1750

Basic Strategy – If I go first, scout up the vendettas to 12” from a target that needs to die. On my turn, vets get out and meltagun/meltabomb it. Vendettas go to town with 3 TL LasCannons. The rest of the army sits back and shoots… Using the last turns to dash for objectives. If I don’t get first turn, I move the vendettas up normally. Flamers patrol for nasty drop pod units and vets in the chimera wait for land raiders (if they make it there). This is the type of army I was scared of facing with my orks/sws, so I thought I would run it! Marbo is there to nuke DS termies or anything that I pop out out of a transport and generally be annoying. He’s gonna go to ground for a 2+ cover if anything even looks at him, making them waste firepower. Obviously the CCS is plasma death, just waiting for anything to get close. Overall, its 11 AV12 vehicles and 69 bodies. Very powerful overall.
