greatcrusade08 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 so ive signed up to a doubles event in november (or will as soon as the tickets come up for sale) and im going to run my scout sisters army. i know its not board appropriate to discuss my non-PA allies, but it may decide what tweeks need to be made to my own list. (that being said if mods want to edit, then please do so) Lord commissar pf 85 vet squad 3 x flamer chimera 140 vet squad 3 x g launcher chimera 140 vendetta 130 vendetta 130 leman russ h/bolter sponsons 170 leman russ h/bolter sponsons, las cannon 170 980 so i was thinking of taking the following: Celestine 10 seraphim, 2x2 hand flamer, eviscerator 2 x 10 SoB, dual meltagun, rhino 2 x 10 retributors, 4 HB 995 any advice from my fellow board members, does my list need tweeking?. ive never been to a tournament with anything other than my SM scouts, and i always knew i wasnt going to win (just doing the best i could) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261613-tournament-advice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I don't like that Guard list, but your Sisters look fine, lol. You've got all the weapons you need, the only alteration I'd make is to slap some melta bombs on a Sister Superior using those last 5 points (assuming it's a 1k/player tournament). Just don't get trapped into thinking Seraphim are an assaulty unit these days.

greatcrusade08 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Just don't get trapped into thinking Seraphim are an assaulty unit these days. figured id flame, charge, hold, then hit and run... rinse repeat. celestine should be able to hold her own in challenges for the most part. do you guys think my counts as SoB army will be acceptable for a tourney, i should probably contact them right?

*Furyou Miko Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yeah, you should always ask ahead of time for things like that. It's the one disguised as a Scouts army, right? :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261613-tournament-advice/#findComment-3184065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the one disguised as a Scouts army, right? :tu: yip, for the most part its easy to follow, but i worry about cassius as celestine for true WYSIWYG, in 5th it was fine he had a combi-flamer and power weapon, but now 6th has distinguished between PWs i can see an argument against it ive also got home made rhinos, more like troops trucks built out of plasticard ontop of chasis' from ork trukks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261613-tournament-advice/#findComment-3184073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 ok so my team mate is considering running BA along side the SoB 250 - Mephiston, Lord of cheese.... 105 - Assault squad, flamer 55 - las plas razor back 105 - Assault squad, flamer 55 - las plas razor back 200 - Sky hammer Storm raven, twin lascannon, twin multi melta, 4 x bloodstrike missiles 230 - Dakka Storm raven, twin assault cannon, twin multi melta, hurricane bolters, 4 x bloodstrike missiles im thinking the flyers will be a nice addition, and mephy is awesome, but mephy and celestine together should be evil Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261613-tournament-advice/#findComment-3186596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Fox Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 You'd have to double check the allies rules, with the Battle Brothers or not things and all that. Personally I'd just charge your Seraphim/Celestine combo into the same fights as Mephiston (specially since I don't think he's an IC, and I can't remember the 6th ed rules about joining an IC to a single model, assuming you're allowed to based on types of allies). I wouldn't have a problem with a scouts looking SOB army in something I ran, but best to check with the Organizer just in case.

greatcrusade08 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 yeah BA and SoB arent battle brothers allies, so no joining Ics to units and the like, although mephy isnt an IC anyway. the TO (a games store) has a facebook page that im signed up to and one of the regualrs has a grots counts as eldar army. if thats accepted i shouldnt have too many issues, but ill check just in case Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261613-tournament-advice/#findComment-3186746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 lol, that is a little more extreme. Your teammate has gone for all-out attack, so you should probably gear your BSS more towards objective holding... or pray to the Emperor that you always play Big Guns Never Tire, in which Retributors are goddesses.

badlybuilt Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Just as reference I did a doubles a couple of weeks ago with a BA partner. List was : Meph Libby dread Storm raven 2x 5man marine in las/plas razorback celestine 10 seraphim 2x hf , SS w/ PS 2x BSS with 2x meltagun in rhinos 2x Exorcists Did fairly well, 3rd place for battle points out of 21.Ran celestine as a meat shield for meph and dread. Sera DS every game and melted face. Pushed up with rhinos/ backs and blocked movement. Celestine even took down a wraithlord without taking a wound ! The exorcists were half useless due to rolls but took alot of shooting attention.

greatcrusade08 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 hmm i always thought Dsing a large squad within flamer range was a bit risky Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261613-tournament-advice/#findComment-3236878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yeah, same - why I always run 2 small squads instead of 1 big one. Plus, double chance of one of them coming down and twice as many hand flamers, potentially.

badlybuilt Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 For seraphim deepstriking I use the 6" rule. I create a circle around the drop zone that gives me 6" radius around the first model that is free of possible bad things. Majority of the time they will land and blast a good chunk out of something close by even if the flamers are far away. As for the two squads I have found they get killed quite easily and for the tournament I play in we are only allowed 1 fast attack slot each and one floating. Also I have used the seraphim deployed normally before and usually they get pasted before getting to something juicy.

*Furyou Miko Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 A tournament that only allows once fast attack choice? What, are they trying to gimp Sisters and Necrons or something?
