Oki, I warned you in the title, no name calling, you knew from the title I was ousting blasphemies here.

I'm reading 'Double eagle', and I got the idea of writing up a Phantine army list. Crazy, I know, as nobody with their right mind would have so many aircraft at all, but still, it'd be funny to see how it would work.

To explain: The Phantine homeworld is nigh impossible to fight over with land troops. The only real space to fight any fight is the skies. Thus, over three-quarters of all phantine imperial guardsmen is a full pilot.
As this is not very feasible, or fun, in E:A, I decided to give them large groups of valkyrie mounted guardsmen.

First, a couple of guess-pointers:
The biggest weaknesses of the army I think are in the fact that it ?an easily have lots of eggs in one basket. A single main bomber wing and that's a third of your points in 3K.
Another weakness is the lack of decent foot troops. To hold objectives you need foot troops.  Only cannonfodder drop troops with some extra heavy weapons is not the ideal body to conquer objectives with.

This is all counterbalanced by the nigh-invulnerability of the aircraft. Leaders, supreme commanders, all lengthens the life of these flying guardsmen, but with a steep price tag.

As I can't seem to edit my post, here's a note:

This is no really serious list. Please do not take it as such, but see it as you would a home-brew list for WHFb or WH40K; just something fun to use on special occasions. :)

I would rename Wings as Flights or Squadrons - the Wing would be the entire Army. A Wing is equivalent to a Regiment or Brigade or Division depending on what military you are talking about.  But that is really all I can say, I am actually considering getting more aircraft and using them more than I use Titans - but then I am in the USAF.
