So, using the Cavalry battalion organization chart in the current U.S. Army Heavy Brigade as a template, the organization would like something like this: 1. One Armored Cavalry Company, using the organization chart for the Mechanized Infantry Company with salamanders substituting for Chimeras. - 6 Salamander Scouts with 1 Salamander Command as  the Headquarter. 2. One Tank Platoon. - 3 Conquerors 3. One Griffon Platoon. - 3 Griffons 4. Sentinel Platoon. - 4 Sentinels 5. One Vulture Squadron -4 Vultures 6. One Mechanized Infantry Platoon with Three Chimeras. _________________ berman mo

I marked Demolisher & Thunderer as RARE in my copy, Tank company of 10 Thunderers for 400pts + upcrades was nice... Hey E&C, I think that Hydra pattery is too small with 3 Hydras, 1 good hit and its Broken! Allow Hydra upgrades?!

And allowing them in 5 strong will lead to the same results as Ork flakwagon rush, but with much worse impact, because hydras are plain better. _________________ Attrition is the proof of absence of Strategy

I like T-bolts, they can get a "stand down" action, for just 150 with a small chance of really loosing the activation. I?ve never tried Salamanders, but they need one of your precious support slots. You have few companies to fill you slots. (for example my list hosts two companies (for about 1400 pts) , granting me 4 support slots. To get a decent activation count you HAVE to use eighter Warhounds or T-bolts, because they do not need slots. LR Companies are not to build under 700 pts.  SHT are damn slow, but cheaper..... _________________ Attrition is the proof of absence of Strategy

Hope not so No models, no list entry. If it would be other way round we would get Executioners with side sponsions _________________ Attrition is the proof of absence of Strategy
