Hey guys,

Brand new here. I've been playing around with a few astra militarum and militarum tempestus lists and I really love the idea of an air cavalry themed list. I really like the idea of mechanized infantry as well. I'm kind of conflicted though bc I really like the idea of a starship troopers (movie) themed army too. My buddy plays tyranids and it just seems like it would be perfect. The air cav element fits well here I think. Any ideas for a list at 1850? It doesnt have to be overly competitive but id like to avoid getting steamrolled every game if you know what i mean. I could have the melta vets in the valks and the scion command in the vendetta. The other scions would deep strike. Also the three flyers could technically be the emperors spear formation right? Anyway here is what I have so far:

HQ
2x Lord Commisar 70pts each
-bolter and carapce armor

Troops
4x Veterans 170 each
- 3x plasmas
- grenadiers
- taurox dedicated transport

2x veterans 100 each
- 3x meltas
- krak grenades

Elites
Militarum tempestus platoon 410 points
- Command squad 130 points
- 4x meltas
- 1x plasma pistol
- 3x Tempestus scions 90 pts each
- 2x meltas

Fast Attack
2x valkyrie 250
1x vendetta 170
