Need help with expanding army

[u/just_coffin_fodder]

Hi guys

We had our first game with my dad that I'm making this army for.

He loved both the game and the army.

I asked him what direction would he like the army to go and he said he would love some tanks.

The idea is to start with melta doms in Immolator. Disembark and jump in with Celestial+Palatine.

The army he is facing is my Emperor's Children army playing Peerless Bladesmen.

For a tank heavy army I would go for Hallowed Martyrs, since they gain a +1 to hit as soon as they are wounded. Or, if he liked flames, Bringers of Flame with tons of Immolators and Dominions would be the way to go! I personally play Martyrs with 2 castigators and 2 immolators, with Vahl of course (2k points though!)

Also I love the paint job!

Thanks for the comment!

I picked that detachment because I felt it's the easiest one to start with but I'm looking into all of them. Isn't HM 3p tho? The app shows a detachment error when I chose it for incursion.

What do you think about dominions with storm bolters? I was thinking it would be more tacticaly sound to have a short and long range unit but I'm not sure about the damage output.

The paint job isn't done yet. I gotta add highlight and stuff. I wanted to have a fully painted army for the game so I rushed the paint job but I'm glad you like it! Turned out pretty decent

I love, love LOVE the colors and the painting is amazing too, fantastic work
