The media calls it "waffling" ... as we see politicians do daily on the news. However, Jervis and Company are sounding more like "Baghdad Bob" everyday ... Their credibility at this point is "limited" ... IMO ...

I believe they were a micro machines style toy called "action force" or similar. I know I certainly had quite a few pieces from their ranges - still have some that I used to used for colour scheme test models rather than waste a precious leman Russ!
They also did ranges of HUGE fighting vehicles. I had (might still have somewhere in the loft...) a number of them including an 18 inch long mobile command centre - think CI on steroids. Rather cool at the time & most of them have been pillaged for weaponry & useful gubbinz in more recent years
I havent seen them around in many yeas though.

Hello all.
This 3k list was successful in beating a well played IG army on the weekend.
2 Tac + 1 hunter for each.
1 Dev.
1 Assault.
1 Terminator.
1 Landraider.
1 Whirlwind.
1 Mixed Predator.
2 Warhounds
Total of 9 activations with no characters and no garrison troops.
I decided to forgo the usual T.hawk assault and was glad I did because my IG opponent had taken 5 AA tanks (Hydras?). He really hates my air assaults =).
The Warhounds actually survived the battle (just barely) by staying out of the Shadow Swords and other big guns sights. They were a big factor in dominating one side of the table and breaking a couple of large formations. The only unit in the IG army left unbroken in the third turn was the Heavily upgraded SHT formation. The truth is I didnt even try to take that monster out and spent most of the game avoiding it.
What do you all think?

I have to agree here. The Razorbacks can be quite nice and the added firepower can help against many of the armies.

Thanks for the reply.
I have some Razorbacks on order but they did not arrive in time for this battle.
The only thing with regards to switching up the Razorbacks for the formation of Preds is the loss of an activation.
In that game I had three activations left after the IG player was finished. Those extra activations allowed me to coordinate some really nasty crossfire attacks that finally nailed those damn Leman Russ.
With the combination of those extra activations at the end of the turn, plus being able to go first the following turn, I was able to handle some of his large mechanized units.
Anyway that was like my second game played.....sooo I am always open to suggestions on how to better my army.

Good point about extra activations. You have a good combined arms force but the SMs lack the FA assets, and that is one of their weaknesses. I would have been tempted to take out his Shadowswords with my Warhounds or vise versa ! I like killing big things !

Yeah, I would stay away from the shadowswords myself. Warhounds are fragile against those buggers, unless you could jump 'em out of cover. And any Guard player who leaves his Shadowswords in a weak position like that deserves to have them stomped.

As previously mentioned very light on AA, if you ever face Tau.... it will be messy.
