raiders. Psycannons don't like night shields at all.

bad news everyone. the opponent forgot about our pre-arranged game. So I don't know when I'll field this list.
