DefaultOzUser Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hello everyone.. My Chaos Renegade IG is currently in the works for a Tournament next year, but I'm stuck with a little segment in the army list... That is, I'm allowed to take 1 Squad of Alpha Legion (with the old rules - so Infiltrating!) as an Elite choice... If you had 1 Squad to take, with any choice of Heavy/Special weapons, but no Marks or anything else... What would you do? As for the Army, its got 3 Missile Launchers, 2 Twin-Linked Lascannons, and something like 3 Meltaguns, 1 Plasmagun in it already (for the Infantry guys!) Any advice would be appreciated...

chillin Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I think if you take 1 infiltrating unit of AL and the rest of your army is IG hanging back and shooting, it doesn't matter what you give that 1 squad of AL b/c they are toast , out there by themselves. I would use havocs give them 2 flamers and 2 meltas w champ. Just have them destroy as much as possible b4 getting killed. Actually I would not infiltrate them and keep them close to home to assault the units that try to get into CC with your IG. edit: actually, I don't know anything about using csm's with IG, so take anything I say w a shaker of salt.

Zeller Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Easy. What do you want the squad to do? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150522-advice-on-1-unit/#findComment-1749596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultOzUser Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thats sort of the question I'm wondering with them... I've designed the core of the IG list to deal with most threats - so what it comes down to I guess, is since this unit is Elite, and not Troops (and thus, can't Claim objectives) and could theoretically Contest objectives - What sort of loadout should I have to cause as much Havoc as possible before going down? Squad can be up to 10, can have an Aspiring... Up to 3 Special Weapons and 1 Heavy Weapon... They can infiltrate, but not neccessary... And if they're going to be Toast, they're going to be Toast... Its just the novelty of having a unit of 3+ saves in an IG list that I'm going for... So not having a specific role beyond Abject Havoc - what would you use?

Brother Nihm Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 The prospect of outflanking 10 AL Chosen with Meltas/Plasmas is rather enticing, albeit quite points heavy.

Zeller Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 You said old rules so infiltrating as elites. Chosen are elites and infiltrate. Are you using the 3rd ed. C:CSM or the new one?

Leethal Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Five Plasma/Melta Guns. Outflank. And find THE most juiciest target out there, and go smack it.

C:CSM or the new one? Neither actually - its the Elite Alpha Legion squad from the IA:5 "Siege of Vraks" - Using the Renegades and Heretics IG list... So they infiltrate as per standard, and form an elite squad in what is otherwise an IG list.

Askari Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'd say max them out and give them meltas and flamers and give the champion a fist or put a minimum sized squad with plasma guns and a plasma cannon plus a combi plasma on the champ if he can take it. infiltrate them as close to the most dangerous enemy unit as possible and demolish it beofore being wiped out in return. or keepthem back with the rest of your army and use them as fire support that can counter charge.
