Heretical Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 This is the list ive come up with so far, im worried its a tad AT light however, any suggestions would be much appreciated.the basic idea is that the preator and termis go into the spartan and steamroll into the middle of the enemy force, whilst 1 tactical squad follows to support, whilst the other two hold the flanks HQ PRAETOR -Terminator armour -digital lasers -power scythe -combi-melta DEATHSHROUD TERMINATOR SQUAD (5) + 3 terminators -melta bombs (5) /403 TROOPS LEGION TACTICAL SQUAD (20) +10 marines /250 LEGION TACTICAL SQUAD(20) +10 marines /250 LEGION TACTICAL SQUAD(20) +10 marines /250 HEAVY SUPPORT LEGION PREDATOR SQUADRON Tank 1: -heavy bolters -command tank Tank 2: -heavy bolters -plasma destroyer -armoured ceramite Tank 3: -heavy bolters /380 SPARTAN ASSAULT TANK -Laser destroyers -Armoured ceramite /315 LEGION ARTILLERY TANK SQUADRON -2 Whirlwinds Whirlwind 1: -hyperios air defence missiles /150 TOTAL-1998 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274117-2000-points-death-guard-heresy-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Here's my two cents: 1) change your predator squad to having just two tanks with plasma destroyers, take off the heavy bolters as you have enough anti light infantry....you can use those destroyers against the termie squads or 20 man blobs more effectively. 2) meltas have started losing their flavor and more people are taking plasma. I suggest substituting cerimite for a flare shield, it has a better general use and you should be able to take out small 5 man melta suicide squads easily with your tacs. 3) Replace the whirlwinds with a heavy support squad with a weapon of choice, preferably anti tank...or you can do volkite culverins because they have a high strength and shot output and their special rule. Put an augury scanner on the sarge and laugh at any flyers as you can intercept them and have enough shots to bring them down before they can do anything. 4) you can save points for your praetor if you keep his armor and just get a combat shield or refractor field. You will save 25-30 points that way and still have the same save. 5) if you have any points left get a Primus medicae for your tacs as he can get VPs back if they die,or if you have more points get an apothecary detachment instead. Nothing says, "I'm a death gaurd and am going to sit out any :cussstorm coming my way" like 20 man tacs with FNP ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274117-2000-points-death-guard-heresy-army/#findComment-3349576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretical Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 thanks for the feedback depth, ive made some changes to the list, dropping a predator, the whirlwinds and the terminator armour for the praetor as well as swapping out the armoured ceramite for flare shields and adding apothecaries. i was, however unsure about dropping the sponsons on the preds as a weapon destroyed result without sponsons would practically make it useless.. Id love to hear what you think of the revised list, it definately feels a lot stronger in my eyes, items marked in green are the changes: HQ PRAETOR -Iron Halo -digital lasers -power scythe -combi-melta DEATHSHROUD TERMINATOR SQUAD (5) +3 terminators -meltabombs (5) /393 ApothecarionDetachment (3) +3 apothecaries/135 TROOPS LEGION TACTICAL SQUAD (20) +10 marines /250 LEGION TACTICAL SQUAD (20) +10 marines /250 LEGION TACTICAL SQUAD (20) +10 marines /250 HEAVY SUPPORT LEGION PREDATORSQUADRON (2) Tank 1: -heavy bolters Tank 2: -heavy bolters -plasma destroyer /235 SPARTAN ASSAULT TANK -Laser destroyers -Flare Shield /320 LEGION HEAVY SUPPORT SQUAD (5) -Augury Scanner -Autocannons /165 TOTAL-1998 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274117-2000-points-death-guard-heresy-army/#findComment-3349761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Love the new "do". ;) Definitely a great choice with the AC squad. IMO they are more versatile and resilient than predators.
