Well my FW order still hasn?t arrived (well it has only been 14 days, but I thought that they would have a plentiful supply of epic stuff, so either it is sold out or they are focusing on 40K sales). ?So my three tech guard lists will have lots of foot sloggers backed up by really expensive war engines. ?Come to think of it that sounds like the Ad mech?s standard plan.
List one - Heavy hitters God bane Reaver titan (from the legio vesta list) 2 arm mounted volcano cannons Carapace turbo laser destroyers Two defender turrets BTS

Linitanei cohort (5 skitarri, 1 tribune) Skitarri maniple (5 skitarri, 1 tribune) Magos (1 magos, 1 skitarri honour guard, 1 command chimera)
The third list is designed to see if 3 SHT ad 6 MBT as a single formation is broken. ?It is slowed down by the SHTs, but the smaller tanks can hide behind theirbigger brethren to avoid being shot (or to get hull down) and can be spaced to reduce the effects of BMs. ?For example a normal SHT company with 3BM would lose the shots form a single SHT (quite a lot), but with 3 russes 1 can be dropped back to the back of the unit to be suppressed leaving two for the SHTs, which wont surpress them.
Edit: forgot the third infantry fornmation in list one.
