2000 Point AT43 UNA Mind List
M.ind in AT43 is a devastating list to run. Not only do you have access to lots of AFVs but they are able to repair each other every turn. A unit of 3 Firetoads for instance can repair 3 damage a turn. The only hope your opponent has is to completely destroy an afv before it has a chance to repair.
This list is tooled for a mission where you will be holding locations to gather victory points. In AT-43 you get to choose your force after picking the mission so part of the strategy is tooling your army to suit the mission appropriately.
M.Ind List
Platoon 1
- Copperhead (+ Colonel G. Stark)
- 2 Fire Toad
- 3 Death Dealer TacArms (Sergeant)
- 12 Star Troopers (Sergeant, 2 Flamer)
- 6 Steel Troopers (+ Sergeant A. Borz, 1 Laser Gun)
Platoon 2
- 1 Lancelot
- 2 Steel Missile Team
- 2 Wing Sniper Team
Ok, this list is just nasty. First off you have the Star troopers with their extra bodies able to sit on an objective. The idea is to back them up with the Death Dealers, making any enemy wary of sending infantry anywhere near that location. Use the star troopers to screen for the death dealers, so they can have a model designate when there are no infantry coming close to you.
If any opponent wants to send their AFVs at your point holding group, the Death Dealers simply lase the target. Within moments you’ll have missiles raining down. The Firetoads are for mobile support they can move where needed to provide some extra anti AFV firepower.
The lone Lancelot is there to ground small threats, hit Bane Goliaths or an enemy’s repair squad to really mess with them. For larger infantry units you’ve got Col Stark there to bring his mortar of fiery death down on anyone that tries to make an assault.
No list is complete without some sort of sniper unit. The wing snipers are there to take out stealthed threats such as Guru Lucius or Atis and to take out sergeants and special weapons.
Keep your AFVs together to take advantage of M.Ind. Smaller groups let you get more frequent repairs which can mean the difference between a dead Firetoad and a slightly crippled one.
Finally you have sgt borz and his small repair squad. These guys move with the armour and provide another laser targeter. This is important since your opponent might try and keep out of line of sight of the death dealers, unlucky for them borz can light up a target from the other side of the map.
Defeating this list involves indirect fire and snipers. you need to force the laser targeting units to make the decision to face sniper fire or lase a target. If you can prevent high priority targets from being lased and keep the missile team from being able to fire while hidden you’ve got a good chance of taking them down. Defeating mind is all about positioning and concentrated fire.
