Editing Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Tyrant's Legion(7E) (section)

==Tactics==
Games workshop advocates it in all their codices, and I'm going to repeat it here: Start with an HQ, and two troops.

Remember that one squad of Legion Auxilia is compulsory, but they make excellent meatshields for more important parts of your army.
In 1500+ games you '''must''' take a Centurion too, but he's cheap and you can use him to add some punch to a unit.

* Good troop choices are:
** Cohort with Flamer, Missile Launcher. Cheap (Assault on Black reach set) versatile, convert Sergeant to have a power weapon/fist for bonus points.
** Cohort. Melta gun. Plasma. Rhino. You'll be eating almost any armor and punching holes trough TEQs with ease.
** Auxilia Armsmen Cadre on a Chimera. Ride this guys behind the plasma-melta squad just mentioned, help them clean an objective then sit there while the Marines move on.
* Nice Elites could be:
** A big, scary unit of Retaliators with flamer to turn blobguardsmen into meat confetti, though your heavy support should be doing this.
** A not-so-big, but twice as scary unit of Retaliators with a lascutter, on a Rhino. Send them against any tank and they'll eat it for breakfast.
** Renegade Marauders with Stalkers could camp on your objective. Take Murderer Cultists if you want someone running at the enemy's exposed flank, otherwise Hereteks will make them way more survivable.
* Good heavy supports are:
** Auxilia Battle Tank Squadron, with 3 standard Leman Russes. Do I need to tell you how to use them? All right. Point at something you don't like on the board. Shoot. Remove the annoying scraps. Repeat.
** A Maelstrom Fleet Detachment. I don't really know what to suggest you here, but I'd say 1-2 Thunderbolts are a good idea.
** Remember: you can take one heavy support from C:SM for every Space Marine Cohort you have. If you don't want to buy Forgeworld models, you can always use Vindicators.
