Platoon Command Squad

Platoon

-30 man blob

-3 plasma

-3 las cannon

3 Special Weapon Squads

-3 demo charge

20 Conscripts

Heavy

Wyvern

So the idea is that the lord, priest, and Yarrick sit in the blob and glare at people. The wolves come down in the pods and do wolf things.

The secret sauce is I want to put the special weapon squads in the three extra drop pods and dump 9 demo charges first turn. I think this is enough to give knights the business.

I am worried that at 1850 I do not have enough stuff, and some highly mobile armies like Serpent spam could hurt.

Also a rules question, the Wolf Priest gives himself and any space wolves preferred enemy, since he is an IC with preferred enemy will he give it to the blob?

Thanks kids.
