Oh!  Sorry about that.  I must have lightning-scrolled past it.  You know what?  I think I'll shut up until I play the list. :;):

Typos / ommissions:


- Bombard photo missing.

- Siegfried photo missing.

- Page 29 : "Vendetta's" should be "Vendettas" (for both core choices)


Now I think I'll go start planning a "Vanlysian" army list...  :agree:

We are missing quite a few photos. Time ran out but they will be added in the 6 month review.

Ah righto, I thought you'd had them all submitted in the end bar the Siegemasters command unit.

Do you have them all now?

I like the look of these new lists, plenty of interesting options. Good stuff EpicUK!

My Steel Legion list is unchanged, I'm unaffected by the Titan pts.
The Deathstrike stat correction is a long needed change, it was just unnecessarily unique which through up annoying questions.

The Air-Cav- it's considerably limited in scope- no Artillery, no tanks, no anti-Titan, etc. I think my biggest hurdle would be buying the 22-26 Valkyrie models I'd need.
Which is a shame, as I really like the Air Cav idea for an IG army (having wrote a list myself).

The Tank Regiment. I'll be honest, I scothed at this idea when it was rumour- the Steel Legion list can very easily make a Tank regiment army.
But having read it, it's very tempting to eventually have one.

I like the Tank Hunters- Scout and Sniper seem very characterful, I can imagine these Stugs...Tank Hunters sit patiently in excellent camouflage waiting for advancing enemy tanks.

I will have 2 units as my Overwatch Garrisons. How did they do in playtesting? 3 2+ Overwatch AT shots on targets of my choice with -1 Armour Save 60cm seems brutal. It creates a no-go area over most of the board.
Trying to shift 4+ re-roll sat in Overwatch in cover ain't easy either.

My only complaint is to agree with someone previous on Tank Riders. They are actually better protected than Guardsman sat inside Chimera's, whilst being able to add their Firefight.
A sufficiently harsh rule would be:

Tank Riders- Everytime the transporting tank takes a hit and must roll an Armour Save, the Tank Riders must make a 6+ (4+/5+ if your generous) Armour Save too. Reduce their pts cost accordingly.
So they are a cheap way to increase the formation size and provide infantry to make good use of cover, etc, but if they are on the Leman Russ and the Leman Russ come under fire- they will die very quick.

No we are still missing-
Siege infantry
Siegfried

I think everything else is in the process of being painted

Suppress them before the get to fire. In a guard army if they deploy forward they will be out of air cover and in range of everyone's artillery.

When I've used them they have performed much like Hellfire cannons - the stats look good but they actually spend most of the time broken.

Hmmm, well I have some Krieg infantry painted up, but they're very grey. I would have thought someone else would have sent you a picture of theirs.

We may have to wait of the MoD to clear TRC back into the country!

Aren't TRC's Siege infantry just Steel Legion troopers in winter camo?

Quick note on tank hunters, they are easily suppressed and garrisoning scouts often caused them a problem.

I'd be tempted to take half a dozen formations of them.  :)
