So, I picked the Angels of Death Codex Supplement at the weekend, and came up with this.
Hunting Force (Angels of Death)
Captain with Bike, Artificer Armour, Shield Eternal & Relic Blade – 205 Points
Bike Squad – Sergeant, 2 Bikers with Grav Guns, 2 Bikers – 135 Points
Bike Squad – Sergeant, 2 Bikers with Grav Guns, 2 Bikers – 135 Points
Bike Squad – Sergeant, 2 Bikers with Grav Guns, 2 Bikers – 135 Points
Scout Bike Squad – Sergeant, 2 Scout Bikers – 54 Points
Attack Bike Squadron – 3 Attack Bikes with Multi Meltas – 150 Points
Attack Bike Squadron – 3 Attack Bikes with Multi Meltas – 150 Points
CAD Detachment – White Scars
Librarian with Bike, Mastery Level 2 – 110 Points
Tactical Squad – Sergeant with Bolt Pistol & Chainsword, 1 Marine with Grav Gun, 1 Marine with Grav Cannon, 7 Marines with Bolters.
Mounted in Rhino – 225 Points
Tactical Squad – Sergeant with Bolt Pistol & Chainsword, 1 Marine with Plasma Gun, 1 Marine with Grav Cannon, 7 Marines with Bolters.
Mounted in Rhino – 235 Points
Sergeant with Bolt Pistol & Chainsword, 1 Marine with Missile Launcher, 8 Marines with Bolters
Mounted in Rhino – 190 Points
Stormtalon Gunship - Stormtalon with Twin-Lascannons – 125 Points
1849 Points
It's exactly the same list, with the CM downgraded to a Captain, Combi Weapons Removed from the Tacs and 3 Scout Bikes Added.
The bonuses of the Hunting Force formation are pretty good. You get to designate a primary, secondary and a tertiary target. The primary has to be a HQ, the others can be whatever. In return you get to re-roll and failed to hit and to wound/penetrate rolls against your current target. You also get to make two hammer of wrath hits provided their are 5 models in the unit.
Plan would depend on the opponent, but the idea would be to target the softer HQ (if there is one) and designate scary things (Knights/Wraithknights/Riptides) that are easily killable as the other targets.
I've still got all the Tacs with ObSec, so combat squadded that's 6 Units.
So a couple of questions for the more experienced players
So, A is this Legal? And could I make the captain
B, will it be effective, or are the majority of people unlikely to field a secondary HQ choice that will be (relatively easy to kill)
C, will it be more effective than the previous list?
