500 pt Astra Militarum Anonymous 2016-03-20 21:54:02 Post No. 46143553 [Report]

Starting a 1v1v1 campaign, the contenders are Imperial Fists, Orks, and I am playing Astra Militarum all at 500pt. The missions are on a 4x4 heavy ruined city, lots of impassible terrain and cover.

My list currently is:
Lord Commissar with Camo Cloak, Carapace Armor, and a Plasma Pistol.

Troops:
Veteran Squad
-Forward Sentries
-Missile Launcher

Veteran Squad
-Forward Sentries
-Heavy Bolter

Elites:
Bullogryn Squad w/t slab shields and grenadier gaunlets

Ratlings

Fast Attack:
Rough Riders
-Meltagun x2

I wondering if there is any suggestions on the list, i know ratlings and rough riders are some what looked down on, but i like them and in a small game with lots of cover they can probably get their points in.

Drop the overpriced plasma pistol, and the lord commissar for that matter. Take a cheap command squad with flamers or grenade launchers. Buy flamers or GLs on your vets. Exchange heavy bolter and missile launcher for autocannon. Maybe get rid off rough riders and take an armoured sentinel with plasma cannon (other weapons are good too) or a wyver. Do you expect tanks? If yes, keep riders.

Meltas replace their laspistols reducing their melee attacks on a charge which is their bread and butter

Command Squad is much better than commissar and cheaper, maybe add a floating primaris psyker

Command Squad

Infantry Platoon
+30 Conscripts

That's 115 models. Don't get murdered by flamers and eventually you'll hit something.

Wyverns have 32 armor points and are a good fit for that kind of map.
