So I wanted to run Pedro being Crimson Fists. I liked the idea of sternguard. They are over priced, but with Pedro's extra attack he grants, I think they could hold their own and special ammo makes them intriguing. This army will function mainly as a gun line but will have Mobile elements in it. Preds and speeders are there for anti tank and the 4 heavy bolter Razors are anti horde. I have a possible 8 scoring units with combat tactics.

The Ironclad is a gamble. My plan is to throw him onto objectives in my enemies deployment zone. I will also use the Speeders to pressure and advancing enemy elements. The Vindi will deploy on one flank and threaten any enemy flankers.

Well thats the list and some of my thinking behind the choices. What do you think?

  2. I have power fists on the tactical squads. I went with lightning claws on the sternguard to make them different and not cookie cutter to the tacitial squads.

  3. I guess I see it more of a unifying element than a cookie cutter issue. Also will help you not be the bitch of high T foes in hth.

    I see the classic picture of Crimson FISTS as red power FISTed sgt's...not red CLAWed sgts unless you are making Crimson CLAWS.

    It won't look cookie cutter anyway if the elites are modelled properly and have all those special weapons.
