DinoDoc Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 1st off, I would like to say that I absolutely love the Betrayal book and army list. The fluff is fascinating and the list seems to be filled with many fun options. Therein lies the rub. The options are bewilderingly vast and all are appealing. I'm stumped at how to make a list that fits within a reasonable points level (1850pts-2000pts). So I throw myself on the mercy of my fellow forum goers and ask for help in crafting a decent Son's of Horus force.

Hyaenidae Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Sons of Horus, huh? Well, the best option would be to build your army to fit the Son's perfered tactics; tearing the throat out of the enemy, overwhelming force targeting the weakest part of an enemy. To this end, I would suggest focussing on that strength. Take Abaddon, creating a Justerian and drop pod heavy list around his might. Seeker squads will help add flavour to your army, creating the impression of headhunting perfectionists. Contemptors can act as anti-armour, and with fleet, assist in the illusion of a fast lethal murder-team bent on the beheading of an enemy force. Just some food for thought, man. I'm going through the same pain right now, man, trying to build a fluffy yet effective Iron Warrior list. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264216-help-me-bc-youre-my-only-hope/#findComment-3219038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azevedo Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Would you be looking to have Horus, Abaddon or Loken? And would you want it to be mech or infantry based?

DinoDoc Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Would you be looking to have Horus, Abaddon or Loken? And would you want it to be mech or infantry based?No on Horus mainly due to me wanting to avoid the Apocalypse point levels he requires. I was hoping to make a Pride of the Legion list. So I guess that lends itself more towards Ezekyle or a Bog Standard HQ.
