Ruthven Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Looks pretty similar to the lists I run at that point level. I usually do pretty well with it, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valistan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I wish your of good luck in tournament! :) -Furioso Dread---Frag Cannon, HF Footslogging Furiozo!!!? :huh: Probably you have forgotten to add a Drop Pod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Sky Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Good luck, make our chapter proud! listwise, I like it, but I would probably try to cut out 100 points somewhere to add an extra priest and a drop pod for the furioso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Blood Donator Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'd swap the chappie for Lemartes and do a little cut somewhere else. Or.. how does the d.c get around? Lemartes is a marvel, first he take a plasma shot, then he charges in with 7 attacks @ 7I and str 6. Bam. With re-rolls on both to hit and to wound.

Grizzly Adams Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Oh yeah, Furioso has a drop pod, let me fix that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Adams Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 how does the d.c get around? via stormraven. Yeah lemmywinks is a beast, just kind of a pricey addition to an already killy squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Blood Donator Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Ah, I see. Well... he does actually fit into a stormraven with 10 dc. There's nothing that says you can't mix. And there is the fact that he has fnp and f.c, and cannot be targeted individually. I'd try to squeeze him in, at the expense of maybe a company member and some fist somewhere.

Grand-Redemptor Ezkallon Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I was under the impression that you could only have one unit of DC unless you took astorath, though I am uncertain if that includes dreads... I just assumed it did. Just throwing that out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Lucius Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Nope Normally Death Company are a 0-1 choice unless you have Astaroth and he removes that. In the DC dread's entry all it sayss is you can have 1 dread per 5 DC members. So you can have 25 DC and then have 5 DC Dreads for your troops slot if you wanted. @ Grizzly, looks like a pretty good and balanced list! Is this meant to be an ard boyz warm up tourney or just an actual tourney? Good luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand-Redemptor Ezkallon Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 oh, good to know! and it looks pretty good then... though I'd find room for the drop pod and Lemartes as well, but that's just me... and $140 in prizes, that's pretty good! good luck to you mate!

MithrilForge Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 great looking list(scribbles some random stuff down :) ) as to the lemmy dilema he would have to equip all his DC with jump packs if he took lemmy...that would punch their price through the roof...keep the Stormraven :wub: good luck ! mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valistan Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 How the list has proved to be? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Adams Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well, to update all, I have a new battle cry. It goes, "don't be an idiot". First game, i came up against a good Shooty SM player, killpoints pitched battle. My dice failed me, big time and i got wiped on turn 7. Game two was against 6 squads of plague marines, spearhead, 4 objs. I thought i had it lost on turn 4, and so i started playing to get battle points. Once my brain shut down from trying to win, i didnt see my opportunity to win the game on turn 5 by usin baals to contest his obj's. Talk about feelin like an idiot when looking at the table after the game. Game 3 was against razorspam Wolves. With my new mantra of dont be an idiot, i played like the list is capable, used my noodle, and won Capture and control with 2 obj's. I had a great time, and it just goes to show that even 13 year vets can make n00b mistakes, best thing is to learn from them and keep on truckin.

Hah been there done that. :lol: ...congrats on the last game dude. I had to start writing notes on my army-list... on the top - remember Red Thirst, Scout Moves, Dante's curse. Remember to use Fear of Darkness within 24", remember to use Shield of Sang when they start shooting. Use Corbulo's reroll early in the game, etc etc... of course that doesn't help me from forgetting stuff life contesting objectives etc, but it helps overall. I usually have trouble against shooty SM as well; the first few turns are pretty one sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt help that my stormraven went down with a 4+ cover to a missile launcher, lost 5 assault marines to 7 bolter shots, charged a tac squad with a fisty sarge, 9 RAS, Sanguinary Priest w/ PW, and the sanguinor within 6" giving them an extra attack a piece and didnt kill a singl one. Yeah, it was one of THOSE games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinarian Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 great looking list(scribbles some random stuff down :ph34r: )as to the lemmy dilema he would have to equip all his DC with jump packs if he took lemmy...that would punch their price through the roof...keep the Stormraven :wub: good luck ! mithril Taking Lemartes does not mandate the rest of his squad must also be equipped with JPs. It just means that Lemartes would have to walk and run along with his squadmates. And as far as loading them in a Stormraven, Lemartes w/JP takes 2 slots and the 10 footsloggers makes 1 unit of 12 slots. ;) Well, to update all, I have a new battle cry.

I have a similar mantra, but it sounds like something a drunken sailor with terrets would say to his own reflection in the mirror!!! :P I have learned to visualize ALL objective markers as "FREE PARKING" zones. If the enemy wants that objective they have to crater my vehicles to get it!!! :huh: Oh well, as long as you beat the Pups you have nothing to be ashamed of. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabgoi Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Sorry to hear about your first two battles. Some days the dice just screw you, nothing you can do. And everyone has a ohh crap what didn't I see that tide changing moment when it was there. At least you pulled out the third battle, always good to go out on a high note.
