Judaz Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I'm taking my boys to an Apocalypse game in early february and I'm thinking of adding some punch to my army. The question is, what? I have the following: Mephiston Astorath Dante 2 Libbys 3 Furiosos 3 sang priests 10 DC without JP 20 Tacticals 20 RAS 1 DC Dread 3 Drop pods 2 Razorback/Rhinos Stormraven Vindicator 3 Dreads 2 Landspeeders 5 VAS I was thinking about bringing some more DC, with JPs Or should I invest in a superheavy? More vindicators? What to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswanick Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 A couple of thoughts: - If you have access to a Techmarine, he and three dreadnoughts can form an "Ancients Assault Force" formation (IA Apocalypse, Pg.33). - If you can come up with 2 Deathstorm Droppods, they and three dreadnoughts in droppods can form an "Iron Cyclone" formation (IA Apocalypse 2, Pg.35). - If you can come up with 2 more Vindicators, they can form a Line Breaker squadron (Apocalypse rulebook, Pg.117). - 2 Tactical Squads and 1 Devastator or Assault squad in Droppods can form a Skyhammer Orbital Strike Element formation (Apocalypse Reload, Pg.17). - If you have access to 3 Whirlwinds, they and a Landspeeder can form a Suppression Force formation (Apocalypse rulebook, Pg.116). - Apocalypse allows Furioso Dreads to take Lucius Droppods, the key benefit of that being that they can assault on the turn the disembark. I'm not sure what "5 VAS" are, so I don't have any insight there. That said, you can never go far wrong with Super-heavies... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushtarador Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 A superheavy and Dante's formation! http://apocalypse40k.blogspot.se/2011/02/b...formations.html I am so looking forward to trying that :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I think VAS means Vanguard Veterans. Anyway, the answer is more DC. Always. To everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, you can never go far wrong with Super-heavies... ;) 'VAS', or 'Veteran Assault Squad', was one of the Blood Angels' distincting units once they appeared in Codex:Angels of Death. Now, we have the codex equivalent, as Res already said, Vanguard Veterans. Ah, those were the times... :unsure: Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it's not a GW published datasheet, some might get a little bent-out-of-shape if you spring it on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judaz Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Haven't GW released any BA formations in WD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Get approval from your game group. As it's not a GW published datasheet, some might get a little bent-out-of-shape if you spring it on them. According to the link, the Dante formation IS a GW published datasheet, seeing as it appeared in White Dwarf #373. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Sky Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Haven't GW released any BA formations in WD? Lot's There's the lucious assault force that overcharges all land raiders in it. There was a white dwarf with three BA ones including a DC powerforce, and some other great stuff. The Ancients Assault force is a great buy, if you want to play with dreadnoughts. Else: More Death Company. The Death Company some points + models Formation: Astorath 1+ Chaplains 0-1 Death Company Tycho 3+ Death Copany squads (1 squad must include Lemartes) 2-4 Death Company Dreadnoughts Every Death company model gets the Blood Talons rule. Strike Force From White Dwarf 373 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it's not a GW published datasheet, some might get a little bent-out-of-shape if you spring it on them. Some guy in our group has almost every white dwarf including the one where they describe this force, so that should be ok ^^ it's kinda weird though that they aren't published elsewhere thats true, or has anyone an idea how to get it?

Black_Sky Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Liber Apocalyptica were once to be found on GW's homepage. I searched last night, but could not find any articles (at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judaz Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 More DC seems to be the way to go. Maybe that's always the way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darklighter Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Is that the same issue that had the stormraven assault terminator data sheet in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
