Centurion645 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Probably in the Works and Progress folder. :) If you want to display them as a whole (fully painted), put them in the Hall of Honor. As for the list, not much I can add. It provides a lot of decent firepower, and a couple assault elements as well. I do second the suggestions on at least trying out Redth. A Librarian is a general good HQ choice for Codex: Marines, and Redth gives a lot more to the army as well.

Tiger9gamer Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Alright, sounds good! thanks guys :lol: now, a question that bridges both modeling and playstyle... should I have my captain use a plasma-pistol (it would be wrist mounted like sanguinary guard) or a storm shield? I want him to look like he can use the sword two handed.

Tiger9gamer Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 so, I need to ask, what other characters in IA10 would be good?

Malus Trux Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 If you want a guy wielding a two handed sword then the pistol is the way to go. The shield would be awkward unless it was small & it seems a bit wonky to call it a storm shield at that point. As far as characters go, Pellas Mir'san is a cheap character killer & his resolve rule is pretty great, just wish it was army wide. Ivanus Enkomi is great for his increased initiative, can come with or without a jump pack & adds an extra attack to the squad while charging. Add that to his re-rolls & it makes any combat focused unit very scary. Tyberos takes a SM force from a ranged force to a combat one. It is a bit tougher 6th ed with the nerf to FC & assaulting from vehicles, though as allies this can be a great counter force. On the shooting side, with the changes to preferred enemy, Asterion Moloc is appealing if you've got a high SM meta in your area but only take him in higher point games as he's very expensive. If you do take him, he's surprisingly a good candidate to man a quad gun. When a deep striking unit or flyer shows up, blast it with his BS5 & in the following turn call in the orbital bombardment. If the enemy gets too close, have him lead the counter charge. Zhrukhal Androcles is a mixed bag. He isn't bad when taken in a vehicle heavy gaming environment or if you want to take a bunch of Thunderfires with your dev squads. On the other hand, C:SM dev squads have some of the priciest weapon costs available to Marines.

Tiger9gamer Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 hmmm.... what would look good on him then? A regular power sword, a blood angle wimpy-ish blade, or a huge Grey knight nemesis force sword? And I guess I have to play around a lot for this X-X Edit!: it is very much worth mentioning as I forgot till now. I already have an Emperor's champion model that has a plasma pistol super glued to his arm... how should I pry it off?

Centurion645 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 so, I need to ask, what other characters in IA10 would be good? I use Lias Issodon quite a bit, and he does pretty well most of the time. (Though he is in Imperial Armour: 9) Stealth is very useful, but you lose Combat Tactics. He gives the opponent a -1 to reserves as well, and has a neat little "power" that can be used at the start of the game. Most of the characters in IA:10 have been summed up quite nicely, but there are a few you may want to try out. Vaylund Cayl, while expensive, is a fun character to have, especially as he replaces Combat Tactics with Fearless. Also a MOTF, he packs a nice S10 Thunder Hammer, and is T6. Hope this helps. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265531-siege-vanguard-and-badab-war-tactics/page/2/#findComment-3240312 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger9gamer Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 An update: Don't have enough tanks yet for this list, but Started to put together 5 assault marines and planning on getting more. Also, need two Land raiders, but I think I can skimp out on one for now.
