@feral pewter here

Feels like a fair list, solid but not oppressive

#

i hoped to plop venatarii in, but i dont want to rush glueing them in to stands for game with just basecoat and wash done... might be annoying later to not mess up clear plastic xd

#

so 3 saggitarum utterly useless in 40k due to not being 5 came to rescue!

feral pewter
#

Yeah that’s the main 10th Ed change I utterly disliked

#

Plenty of issues but that one makes very little sense to me

gusty thicket
#

3 man squads made custo feel like that elite troopers option

#

now that feels like some damn DA lover wanted to still play deathwing spam....

#

I loved the one man allarus squads of 9th, wonderful theming

#

yea so fun

#

With the HH game, I suspect the key will be being careful to keep your line alive, you only have 3 units and if they are focused you’ll have trouble scoring objectives

#

Don’t be afraid to get in the enemy’s face with literally every unit, even the Sag

#

Oh only use i see for sags is advance pop off that once per game shot XD its so sad, and then hope they get to use meltabombs

feral pewter
#

Yeah get the ID shots off while you can, possibly as a return fire/overwatch

#

The job of the sag and the tele are to draw fire, the sag bully in melee more than people will expect with either the melta bombs or 5-7 misiricord attacks per guy

#

Dunno if its wise choice over lastrum but i went with Adrathic on jetbikes, since it seems cool and bulks out nicely

#

and seem literally the same into heavy targets as corvae

#

if not slightly better

feral pewter
#

Adrathics aren’t optimal on the bikes in most cases. The bolters are better than they might look because they are 4 shots each S6 with shred, so you can do serious damage to a tac squad in a pinch. The issue with the adrathics is most of the things you want to shoot with them will get a 2+ save against them. Also the AP3 means that the gets hot cuts though the bikes’ armour save

#

Against things like mech the armourbane is really nice, and vs daemons they put in work, but unless you’re trying to soak up points I wouldn’t take them

gusty thicket
#

i could take as much as possible corvea and then swap rest for bolters

#

but adrathic got that.... vibe

feral pewter
#

Oh the adrathics are cool, don’t get me wrong

#

The corvae is nice because it’s twin linked, 3shots and S9 so you double out marines, they’re just so expensive, and the bikes are built for melee punch

Oh you could put flamers on both achillus

#

I rate S6 flamers

Wounding marines on 2s
