Yeah it was a proper gunfight! Just need to decide on either stormravens or bikertroops!

If you wanted, you could go down a similar route as my opponent game3,

his deathstar was:
Ovesa,
Torchstar (Ignore cover)
basic Tau Commander with hit and run and some Str8 ap2 combat weapons.
Farsight (no scatter deep strike)
Inquisitor psyker lvl1 (prescience),
Severin Loth (get to pick 3 powers from one tree either, Biomancy, Telekinesis or Telepathy so guarantees Gate) and can expand 1 warp charge to boost his Inv save to a 2+
2 Missile and 2 Marker Drones
3 Devestator Centurions with Grav Guns and Hurricane Bolters

Was quite devastating, even when charging, everything goes on Ovesa who has 2+/3++ (when nova charged) and Farsight who is 2+/4+ then can auto look out sir to Loth 2++ or Dev Centurions... I hit it with 60 attacks and only killed Ovesa..

rest of his army was pretty weak.. 2 Skyrays, Riptide and 2x Battlesuit units and some scouts..

On topic...

I like the idea of bikes with grav guns, combi-gravs and bikesander

Farsight who is 2+/4+ then

I wish, Farsight is 3+/4++

Edit - Also the look out sir needs to be rolled for still, you only get the auto look out sir on models with the sworn protector special rule that is on you your bodyguard squad which is why i didn't roll with old bomb but do with the new.

Ive read the new rules pack and forgeworld space marine chapter tactics are banned so no red scorpions

Was that the severin loth character? I fired everything into that unit and only killed o'vesa and two centurions...but it was the fact he could gate it around with no scatter that meant it was so scary to face.

I think so yeah. Hes not in the regular codex anyway! Dont think wel be seeing that list at caledonian! 1 less thing to worry about lol

[Embolden]

Could still do it with Tigiurius he has a 80% something chance of getting the 1 power you want... if gate is the only power... it's worth a shot.

I've got the models to do a Farsight bomb and am seriously considering it... (just need some weapons from ebay)
