Ok, my friend and I plan on doing some demo games at the local GW shop and gaming stores, just to get some interest going. He's going to play his IG, and I'll be playing my Space Marines.
IG are great for epic demos, but anyone getting the poo kicked out of them is pretty neat too. He's doing a mostly-mechanized force, so it shouldn't be *that* hard to beat him. The problem is that his mechanization is fairly well set up. Here's what he's got:
-6 baneblades
-3 shadowswords
-6 Deathstrikes
-12 hellhounds
-6 thunderbolts
-13 basilisks
-2 bombards
-9 manticores
-9 hydras
-10 leman russ tanks
He has no titans, but that's enough artillery and SHT to make me want to kill myself.
We'll be playing 2700 point games, and I'd like some help with my space marines. Should I go all drop pods? Air assault? Teleport? Regular mobile marines? His list's glaring weakness is CC, I'm just not sure how to capitalize that.
I have all SM formations available to me, the only real limits being that I have 2 terminator formations and 1 scout formation. I also have a squad of thunderbolts and a squad of marauders, but judging by his unit choice, I won't be taking any aircraft.
Here are the lists I've been thinking about so far:
List 1: All ground forces
-Tactical Detachment (3 Rhinos, Hunter) - 375 points
-Tactical Detachment (6 TLC Razorbacks, Hunter) - 525 points
-Tactical Detachment (3 Rhinos) - 300 points
-Terminator Detachment (Captain) - 375 points
-Terminator Detachment - 325 points
-Devastator Detachment (2 Land Raiders) - 450 points
-Scout Detachment (2 Rhinos) - 150 points
-Land Speeder Detachment - 200 points
8 Formations, 55 units
List 2: Titans included!
-Warlord Titan - 850 points
-Tactical Detachment (4 TLC Razorbacks, 1 Rhino, Supreme Commander) - 500 points
-Tactical Detachment (Hunter) - 375 points
-Terminator Detachment (Chaplain) - 375 points
-Scout Detachment (2 Rhinos) - 150 points
-Bike Detachment (Captain) - 250 points
-Bike Detachment - 200 points
7 formations, 42 units
List 3: Death from above
-Thunderbolt Squadron - 150 points
-Marauder Squadron - 300 points
-Tactical Detachment (4 TLC Razorbacks, 1 Rhino, Hunter, Captain) - 525 points
-Tactical Detachment (3 Rhinos) - 300 points
-Tactical Detachment (3 Rhinos) - 300 points
-Terminator Detachment - 325 points
-Bike Detachment (Captain) - 250 points
-Bike Detachment - 200 points
-Assault Detachment - 175 points
-Assault Detachment - 175 points
10 formations, 56 units
We won't be able to see eachother's lists before the games, so I want something that will be versatile and will be able to handle whatever army his models can put together (which is ALL TANKS!) I want to fit in some Annihilators, but I'm not sure where.
Any suggestions?
