Obviously the lack anti-air is a problem, but there's not much that can be done about it given the codex. Anti-Tank seems fine, though I think your backfield troop squad is a bit overkill. I'd split it into two squads, a 9 man w/ML to sit on the Quad Gun, and then a 10 man w/ Plasma to advance and thicken your charge. <br /><br />Also list feels a bit one dimensional. Pretty much all it is is a swarm of footslogging power armour (w/o Frag grenades) coming straight across the board to throw a kegger in your opponents deployment zone.<br /><br />My thought is, why not send a few folks out early to set up chairs and stuff for the party. <br /><br />If you don't mind using allies, I would drop one of the Masters' of Sanctity, and replace him with a Wolf Priest w/ Saga of the Hunter and Melta Bombs (same points cost). Then swap one of the Crusader Squads for a 15 Man Blood Claw squad w/ Power Weapon & 2x Meltaguns (Comes in at 245 Pts, so you could add an extra couple Neophytes maybe).<br /><br />The list is still the same overall, and the Blood Claws even have +2 attacks on the charge. However now you can use the Wolf Priest to outflank with one of the mobs. Saga of the Hunter gives him Stealth & Outflank, which he'll confer onto whichever unit he joins. And because he has Acute Senses, he can re-roll when determining which side he comes in on.<br /><br />So you can still juggernaught across the board, but with the optional added threat of flanking with one of the swarms. <br /><br />Just some thoughts man.Ataraxeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09888477812594726417noreply@blogger.com
