Afterwards, its simply a hail of fire (mostly autocannons) to bring down whatever is left, while the ordinance battery of basilisk picks out clusters of stranded units and does what basilisks do best, drop death down from above, leaving only craters of rubble and broken bodies. The list does all this while being amazingly resilient. 23 pieces of armor, all armor 12. Gives great field coverage, excellent for objective grabbing, and is rediculasly hard to break apart.
The one thing that alot of alpha strike armies fail at, is still being around after their strike. Example, the latest trend of manticores. A single tank with that much firepower, gets hit once, its done that round or destroyed. Heavy marine alpha strikes with typhoons etc, dont have the staying power that his list does. This list will still be around turn after turn and I would be amazed that even a beginning player could get tabled with this list.
I have all the models for this list. I could field more pieces of armor, and I may post a list with more armor in it at a later date (I have some).
