Thanks for the offer Legion, I live in Hull, Uk. I've got enough Space Marine Sergeants kicking round to keep me happy for the moment, was more just commenting in general that I thought they should be in the box. I might possibly be interested in aquiring some Imperial Guard Officers, Primaris Psykers and Com-Link guys though (is there anything else on the old sprues that gotted missed off on the new ones, not totally sure as never bought any epic40k ones), do you have any of those you don't want?...

The rough riders, heavy weapons and plastic catachans were missed off, although the hws and rough riders have been redone in metal for EpicA...

Sorry G ... but with 6 IG Rgts (including SM1, SM2 & E40K sprues) , I've used all those guys. I just have a number of SM SGTs & (caped) Cdrs left, and I have 6 SM Rgts & 5 Traitor Bns, so I still used a bunch of SM Leaders !

Hi!
Did the elimination of the archive also hinder getting sprues?
I'd ask anyway, you never know....

Hello all.
This 3k list was successful in beating a well played IG army on the weekend.
2 Tac + 1 hunter for each.
1 Dev.
1 Assault.
1 Terminator.
1 Landraider.
1 Whirlwind.
1 Mixed Predator.
2 Warhounds
Total of 9 activations with no characters and no garrison troops.
I decided to forgo the usual T.hawk assault and was glad I did because my IG opponent had taken 5 AA tanks (Hydras?). He really hates my air assaults =).
The Warhounds actually survived the battle (just barely) by staying out of the Shadow Swords and other big guns sights. They were a big factor in dominating one side of the table and breaking a couple of large formations. The only unit in the IG army left unbroken in the third turn was the Heavily upgraded SHT formation. The truth is I didnt even try to take that monster out and spent most of the game avoiding it.
What do you all think?

I have to agree here. The Razorbacks can be quite nice and the added firepower can help against many of the armies.

Thanks for the reply.
I have some Razorbacks on order but they did not arrive in time for this battle.
The only thing with regards to switching up the Razorbacks for the formation of Preds is the loss of an activation.
In that game I had three activations left after the IG player was finished. Those extra activations allowed me to coordinate some really nasty crossfire attacks that finally nailed those damn Leman Russ.
With the combination of those extra activations at the end of the turn, plus being able to go first the following turn, I was able to handle some of his large mechanized units.
Anyway that was like my second game played.....sooo I am always open to suggestions on how to better my army.

Good point about extra activations. You have a good combined arms force but the SMs lack the FA assets, and that is one of their weaknesses. I would have been tempted to take out his Shadowswords with my Warhounds or vise versa ! I like killing big things !
