Blacksails Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'm putting together my planned purchases, and I figure 3k is about the largest I'd reasonably play. So here's what I'm thinking of buying first; Lord of War Vulkan - /425pts HQ Centurion – Librarian Consul, ML1/95pts Elites Firedrake Squad (5) – 4x Dragonscale Stormshield, 5x Thunder Hammer, 1x Heavy Flamer, Spartan, Armoured Ceramite, Flare Shield/690pts Mortis Contemptor Dreadnought – Two Multi-melta/155pts Mortis Contemptor Dreadnought – Two Multi-melta/155pts Mortis Contemptor Dreadnought – Two Multi-melta/155pts Troops Tactical Squad (10) – Rhino, Heavy Flamer/200pts Tactical Squad (10) – Rhino, Heavy Flamer/200pts Tactical Support Squad (5) – 4x Melta Gun, Rhino, Heavy Flamer/210pts Tactical Support Squad (5) – 4x Melta Gun, Rhino, Heavy Flamer/210pts Heavy Support Sicaran Battle Tank – Hull Heavy Flamer, Lascannon Sponsons/175pts Sicaran Battle Tank – Hull Heavy Flamer, Lascannon Sponsons/175pts Whirlwind (2) – Hyperios Air Defense Missiles/150pts The contemptors are both my anti-air and mobile anti-tank. The RoW MC's their guns which makes them even more reliable. Sicarans are all purpose, with their hull heavy bolter swapped for a S6 hull heavy flamer. The whirlwinds are primarily anti-air, but can shoot at ground targets if needed. Vulkan rides with the Drakes in the Spartan, and the Libby hangs out with one of the support squads and will roll on divination. I think all my bases are pretty covered. Though any armoured ceramite vehicles will give me issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Have you contemplated taking armored spearhead RoW? extra +1 to tank shock and no negatives as your list is already mech... Those firedrakes do scare me though haha :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksails Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 I thought about it, but the Salamander RoW gives me MC'd Meltas, which is nice on the dreads and the support squads, as well as 5++ against meltas and a few other weapons on all the vehicles. Finally, the RoW gives me move through cover, which almost on its own is nicer than the -1Ld tank shock. The Firedrakes do look tasty on paper. I'm excited to see what the models will look like.

Azevedo Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Putting multi-meltas on the contemptors seems like a waste when you could have sweet, sweet kheres instead. It might be less fluffy but it's made of win. I would be tempted to sacrifice the Hyperios for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
