infyrana Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Interesting list. I assume you mean Kheres Assault Cannons on the mortis contemptor ? Awesome looking weaponry ! May I ask why you have chosen to strip the full legion tactical of their bolter, as opposed to giving them extra CCWs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloroutofspace Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Because they're in the Spartan, which is supposed to get them as close to the enemy as possible? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisdudeness Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 And you can still Fury of the Legion with Bolt pistols and then assault anything that remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiR Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 You cant move before the Fury, so its silli to disembark from an Spartan and stand around one turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanct Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 And you can still Fury of the Legion with Bolt pistols and then assault anything that remains. but you can't move before using it so the target would have to stop within 12" of you. Maybe if he failed a charge but otherwise it's extremely unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydra89 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Ya sorry I ment to say 'kheres'. The reason I've gone for the 20 man squad all with CCW is because assaulting from the sparten they dish out 60 attacks on the charge plus 4 attacks with a power axe so no matter what your going to be rolling those saves plus for the amount of attacks and wounds they are reasonably cheep coming in at only 280 points.

hisdudeness Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 ...I get the "cannot move" restriction for Fury volley's, but the squad will only come assaulting out of the Spartan once most games. After that there is a good chance that they will have won the assault and have to consolidate toward the next victims, which will allow them to Fury before murdering. This also gives them the option of later turn defensive holds of objectives that two CCW would not allow. Bolt pistol and chain axe are the way to go. The second CWW also costs points for something the bolt pistol does just as well and gives a ranged attack. They can also still overwatch!! Fury and base 2 attacks for the win!! Over all I like the list...need more points, but a good start. Artificer Armor every single Sgt you have. It is hands down the best upgrade in the book. I've had my Sgt's "Matrix" 20 some odd shots just about every game. And the apothecary or Primus Medicae in the 20 man squad will piss people off.

hydra89 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 sorry for the late rely. the apothecary is with the 20 man squad to add to the squad being a pain in the ass. is there any other things people think I should add? and what's a good point limit for 30k?

Moonstalker Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 A couple of your listed point costs are off, but you're still coming out at 2k. You should double check the prices for your Contemptor Mortis and Tactical Support Squads. 2k is probably as good of a starting point as any for getting into the HH. I'm not sure if the nuncio-vox is terribly worth it on your ten man tac squad. As I figure, the WW Scorpius is a pretty tough artillery piece (as far as artillery goes, at least?) and doesn't have to be hidden behind terrain to be effective. And I am assuming that the 10 man tac squad with no transport is your home objective holder, as well, so it's not like they'll be getting line of sight to something that your opponent is hiding behind terrain on his side of the board. I think it would be better if the nuncio-vox was a vexilla in this case. I think Gorechild is a worthwhile upgrade for Khârn, if you can find the points for it. You might be a little light on anti-tank, but not by much. If you could find points for some meltabombs here and there, that would probably help.

hydra89 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 right I see I had a few typos in there reference the point but I've ironed them out at least it didn't affect the total. if found in my experience that the WW scorpius attracts a lot of fire due to how deadly it can be so for 10 point I can hide it away with no negative result. the 10 man is my home unit holder but you have 5 turns before you need to be on it so ill put the squad in a good position where they can direct the WW fire. I like the idea of gorechild and the melta bombs so ill have to have a quick think on what to drop in order to take some. thanks for your comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydra89 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 ok here is the new list not much changed just a few tweaks. what do people think? Khârn the bloody 170 Gorechild 20 6 man Rampager squad 150 5 Caedere weapons 50 Power fist 15 Plasma pistol 15 Artificer armour 10 Contemptor-mortis dreadnought 155 Twin khere pattern assault cannon 25 Apothecarion detachment 45 20 man legion tactical squad 250 Legion vexilla 10 Power axe 10 Melta bombs 5 Artificer armour 10 10 man legion tactical squad 150 Nuncio-vox 10 6 man legion support squad 115 5 plasmaguns or 5 meltaguns (depending what I decide to field on the day) 75 Plasma pistol 15 Rhino 35 Legion whirlwind scorpius 115 Land raider phobos 250 Land raider sparten 295 Total 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisdudeness Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Always...I say again, always take Artificer armor on anything that can take it. 2+ for 10 points is the best upgrade in the game. I've "matrix'd" 20+ shots multiple times, keeping my assault squads closer to full strength for the assault. Add in an Apothecary and you have a very resilient troop choice. You still need more points, 2k is the bottomed out level for Heresy games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
