Howdy all,

I'm normally an avid Warhammer Fantasy Battle player but I decided to try my hand at 40K. Here's my 1.5K experiment list. I don't have many models so far (2x Battlesuits, 1x Broadside, 10 fire warriors, 12 Kroot, 6 gund drones) but here is what I'm aiming for. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated:

HQ
Commander Shaso, Cyclonic Ion blaster, missile pod, shield generator, feel no pain = 132
Ethereal,
Honour gaurd x 12 + team leader = 204

Elite
Batllesuit, twin linked fusion blaster, targeting array = 53
Battlesuit, twin linked missile pod, targeting array = 53

Toops
10 x Fire warriors, team leader, bonded = 120
10 x Fire warriors, team leader, bonded = 120
10 x Fire warriors, team leader, bonded = 120
12 x Kroot = 84
12 x Kroot = 84
12 x Kroot = 84

Fast attack
4 x Drones = 48
4 x Drones = 48

Heavy support
Broadside, team leader, hw drone controller, 2 x Shield drones, targeting array = 115
Broadside, team leader, hw drone controller, 2 x Shield drones, targeting array = 115
Broadside, team leader, hw drone controller, 2 x Shield drones, targeting array = 115

Total = 1493 pts

Actually I like it, It's nice and flexible and should stand well against a diversity of enemy...probably will have an easier time with GEQ though.

There would be 2 suggestion that I would like to do.
1) Think about investing in kroot hound (at least 6 per sqaud), it does give them a bit more punch when they get assaulted.

2) Personally I love ethereal and Honour guard, but it is a risky gamble, if he gets killed (and face it he's target #1) you risk losing, your 3 fire warrior squad.

Aside from that, it's a pretty nice 1st list.
