Marshal Wilhelm Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 If you were an Imperial commander in 30K, what duos or trios would you put the Legions in to undo their foes and why? For example, something Horus did was Death Guard as an anchor and either the Luna Wolves or Night Lords working off that position. Your choices?

Caducus morbidus Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Blood Angels, Space Wolves and World Eaters. Just to see the look on my opponent`s face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legatus Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Horus usually teamed up two Legions that specialised in the same field, so that they would motivated to try to outdo each other. A different approach would be to team up two Legions with drastically different approaches so that they would complement each other, but it depends on what the specific task is. Seinding the Imperial Fists and the Word Bearers when you want a world taken quickly would probably not be the best approach. I would say a trio consisting of either the Ultramarines, Luna Wolves or Emperor's Children as a balanced Legion, the Space Wolves or White Scars as an assault Legion and the Imperial Fists or Salamanders as a defensive Legion might be a well performing overall combination. One Legion specifically for strikes, one for defensive actions, and one to oversee the joint efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissah Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Sons of Horus, Emperor's Children and the Death Guard would be the best trio if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Mournival Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Stealh/Terror group: Raven Guard, Alpha Legion, Night Lords. Siege Group: Iron Warriors, Imperial Fists, BA or SW or LW or WE or DG, and the Alpha Legion. Prissie Group: Emperors Children, Thousand Sons :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Lodbrok Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Blood Angels, Space Wolves and World Eaters. Just to see the look on my opponent`s face. Pretty much this except add in the Night Lords for some extra blood-thirsty behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubermensch Commander Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Mix of Legions with different modus operendai Anvil/Hammer mix so: Death Guard/Night Lords Ultramarines/ White Scars Iron Warriors/Raven Guard etc etc Obviously all the Legions were capable of fighting in all arenas of combat (siege, hit and run, long range, close up, etc) but going with Legions renowned for certain kinds of fighting works. For the tactically versatile legions, mix and match to hearts content. Everything dies in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damael Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The Lion's Dark Angels for their masterful tactics working in concert with the Raven Guard's precision strikes and the Space Wolves as the unstoppable sledgehammer! Awesome. With the DA anchoring and directing the assault, the RG crippling the enemy's supplies tearing out the heart whilst the SW are the killing blow straight up the centre. The Deathwing and Ravenwing would be a valuable supplement to either the RG or the SW. Either that or Death Guard, White Scars and Luna Wolves.

Sons of Horus Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 can't you just send all the legions? :P I wonder how the enemy would react at the sight of 18 legions of Astarted and 18 Primarchs :blink: more seriously though I'd say Night Lords, Raven Guard, White Scars, Alpha Legion. surgical strikes from every side and even inside ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sandbot Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm with Raven Guard, Night Lords, and Thousand Sons. Reason being your making your opponent piss themselves in 3 different ways. One through attacking at any time in any spot, another through just plain scare tactics and the last through otherworldly powers that can summon scary apparitions or turn your soldiers into piles of bone, or against one another. Duo wise, Ravens and Alpha Legion. They're both so stealthy its amazing. You'd lose the war before you even knew you were fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innus Bade 9 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm going with Iron Warriors, Death Guard, and Night Lords. The Iron Warriors would begin and support the siege, Death Guard to compose the main force driving the foe into hiding, while the Night Lords began a decisive and deadly attack from everywhere else.

c-wrex Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Space Wolves for frontal assault, Salamanders for flanking, and Alpha Legion for internal chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 To take a world I wanted to integrate, my ideal combination would be: 1. Iron Warriors or Imperial Fists to take the major strongholds and act as an 'anvil' to crush any opposing force sent to attack them 2. The Alpha Legion to disrupt the enemy's war effort and bring them down into chaos, thus stopping them from bringing overwhelming force to break the 'anvil' legion or close down the White Scars. 3. White Scars to compliment the other two by mounting fast attacks of oppertunity on targets left vulnerable by the Alphas. These guys could hit supply convoys, reinforcements and isolated/weak locations. 4. Blood Angels/Space Wolves Once the other three have broken the back of the resistance, this legion would make a devastating final attack from orbit supported by the other elements to bring the enemy into submission On the other hand, if I wanted to destroy a world utterly I'd just unleash the Night Lords, Alphas, World Eaters and later-stage Word Bearers and fiddle whilst it burned. If I was to pick the forces I wanted to defend my fortress I'd take the Fists, Iron Warriors, Space Wolves and Emperor's Children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulse Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 This would be my perfect mix. ;) Imperial Fists - To bring down any fortifications and stop dead any counter attacks from an enemy. Luna Wolves - Overall the best Legion during the Great Crusade. Would be used for devestating surgical strikes and overall command. Blood Angels - To break the enemy utterly, when combined with the Luna Wolves, plus Sanguinius keeps Horus grounded. One Legion specifically for strikes, one for defensive actions, and one to oversee the joint efforts. Exactly. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purge The Weak Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Just use the world eaters. No matter what they are up agaisnt they would eventually win.
