Elite Armies

Recommended Posts

While tinkering around with the rumoured/leaked Dex, fleshing out what to use and what the army will actually look like (and trying to decide whether I really want to spam Purifiers or not!), I thought I'd have a look to see if I really could make an ultra Elite GK list. -_-

 

And I was pleasantly surprised to be able to cobble something together just a smidge over 1,750 points! :)

 

HQ: Draigo

HQ: Brotherhood Champion

Troop: Paladin x4, Psycannon x2, Apothecary

Troop: Paladin x4, Psycannon x2, Apothecary

Fast: Stormraven Gunship, TL MM, Warp Sabilisation, Truesilver

Fast: Stormraven Gunship, TL MM, Warp Sabilisation, Truesilver

Heavy: Nemesis DreadKnight, G Psilencer, H Psycannon

 

Total: 1,800

 

Can skimp on a few upgrades to reach 1,750, or if you play at 2,000 add a few more in. :( Like Warding Staves for the Apothecaries (to let them use Holocaust, as they have no Ranged Weapon), or the like.

 

This has a double-hard Ranged based Scoring MC for home objectives, and two rock hard scoring units for bringing the pain to your opponent. The SR are to get them there, and to pop any Raiders. Hopefully the NDK and Psycannons will take care of anything smaller.

 

How's that for Elite? 12 Terminators, 2 Skimmers and a MC! :cuss

 

Elite armies, how would you do yours?

Looking at that actually hurt.

 

My main issue with lists like this is lack of target saturation; where we went from being outnumbered 2:1 (usually), now you're looking more like 5:1. Doesn't even matter what the other person's tactics are, you NEED to get up close and personal with the enemy as fast as possible or risk behing shot to death. The problem with that is, typically, when trying to ram home troops to get face to face with someone you need along the lines of 3:1 in your favour to ensure you've got the punch to finish the job once you get there.

 

That aside, if this actually worked..I could see several people with jaw's dropped, or simply picking their models up off the table in pure consternation. In the case of the latter, I'd have the biggest :):-eating grin on my face because finally, YOU are subject to MY cheese, not the other way around.
