Bradskey Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I love troops coz I like lots of models Would anyone think it would be a good idea to have maybe 4 packs of Grey hunters or two GH and 2 BC packs or any other combination? I know about the will-get-killed-by-tanks-and-will-have-no-anti-weapon-guns problem but that could be solved (to an extent) by giving the grey hunters meltaguns/plasma pistols/powerfists. So does anyone else think this sounds good or the direct opposite? Thanks in advance :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154638-4-troop-choices-in-a-1000-point-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAVAAR Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 for anti tank a way I field stuff is 6 GH with PG or MG in a razorback with either TL Lasconnon or Lasconnon and TL PG. this give you some cheap anti-armor and transportability for a mere 75 pts. And as they will still count as holding or contesting within 3" you can keep the GH inside nice and comfy till they have to disembark, or you choose to, which adds some good tactical flexibility to your army. Two of these and two BCx10 with PFx2 will give you a nice hitting army with a good amount of troop for those objective games. (works well against plague marines too with the plasma).

TAVAAR Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 sorry, I forgot to say that for cheap you can get some OBEL scouts with MG and MB's for anti-tank as alot of people will want to use all the tanks weapons and its range for a few turns which means they're easier for scouts to kill (and very cheaply at that). Also a couple of landspeeders for 60 pts (replace HB with MM) are an annoying flank threat that is also highly mobile.

Venter_Of_Russ Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 If you want to use a vendread for tank hunting, don't give him the TLLC... give him the multimelta and put him in a drop pod.

Lord Howland Greywolf Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 @Bradskey if you like that then see if you can find my "More power armour than god" 1,500pts list. 75 blood claws 5 with power fist's, 8 grey hunters with BB, CCW. WGBL with PF bolt pistol and WTN and Ragnar Blackmane. Put that on the table and watch there faces sink the more marines you put on the table. I did B) . And with my army builder guide, try to aim for 1 scoring choice per 500pts if thats possible. So yeah 4 is not going OTT.

Just by going off what you posted here (not sure what BB are so I just left the 8 GH's with their bp/ccw) I have a total of 1517 points... so if I may suggest... taking out 1 grey hunter and you're fine. As for how effective this list is?... not at all... you've got no potential for long range AT, and any list with vehicles will eat you up. Especially fast vehicle lists.

Lord Howland Greywolf Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Oop's, it was supposed to be BP, and it has been a while since I used that list. And yeah your right it isnt very effective, but I made it for a laugh and then tried it against orks. I actually outnumbered him by five models! Mmmm all those Nobs. not much help when that meny attacks hit.
