Hi guys, was looking at getting some help in filling out my RG list. There's about 500pts left to fill and I was curious on what else I could do since most of my slots are filled.

Whats going in the Dreadclaw (not a great delviery system most often)? Id suggest more Destroyers, but their ML are that good, power mauls are funny with rad nades. Slap a vexilia on those jet bikes so they dont route as much. Plasma moritat is underrated in Decap Strike, very good anti dread model on his own. More line wouldnt hurt imo. Oh you dont need or want that many AA missiles on the doritos

Unsure what you got/can get your hands on, so feel free to disregard any of this accordingly:
- might as well throw a power weapon on your Moritat, even if you're mostly planning on shooting
- like the Tartaros Praetor build, but give him a lightning claw for the additional attack (it's free!). Also, where's he going?
- who's in the Dreadclaw? The Contemptor?
- the Recons would benefit from an Augury and an Infravisor
- jetbikes get annoyingly zip from the Legion trait; that and their squishiness lends me to recommend Speeders of either stripe instead (but I appreciate they're easier to get hold of)
- your best bet is probably to bulk out a lot of your existing units
- Dark Furies are the absolute shit and I heartily recommend
Oh yeah, and like the sarge says - squeeze in another line unit if you can. Maybe a Tartaros command squad if you can

@chilly saffron
I'm guessing you can't assault out of a Dreadclaw? Not an Assault Vehicle?
Can swap the Volkites for plasma on the Moritat.
I wouldn't mind Rad/Maul shenanigans but most of my friends protect their T4 guys with multiple wounds by having some form of 2+ save.
Just realized Skyfire Snap Shots against ground targets. I can see why I don't need that much AA then. I was gonna dreadnought hunt with them until that change.
@drowsy grove
- Can add a PW to the Moritat. Would a claw be better for the same points despite specialist weapons?
-Tartaros Praetor was gonna roll with the Deliverers. Guess they need a delivery mechanism.
-The original plan was the Deliverers would go in the Dreadclaw.
-I thought the Infravisor only benefits the character, which would be the sergeant. Can give them an Aug Scanner over the Nuncio.
-Guess I need to try and get my hands on some Javelins.
-
That's what I was curious about since I was practically tapped out for slots.

I thought Dark Furies were really expensive. Sudden Strike helps them do their job I suppose.
-Can grab a Command Tartaros squad I suppose.

Deliverers have deep strike native, dont really need an HQ attached. Infravisor grants NV to the sgt, so the squad benefits, but only the sgt gets +1BS. I sneak a char sabre in my moritat if he needs to challenge ahead
Furies are absolute glass cannons unless you can get Shrouded against that high strength shooting that gets thrown at them

Well the turn they drop at least they get Shrouded 5 in decapitation strike (the Furies).
Am I maxed out on 2 units can be marked for death since a Vigilator can do it and a Seeker?
If I drop the Dread Claw, I'd have to put the Tartaros unit somewhere else. I forgot NV is shared.

You can assault out of a Dreadclaw - but not on the turn you arrive from Reserves (except via a Drop Pod Assault)
The issue for me is that as the Deliverers have native DS, it's just a bit wasteful to buy them a transport to accomplish the same thing (and prevent them from charging out of DS too). Give it to the Tartaros squad if you go that way or drop it for Javs or Furies
Deredeos can switch back and forth between Skyfire and normal, so don't sweat that too much.
As sgtwillard says, a Charnabal is also a good option for a cheeky merk on the Mori.
Don't dump the Nuncio if you can - assuming at least some of this is coming in via DS, it's handy to have for the scatter reroll
Furies can be a bit pricey but they're well worth the outlay - I can't think of anyone who would call them overcosted

Dreadclaw hasnt been an Assault Vehicle in HH2 at all sadly
The Borealis Missiles are fixed Skyfire, not a great option

Whoops! That's my bad, need to reread these things before giving out shitty advice. I must've been thinking of the Kharybdis

I was looking at the keywords myself. 😅
Where should the Tartaros Praetor go then? I can lump the destroyers into the Dreadclaw, or drop the Dreadclaw entirely since they have Infiltrate.
Praetor still needs a home haha.
chilly saffron
ohh those are foot destroyers huh. I use jump pack destroyers myself, dunno what transport would be ok for them honestly
If you want the foot guys, id take the disintegrators as thats their unique option
icy light
They aren't heavy so they would be able to Infiltrate yeah?

If they go up to 10 man, can give em two Rad MLs. And let them post up to fire.
