A lot of the transports you trade the squad for are a lot cheaper than the squad you're essentially sacrificing. If you can one-two the contents too you can come out ahead, but that gets even trickier with scattering demo charges.<br /><br />Back in 4th ed I ran a Light Infantry/Drop Troops list a lot that was fun, using the infiltrating guys to help hold ground and set up the Drop Troopers. Sadly hard to do with the Elysians, but hopefully the more mobile/longer ranged vendettas can help.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Good luck!sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-10780108007243824382011-11-20T17:52:41.073+00:002011-11-20T17:52:41.073+00:00I am lost for words Andy.

If it wasn't for him and his stupid pink fairies ....<br /><br />Anyway, list looks good spirited. I was kind of hoping you'd look down a route similar to your last list, but change it up again - some what competitive, but not just spam, rinse and repeat.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.com
