Trevy's Painting Table

This is a bit of a random tactical post.  Be warned; tactics be afoot!

I thought about the list that I used for my last batrep, and found that because of some silly mathematical error or somesuch, I actually had 20 points remaining in it that I didn't spend.  Looking back at my list, I don't really know what I spend them on...  I guess Meltabombs are a decent investment, but then again I'd have to remember who had them.  Lame.

Then, come to find out; Razorbacks are only 5 points more than Rhinos.  Awesome.

So; here's my latest list for the feared Angels Perditus:

Sanguinor

Sanguinary Priest w/ Jump Pack

Sanguinary Priest w/ Jump Pack

Sanguinary Priest w/ Jump Pack

Scout Squad w/ Camo Cloaks, Sniper Rifles, Missile Launcher

10-man Assault Squad w/ Meltagun, Flamer, Power Weapon

10-man Assault Squad w/ Meltagun, Flamer, Power Weapon

10-man Assault Squad w/ Meltagun, Flamer, Power Weapon

10-man Tactical Squad w/ Missile Launcher, Flamer

Razorback w/ Additional Stormbolter

10-man Tactical Squad w/ Missile Launcher, Flamer

Razorback w/ Additional Stormbolter

Devastator Squad w/ 4 Missile Launchers

Devastator Squad w/ 4 Missile Launchers

Unfortunately that still leaves me with 10 points to spend...  I don't particularly like adding random meltabombs or somesuch to units 'cause I forget them.

I've been considering dropping the Scout squad, but they're such a difficult-to-remove pain in so many players sides and they're a great objective holder for 100 points.  I just don't know what to replace them with!

Overall I like the list, it's very solid, performs well in all phases of the game and can really form a quite resilient offensive or defensive force, although it has 3 big flaws:  10 points remaining :D, the fact that I need to acquire two Razorback turrets for my Rhinos (although I think I have one kicking around somewhere), and the fact that I can't use the obscenely pretty top hatches that I painted up for them.

On a slightly unrelatated note, I have a couple more models to paint, but one I do I'll get photos of this army up for people to see.  I've gotten a lot of requests for that.

I've been thinking a lot about the tactics of the game lately, so I hope to write some more tactics articles for the true gamers out there to scoff at in the future.  Also, I'm looking for some Razorback turrets, so if anyone has some...
