Ok i'm torn I known the double special characters list is flawed but I do enjoy it so, the alternative more frugal list is more reliable and I feel has more killing power so help me decide:

3 Vindicators
3 Razorbacks with Assualt Cannons
3 5 Man Tac Squads
Tigerius
Shrike
1 Assault Squad + Thunderhammer

1500pts

or

3 Vindicators + Extra Armour
3 Razorbacks with Assault Cannons
3 5 Man Tac Squads + Power Fist
Epistolary Might of Ancients, Avenger
Chaplain + Jump Pack + Power Fist + Digital weapons
1 Assault Squad + Power Fist + 2 Flamers

1500pts

Ill miss all the special tricks (Filthy first turn Shrike Alpha Strike, Re-rolling reserves, ALL Psyker powers) but I could always take the first list above and fix it for a larger point game!

Any and all thoughts very very welcome.

Personally, I like the second list better. The assault squad is more versatile and the vindicators more survivable.

That said, the list you use should depend upon your motivation. In a more competitive setting, use the second list. Use the first list in fun games because you like it so much.

I'm thinking that the second list sits as my standard all comers list and the double Shrike/Tigerius list needs more thought and points to really take advantage of their special abilities.

I play with the units that I like the idea of and then try and make them into a list that is a competitive and fun as possible. Not liking units is why i've just got rid of ten thunder hammer terminators.....I know they are game winners but I don't like how they look and they didn't capture my imagination.

I'd certainly like advice on what powers the Epistolary should have in the second list!

cheers
