So what is the plan? Well there are basically 5 elements to the list, static defense, armoured thrust, centre group, knight and deep strike. It probably doesn't take a genius to work out which part includes which bits of the list but I'll go through it briefly.
The static defense part of the list is formed by the platoon command squad with heavy weapon, joined to the infantry squad and one of the psykers, all supported by the mortars. This blob will sit on my home objective and secure it, while throwing out some shots here and there.
The armoured thrust will be mounted by the two leman Russ tanks, the commander and exterminator, supported by the Tech-priest and the Cadians. The Cadians are there to act as screens and keep the tanks out of combat, while the tanks hit what they can before dieing.
The centre group is formed of the DKoK, second command squad and psyker. This group will be used to.move up.in to the centre of the board and take ground. It may or may not be the actual centre of the board, possibly one flank or the other but they will be used to move up, relying on their resilience to hold objectives.
The Knight group contains, to no one's surprise, the knight. However, it will also likely contain the Rough Riders, to add some additional support and punch. The rough riders might also go with the armoured group, that will probably be decided on a game by games basis, but at the moment they are slated to go with the knight.
Lastly we have the deep strike group. This contains all the Tempestus units, mostly they will be two groups, a command squad and Scion squad together dropping in at the back to cause problems but also for taking objectives and scoring points.
So that's the plan, not the simplest of plans but not complicated either. I suspect that things will not go nearly as smoothly as I describe, especially on the World Eaters games, where just castling up at the back and surviving might be the order of the day!
The only issue with this list that I might have changed was the weapons on the Knight. Even with two combat weapons he can still only use one at a time and so I probably should have fitted the fist with a ranged weapon, probably the battle cannon, for some additional ranged shots but it's to late to change it now.
I'm aiming hight again this time round and just plan on not coming bottom of the pile! I would also like to win one game and not be tabled in any of the others but we shall see what happens.
