lunchb0x Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Stop laughing at the name of the league...its a fun structure...though horrid name for a league! :D 1.5k each member, so 3k total for the game. Tonight we play against an Ork horde army, no trucks...all foot sloggers, along with ghazkul and probly the ork version of wolf scouts...along with a chaos army that usually runs two dreads, and a defiler, along with 1 unit of berzerkers, and plague marines and Abadon with a 4 or 5 man termy squad. My partner uses a night lords list, and is very very much so a hth army, even more so then space wolves. His lord is on a bike, with deamon weapon or something. He runs full man squads, tooled up for hth, and jump troops. The plan is for my partner to take care of choas, and me the orks, as well as the chaos dreads and defiler. My plan is to take either a wolf lord, or a Rune Priest, and I there is no way I am NOT taking a Venerable. Rune priest seems appealing due to the psyker power...I never really looked into it before. To me psykers started sucking after 2nd... a 10 man Grey hunter squad + Wguard Leader with usual fun stuff and a power fist. Bolters melt nades power weapons plasma pistols a 6 man Grey hunter squad + Wguard Leader with usual fun stuff and a power fist. bolters melta nades power weapons 2 standard dreads to work in unison with the Ven. in taking out the chaos dreads/defiler as well as any potential trucks. a Wguard body guard , 5 man bolter/plasma combos along with heavy bolters a rhino My main goal is to have the bolter squads whittle away the orks, and the dread to knock out the defiler/dreads with multi meltas, 3 of them coming at you, 1 or 2 will pen and destroy it. After the goal of destroying the big guys is done, turn the dreads and charge ork units. Mind you I am trying to go mainly anti-ork...so I want lots of bolter shots...and the reason I dont have any blood claws in the list...is I literally dont have any blood claw models. Ive been waiting a month to get them in from local store and still nothing. I am not 100% sure what my partner will take, I just have to go off of what I normally play against when we fight. I am highly debating about swapping out the meltas for some flamers, but I like to keep them as a just incase the dreads fail in their objectives. Thoughts?

LPetersson Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Personally I would suggest flamers. They're lovely against tightly packed units. And if you give your WGPLs a combi-flamer you'll have two templates to smack down on your nearest enemy. Not a bad way to take out a good few models in one hit IMO. If you have the model/points a landspeeder or three with HB and/or HF is a nice way of thinning the herd... I would ditch the RP and instead take a WGBL for the extra heavy bolter, or a Wolf Lord and give him + the WGBGs without HBs combi-flamers. Nothing says ' Y Halo Thar' like a bunch of templates on a horde army's biggest unit -_- I know, I know, I'm so obsessed by fire you'd think I was playing SoBs :) Put a full army list with points up in the army list section :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160689-league-game-tonight/#findComment-1885464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunchb0x Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Im thinking along the same lines...except I love heavy bolters. And boltguns. Dont ask me why but I do. Imagine this added to my list : 3 full squads of long fangs...all with heavy bolters, and the leaders with plasma guns...thats only 550 pnts!!! and thats 36 s5 shots per turn, plus 3 (6 rapid ) s7 shots per turn. Holy crap I have a new goal...and then mount them in Razor Backs with heavy bolters....thats a further 9 s5 shots per turn!!! OMGWOLFSPAZMDROOLINGAWESOMEHEAVYBOLTERSHOTS!!! A tall , battle scared long fang stepped out the back of a razorback, and starts talking to a blood claw eager to get get battle." see that pile of pink and green stuff over there lad?" The blood claw looks over in the distance and sees what looks like the remains of something that was at one time a living breathing thing, but unrecognizable at this time. "Aye do." The old long fang lets out a loud laugh, " I bet ya' do lad, that used to be a 1000 green skins I tell ya'," , he pats his heavy bolter lovingly, "...but us Long fangs, we know how to deal with 'em!" Is if by command, all the long fangs in the area holder their heavy bolters on high and let loose a primal howl. F**k I love heavy bolters.

LPetersson Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 F**k I love heavy bolters. So do I. It's worth bearing in mind here that 540points will get you 18 heavy bolters if you have 9 Landspeeders to put them on... And with better maneuvrability...

True, but they are not nearly as awesome as LONG FANGS!!!!!! -_- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160689-league-game-tonight/#findComment-1885582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Id say one unit of Long Fangs with 4 missile launchers.... it runs under 190pts and gives good fire support. For your other heavies Id suggest a whirlwind and a dakkapredator. Lots of Grey Hunters, lots of bolters, some power weapons.... and one large unit of bloodclaws with powerfists as a good countercharge unit. As for HQ's, vendread and WGBL w/ TDA all the way.
