| I'm a fan for 2k for a quick evening game, but you might want to make the playing area a bit smaller (narrower). I was hoping we could get by with a 3x4 foot gaming board. That would make 2k ideal for us. Not looking to go play at tournaments anytime soon, so its just me and my mate. We are pretty ... |

| 2k is an an unusual points to play, it’s sort of in what’s considered a bit of a dead zone in as much as it’s on the very bottom limit of what the army lists are balanced for so options are limited and playing the standard scenario it’s not really any quicker than 2750pts. But thinking about this, ... |

| Yeah, for a 2k. List I've switched to Siegemasters. I guess steel legion needs a bit more points to work the way I want to. For now I guess I'm doing a siegemasters list and take it from there. |

| at 3k i'd say make both shadowswords, possible that at 2k keeping 1 baneblade would have some utility. Adding to what others have said BB is an all round *and* slow. The SS is the same speed but does all it's work at long range, so no problem. If you go RHQ+Tank coy then yes, probably locked to 6 a... |

| Allright, so change one of the Baneblades to a Shadowsword then? or change both of them to Shadowswords? I said before to test both to be familiar with them as you could end up using both even if the Shadowsword is more useful, or for sure if you play 4000+ points games and you like Super Heavies i... |

| So I have been thinkering with several Imperial Guard lists to get my activations above 6. Which turns out pretty hard to do. I've managed to get this list together which has 8 activations. However it is a lot slower lost then my steel legion list, becaise I based it on the Siege masters list. Not s... |

| Being trying some other guard lists, but I can get something reasonably above 6 activations to be honest. Other then spamming sentinels or super heavy tanks, which don't seems like a pretty good idee to be honest! |

| Because it is an all rounder, and the Shadowsword fits into a role the Baneblade cannot compete with. Like Glyng said, it is not bad, but the role of the Baneblade can be accomplished with others but none can do Shadowsword's job, so if having the option of the two one would take the Shadowsword. A... |

| alright so that gives me something to play with. I choose baneblades because I thought these were the basic variant of the chassis and probably a good allrounder. I can change them to shadowswords I guess. What makes the Shadowsword so much better then the baneblade though? Right now, we are not usi... |

Hello,
Thanks. I could drop the supreme commander for a normal mechanised infantry compay though. Not really sure about the commander.
So overall this is a good amount of activations? Whats the advantage of a shadowsword over a Baneblade?
The griffons are more a points filler though. |
