[ps209]

i have a 2000 ba army and have lost 9:2 to my brothers demon army my list is as followed

 

HQ

 

Seth

Honour Guard with flamer. power weapon, lightening claw infernus pistol

 

Land raider crusader + melta gun

 

Elites

 

3 x Sanguinary Priest 2 x jump packs 2 x flamer pistols

 

10 x Sternguard Veterans one combi melta, one combi plasma, power fist

 

Razourback twinlinked lascannon

 

Furosio Dred 2 x blood talons

 

Troops

 

2 x 10 man tac squads with flamer/melta ml/ml and combi melta/power weapon plasma pistol

 

2 x 5 man Assault Squads infernus pistol power weapon melta bombs combat sheild

 

5 x Death company jump packs thunder hammer

 

Heavy Support

 

Vindicatour

 

My plan is to get a normal land raider to put SV in and lose the dread and razour back

 

Deamonets kill me on the assault every time and his two soulgrinders pie plate everything

 

Please help me i think i have tried everything tactics wise with this force, i am going to have to bit the bullet and change my 80% completed army :o

Put everything in reserves. You'll force him to deploy half his stuff in the middle of nowhere and then you can start walking onto the table far away from him to get a lot more shooting on him. If he deploys his soulgrinders badly you could possible zoom on with a razorback 12 inches to get shots at rear armor. your basically stealing his deepstrike ability away from him. You can do the same with your land raider. Drive on 12 inches and PoTMS the melta into the soulgrinder.

in my opinion you have way too much bling in your army.

tone down the shiny bitz and get more bodies on the field.

i like the DC in a transport, because that way you have at least a little control where they go. also makes them cheaper, JPs for them are just too expensive.

1 tac squad and 2 full assault squads should be a good base for the army.

i dont much believe in expensive toys like LRs or dreads that can be taken out with one shot.

I second this. Too many expensive pistols. Go for the cheaper Meltas in Assault squads.

DC with JP's...expensive. I like transports with them too. I like some element of control.

Not so keen on a full 10 man sternguard squad either. I would divert some points to more RAS. I also like to have more vehicles as 2000 points to give cover to assaulting troops.

 

The only thing I may disagree with is the Landraider. At 2000 points you can splurge out for a Landraider treat, though I would drop the MM.

The list below is what you've got, just re-allocated a bit.

Keep Seth's Razorback out of line-of-sight behind the Land-Raider.

 

Your real weakness is the Tac squads - they've got a bucketload of upgrades, but no transports?

flamer/melta ml/ml and combi melta/power weapon plasma pistol

That's 2x 45pts minimum you could use elsewhere. Lose the meltabombs on the DC and you've got enough points for 2x Rhinos?

 

I'll have another look when it's not 3am
