Post subject:  Steel Legion Army list critique

Hey all,
I've spent a bit of time thinking up some army lists for the Steel Legion, and wondered if some veteran Steel Legion players could offer any thoughts. I imagine they're all a bit poo, but I'd like to see where the main weaknesses/faults are before I go spending money.

I'd like to keep the Vultures, two Infantry formations and the Reaver, as I already have those ready and I love the models; hence why they're the core of all of the forces.

I'm not an expert by any means, but most of those look pretty light on activations..... I'm a SL player too, and most advice I've seen is to aim for 10-11 activations at 3k, I could be horribly wrong however, so disregard my advice if you wish!

I'd agree. Those are about the same as what I use, activation-wise, and I tend to run multiple tank companies.

Another thing. Russ Squadrons and Mech Inf. don't mix. One of the strengths of the Mech. Inf. Coy. is it's speed, and adding Russes reduces that by 1/3. You're better off with the Russes in a Company. Note also that each Company Upgrade may be taken only once (you have two tank squadrons added to each Mech Inf Coy in the second list).

Your first list is probably the best. I'd look at:

Reg HQ, Hydra 550
Mech Inf, Hydra 450
Mech Inf, Hydra 450
Sentinel Squadron 100
Storm Trooper Platoon, Valkyries 350
Vulture Squadron 300
Artillery Battery (either Basilisk Or Manticore) 250
Artillery Battery (either Basilisk Or Manticore) 250
T-Bolts 150
T-Bolts 150

Maybe Switch out the Vultures and Arty for a Tank Company with a Hydra and a Sentinel Squadron.
