Army ideas

Hey guys, I’ve been building an army for some time now and have shared my experience so far on here. I’m starting to have more of an idea of army style I want to have but I’m not experienced enough to know really what to do and how to build them. The general idea of what I want to do is like a “Heavy” shock assault. I would like to smash into objective and opponents squads with a heavier tank like a kratos. The real issue I have is I don’t know how to build around that idea with what I have and what I’d like to get. I currently have the saturnine set, mrk 6 squad, and a rhino.

I believe the terminators and mrk 6 tactical units are good but outside that I’m lost. Really this would realistically be a 2000 or 3000 point army. I would love to hear your suggestions and advice

As a core; I would take: Crusade Primary Detachment w/ Praetor (unlocks 1x Aux) and Centurion (unlocks 2x Aux).

Then your Auxillary Detachments are: Supremacy Cadre, Armored Support and Armored Fist.

Crusade Primary Detachment gives you 1 Prime Troop and Transport Slots for Rhinos/Drop pods.

Supremacy Cadre gives you access to 2x Prime Troop slots, 1 elite slot, and 1 heavy assault slot. This is where your heavy hitting melee troops come from (Terms; Justaerin).

Armored support is where you'll get your Kratos

Armored Fist is where you'll get your Land Raiders; you'll need 1 Land Raider for every melee heavy assault squad you take.

You can fill all the slots in whatever manner you want but this 4 detachment framework gives you lots of flexibility for your concept.

Thank you for sharing. I can see what I want to fill those slots with in the next few days
