<@&877301048761540639> I've used several days of collected knowledge and recommendations, 500 extra points, and a healthy helping of spite to improve the old 2.5k list. Plan is to have the predators and recon squads vibing in the back while tacs, heavy weapons, and robots push up the board and pin everything in front of them. Any advice or swaps you guys would make?

Hey I may be wrong and I’m far from an expert but I think there are a couple things.

#

What sticks out to me is the Domitar Cohort, Termies, and Dred are the real beefy dudes and all of them are just walking?

#

MOS + Havocs bring the pain for sure, and looks like you are using that to defend against deep strike ect.

Signal master is probably gonna stick with the tyrants, they'll be sticking pretty far back with the recon squads most likely

#

Havocs and tacs all have rhinos so they can go places

#

I don't even know if domitars can get in any transports

#

I'm also far from an expert, I'm just getting my first models and throwing lists together, any advice is appreciated

Yeah the tyrants being on foot makes sense.

#

Wait, what units here have line?

#

tacs, as far as I can see

#

also, arguably you want the Domitars on foot as well, because they are a wall of wounds filling the Distraction Carnifex role

recon squads have line too

#

at least according to battlescribe

Yeah they do

#

Idk I’m just taking a stab at it but even with 3 squads, the Tacs have no upgrades for survivability or melee

also "good luck getting to us past the pinning"

Alexis Pollux says hi.

#

It really is a cool list.

#

Tacticals in IW exist for two reasons.

  1. scoring in the 33% of missions where that's actually relevant

  2. making people think they matter so the big guns can do the real work

Very on-theme

#

If y’all have a moment to look at my 1st Siege of Cthonia list I have up I’d appreciate it. I know it’s not meta, but I like the theme.
