Glitch85 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hey all, been back playing 40k after about 10 years off for about 3 - 4 months now and i need a little help in which way to advance my forces. At the moment i have the tactical squad, terminator squad and dreadnought from the black reach set, to this I have added a 10 man assault squad, a whirlwind and dante. I am mostly playing against 2 mates who have ork and chaos armies. Up to yet im having relative success against the orks but not having much fun against my mates chaos termies and lord. I am popping into a store today and was thinking Landraider and maybe some sanguinary guard as they can be taken as troops with dante. Any suggestions would be much appreciated as I am still trying to learn different tactitcs etc.. Regards Stu.

shatter Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Buy a vindi or two. It'll help against both armies and be easier to fiddle into lists than a big expensive and specialised item like a LR.

Terrahawk Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Fast Vindies are always a solid choice. In addition I suggest you get at least one Sanguinary Priest (or you can just convert one) and stick it into your Assault Squad with a Jump Pack and a Power Weapon. That 6" bubble of Furious Charge and Feel No Pain will come very handy against Chaos Scum. Not to mention the wonderful WS5 Power Weapon. Since you already have Dante, you can try adding him to the said squad for maximum killiness and even more precise Deep Strike. Remember to pack Melta weapons so you can take full advantage of Dante's Tactical Precision.

Brother Biskit Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I second the vindy. It's horiffic against terminators and ork mobs and good against vehicles. I'd also go for another assault squad with a priest to boost your assault capability and give extra protection against shooting and non PW attacks.

Glitch85 Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 Cheers for the advice, went out and bought a Vindicator and another 5 man assault squad, just need to buy a few bits now to build some sanguinary priests :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213218-army-help/#findComment-2537735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crynn Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 My vote goes to mephiston, the cheapest $ wise to your problem. Will kill termies and their lord before the strike, will total almost anything chaos has and will make the ork players warboss completely useless. Unless someones playing abaddon out of your friends, meph will have a fiel day against both armies if you can find a vehicle for him to hide behindfor 1 turn before he makes combat.
