It's rough around the edges but easy to build. Yours will of course be awesome and made of plasticard cool....but have a little look...

And due to half the games taking place with night fighting, and so easy to get cover, I'd go for a Colossus, instead of the hellhounds. it's so frustrating shooting stuff the first turns and having them save like terminators! Griffons are ok cos they're so cheap for what they do.<br />Just two things to make clear:<br />1. Counter-attack doesn't work for the whole blob, just the wolf guy. At least it says so in my book, though could be wrong cos it's a Spanish one hehe.<br />2. PCS can't issue get back in the fight. That's only the CCS. I like 4 flamers in the PCS and a boltgun on the commander (because of the faq), they really hurt gretchings, cultists, kroot, etc that are usually camping in the back.<br />Great points anyway, thanx for sharing!RoockieBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436205685173809900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-25947028542338424382013-09-20T12:50:48.088+01:002013-09-20T12:50:48.088+01:00If you are trying save points, a naked ccs is act...If you are trying save points, a naked ccs is actually cheaper than a psyker - thou depends what your doing with the psyker. Is agree that they are an underrated force multiplier, triple tapping lasguns with misfortune on top is a nice trick. <br /><br />I'm also a huge fan of penal legion, love em!

I can get the sternguard ...good thoughts, thanks. <br />I can get the sternguard pod by removing both a Griffon and a Hellhound, but i dont know if that is worth it. <br />The point is, i like the overall list, and there is a LOT of scope for tweaking, so i think i'll give it a try. <br /><br />time to build a better thunderfire!Atreideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304081312256836817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-46765154909511545722013-09-19T23:24:09.396+01:002013-09-19T23:24:09.396+01:00Ahaha!

Two is somewhat overkill versus their common targets and vendettas work perfectly well in squadron as 6th doesn't punish squadrons like 5th did. This may allow you to maximise the use of Hellhounds... <br />Griffons - I like them a lot, they are great for barraging troops and certain support units such as tau drones and pathfinders as well as cover reliant shit like jetbikes... However, with 2 Hellhounds as well as 2 Griffons I wonder if you could perhaps spend the points on another type of firepower? Perhaps one hellhound and keep the griffons, grab some sternguard in a pod? Throw a few grav weapon on them for anti riptide and Wraithknight duty? <br />Just thoughts buddy...Venerable Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216367267460059729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-29180366743093749372013-09-19T17:27:44.520+01:002013-09-19T17:27:44.520+01:00i did consider this, but I actually really rate Gr...i did consider this, but I actually really rate Griffons. I used two Manticores in my 1500 list at Throne of Skulls and they are amazing, but using just one of them just doesn't cut it in my opinion. If i worked this up to 1850 i would certainly use two Manticores and lose a few bits and bobs elsewhere to do it.
