Variations on a Theme - 1500pts IG Tourny Lists

Okay, as the time draws near for my usual trip upto Nottingham I've been having some thoughts on my list - driven mostly it has to be said by what I can get painted in time now!

Don't bother with las/plas, the way vehicles and cover work nerfed them pretty hard. Autocannons are cheaper and more flexible.

Vendettas are more for staying back and firing away, while Valks are more in your face.

A solo HWS is suicide, you need more for them to be any use.

HB sponsons suck for the points you pay, hull HF wins every time.
