Just the one title, looking for inspiration

In my tank heavy HOTE + Abhuman Auxiliaries list I have everything I need, bullgryn squad + commissar and tanks, what I need is an infiltrator squad and am stuck on which of these options I should pick.

I don’t have any regiment orders except for the commissar but he will order the bullgryns.
The recon squad can take an order once and run with it and if they need any more I can place their token near them so that I can give them anything else + I can give the commissar Exemplar of duty which seems nice.

Ratling squads on the other hand have move shoot move and brings my list to the perfect 2000pts. There are also quite flexible but I’m not sure

What do you think?

I have a HOTE list with spam or squadron units.

What I have been pitched are just a few objective holding units.

Now I already have a recon squad and two scout sentinels with 140 points to play with.

The unit is going to be holding an objective further back, the risk are fast melee units or deep strikers swarming or shooting the unit and taking the objective and halting my tanks pushing forward.

What should I get? Is a cadian or catachan squad good or are they too squishy as are most infantry units. An option is a transport with inf but that is pretty pricey. But maybe a Taurox and catachans are good?

My list with purge the foe primary in mind and made out of inspiration from feedback by other posts and comments

Game plan:

Big tank go wroom wroom boom boom dakka dakka

Small blobs do small blob stuff and speed bumb, Kasrkin or KCE in Taurox, far up and take objective or be annoying (or both)

Tada pray to emperor for win, fun times and lots of booms

Hope it’s a list with fairly good ratio of tanks and small annoying units.

Have the option to swap out the exterminator for a vanquisher buffing less but getting a big gun letting me say it’s vanq time each shooting phase and getting 30 points for enhancements or commissar.

What are your thoughts and opinions?

Btw Tank you for reading everything

So I’ve recently been wanting to make a tank heavy armoured infantry list.

Russ spam or mix between a lot of skirmisher hulls with transports is the way to go but am wondering about the rest of the list, how many transports are enough? 2 chimera 2 Taurox? Or maybe 3 chimera? Or maybe only 2?

And how should the order and character build look? Maybe a single tank commander and a command blob or maybe 2 command blobs without a tank commander?

I’m thinking of having at least one bullgryn squad (because i only have a 6 man squad) so that enough to get the abhuman auxiliary detachment?

Let me know your opinion and feedback!

Basically the title, now that battleline infantry has gone up in points are at least one 10 man Cadian shock troops still as viable on the HOME objective as it was in 10th or are there now other cheaper and BETTER options that is now preferred?

I’ve heard a lot of different opinions on the subject and seen more players use more variants that usually were seen as bad or meh in 10th.

I am asking which variant/s look best and the most promising and which detachments looks best to combine with along with which sponsons.

Side note also why this variant is good in 11th

I am building a list where I want some artillery but am stuck on which of these options are better.

The list is an infantry heavy list with few tanks to support.

The artillery gets the token from the recon squad and are given orders without a command squad or castellan needing to stay behind to give orders. This option in my opinion hits harder and is cheaper but is less mobile

The basilisk is more versatile with tank commanders able to order it as it follows behind, it is more of a chimera chassie with an indirect gun than an indirect gun on a chimera chassie.

What is your opinion?
