Butters Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm participating in a 2 v 2 tournament and just wanted some help. 2 v 2 Each person gets 1000 pts There are no ally restrictions. I have Blood Angels and Ultramarines. Just wanted some info on how to run this. I see Tau Tyrannid Dark Angels and Chaos Space Marines. Drop me any ideas.

Axagoras Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Iron hands chapter master with artificers armor, bike, shield eternal, digital weapons and a thunder hammer a 2nd iron hands chapter master with teeth of terra and a power axe on a bike in AA 2 scout squads with stuff khan on his bike and 5 white scar bikers with grav guns How to play: Take the brick and throw it across the table, and call in both orbital bombardments turn 1 since you cant assault (scout) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285997-2v2-1000pts-army-battles/#findComment-3577155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 I like the idea however instead of OB bike assault, why wouldn't I just run Ultramarines with three Thunderfire Cannons for 12 x Barrage shots every turn. Combined with 3 Storm Talon a Tigerious and 2, 10 man Scouts with snipers. They could hang out by Tigerious letting him Cast Prescience every turn meaning every shot could be rerolled. The Storm Talons could kill any Air support and everything has a 60" range. So nothing could get close. With the second team do Blood Angels and Deep Strike a Land Raider with a 9 Man Terminator Squad Joined by Mephiston. The Terminators could assault right away and Mephiston would wreck. Then they could Deep Strike 2 Storm Ravens with Multi Melta's and Twin Linked Las Destroying any vehicles. Plus scouts with snipes for pinning. The only fear would be the Thunderfire Cannons hitting my own stuff. But with a best AP 4 I wouldnt be two scared. Opinion's?

Fibonacci Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 No. The ramp over rides the disembarkation rule but not the reserves rule. A unit may not assault in the same turn that it arrives from reserves.

Butters Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 A minor set back I feel. The amount of firepower that that will be laid down by the Thunderfire and Stormtalons will kill anything capable of penetrating the Land Raiders 14 armor. Or at least I think so. And I could sub Mephiston for a Captain to free up points for maybe a Baal Predator.

Axagoras Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Fabonacci it says a unit may assault after disembarking.. not that it may assault from reserves. Also reference the lucius pattern drop pod where it has assault vehicle and it add a note that even though its a assault vehicle it still cant assault from reserves Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285997-2v2-1000pts-army-battles/#findComment-3578076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 does that make that drop pod completely useless then? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285997-2v2-1000pts-army-battles/#findComment-3578857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axagoras Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 no, since you can drop in sternguard who shoot everything down Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285997-2v2-1000pts-army-battles/#findComment-3579379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I use the sternguard Tigerious combo all the time actually. I ment the lucius pattern drop pod, or whatever that it.

Butters Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 and where is this drop pod located? Forgeworld I assume? So it doesnt follow the rules for normal drop pods as an open top vehicle and having to immediately disembark and such?
