Looking for inputs to possible improvements. Been using this list for a couple games with good success. Group counts Super Heavy Tanks as tanks.

Looks well rounded

 

What is your game plan or were you just posting a list

[Enurta]

Was looking to see other people’s opinions. Never know if something was missed. Coming from playing Mechanicum it’s hard to see if something is a little too WAAC sometimes. Ended up tabling some people before which kinda made me wonder if it was too strong.

Talk to your local gaming group, but Superheavies don't have the (Tank) subtype anymore (they did in 6th iirc, but lost it in 7th and still don't have it in the current ruleset), so your list technically needs more tanks. Easiest solution if people won't accept that a unit with Tank in the title should count as a Tank is to make room for another Sabre (3 units of 1). I'd probably do it by cutting out some plasma marines, as I suspect they're all going to be dead before they do anything anyways since they're such an obvious target.

I'm aware that they don't currently have tank, but we are playing as they do. If someone wants to press the issue I just change the Mortis to a Cortus and split the sabres. Not losing much besides the Helical Targeting Array and BS5 on Mortis and Sabres. Already, have two sources of anti-air.  I do agree that the Plasma support squad is a prime target for destruction, but I do like bringing some plasma in a DA list. They would have to be replaced by another source of scoring as 3 is bare min I would like to bring to a game. Was thinking of dropping a melee Dread, swapping the Mortis to a Cortus and I could fit in a 10man Flamer squad for additional scoring.
