So I finally decided on the bulk of my Marine army. for the 1500 point core I went with
1 Pedro
1 5 man scout/telion with Rocket launcher, 3 sniper rifles
10 man Tac with rhino, ML, Melta
10 man stern guard with 6 combi meltas + Drop pod
1 Iron clad + Drop pod + locator beacon
5 Assault Terminators
1 Vindicator
1 Ped Auto cannon + 2 Las cannons
The list performed pretty well, mission was kill points and long table edges, though we mostly deployed corner deployment. Termies were teleporting. I forgot to deploy my scouts.
List performed pretty well, got a little unlucky on some shooting, 6 ap 3 get hot shots 4 1's, and some clutch saves by the DP.
Game was fun and back and forth. I need to get better with the Drop pods and remember once again to deploy my entire army.
Termies did nothing, nor did the tac squad I did not use well
Options to consider, swap out pedro who currently DP with sternguard. Change telion into a land speeder storm for more mobility and protection for the scouts. doing something with the termies.
so I need a pedro model along with 2 drop pods and a few more combi meltas for the Sternguard
