Solid.

Only negative comment I can come up with from initial-pass is that you might be vulnerable to giving up some easy points on Assassination with those Lieutenants/Libby/Techmarine. Those are all T4 W4 3+ characters, and most do not have an invul and there's few things for them to use as bodygaurds other than the big Intercessor block due to the 3 model rule.

What secondaries would be your go-to with this?

[LizardTau]

Well the techmaine, libby and lieutenant on foot are going to hang out with the dreads. Since vehicles can block for characters and don't need the 3 model thing.

The libby will also be putting up psychic fortress for a 5+ invul on the dreads and the characters.

I was actually planning on the jump lieutenant going with the attack bikes but I forgot about the 3 models rules. So may make it one unit of 3 attack bikes and anouther single model.

Looks good!

Just remember that Vehicle/Monster Characters with fewer than 10 wounds (ie the Ironclad) are not capable of giving other Characters the benefit of Look Out Sir.

[LizardTau]

For secondaries. I'm thinking oath if I can get the dread ball in the center it will be hard to move. But if there is terrain there I'll not do that.

Engage on all fronts since I have some mobility. Maybe rod as I do have a lot of infantry units. But I'm not sold I haven't played a lot with the new secondaries

[Typhus]

As a concession towards Secondaries, might I recommend swapping out the lone Attack Bike for two units of four Servitors? They add an enormous amount of value as far as Action-based Secondaries are concerned. Super fluffy for Iron Hands as well, dragging along their tech-thralls.

[LizardTau]

True

I only own like one or two. I should get more tho
