yutang Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hi all I was looking to get into 30k and decided to choose Sons of Horus as my legion. I've taken a quick read of the books and forums but haven't bought any models yet. I want to plan out my army before purchasing from Forgeworld. I will be facing normal 40k armies but not super overpowered ones. This is my first rough draft of a 2000 points list which I would want to expand into 3000 points at some point in the future. Unfortunately the lists I build are about 150ish points over when I want to squeeze all the toys I want in. I would appreciate if I could get some help on cutting down the fat in my list: HQ Centurion Primus Medicae Cataphractii armour 120 pts Elites 10 man Legion Terminator Squad 2x Reaper Autocannon 2x Power Axe 2x Power Sword 2x Single lightning Claw 2x Chainfist 2x Power fist 5x Combi-melta 430 2x Apothcaries 45 Contemptor Mortis 2x Kheres 180 20 man Legion Tactical Squad Vexilla Sergeant with Power fist and artificer armour 285 20 man Legion Tactical Squad Vexilla Sergeant with Power fist and artificer armour 285 10 man Legion tactical support squad 10x Volkite Charger Sicaran with Lascannons 175 Spartan tank Armoured Ceramite, Flare shield, Heavy Flamer, Frag Assault Launcher 365 Comes out to 2155 points. Where do I trim the 155 points? Expanding to 3k points, I want to later include: Horus 500 points Fire Raptor with Reaper autocannons and hellstrike missiles 230 points Veteran Squad 10 man, 2x power swords, 2x meltaguns, sergeant with power fist and artificer armour 275 points Thoughts on this?

Sevatar Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think you should cut back on the Terminators and their warhead. Personally I don't rate Lighning Claws on a 2+ model, as it is useless saves as it is useless against Terminator s. I would also get rid of some of the Support squad and the flamer on the Spartan.

infyrana Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 You don't need to have all the extra trimmings all the time - so you can remove for example things like the extra power fist and/or chain fist and/or autocannon and/or meltas from the terminators. Heck, you can even reduce it by a single model or two. Same goes for your Tactical and Support squads, just reduce them by a model or two until you reach the required target. In addition, do you really need the flamer and launcher on the Spartan for a 2k list? For the 3k list, simply add all the gadgets back accordingly. Not saying that's the best way, but it's one possible way to trim the fat :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
