thebloodyhand Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Okay I have have been bitten by the 30k bug, so here is my first go at a list. I know its lacking anti tank but not sure what to shuffle around to get it.Characters/units wise, fairly straight forward, Preator with the Gol Varbak in the storm eagle, Chaplain & Daibolist with the assault squad, ready to split of and join a tact squad when there in position. Then the heralds join their aligned squads. Slannesh to go character hunting with str 5 ap 2, ws 7 int 7, re-rolls to hit and they can't refuse challenges from the Herald should kill most things. The Tzeentch herald and horrors sit on my home objective shooting stuff, and my Nurgle soul grinder sits in terrain Shooting stuff.PraetorBurning Lore (Biomancy)Catarpact ArmourParagon BladeRite of War: Dark BrethrenChaplainJump PackRefractor FieldArtificer ArmourBurning Lore (telepathy)DiabolistBurning Lore (telepathy)Refractor FieldArtificer ArmourCharnbal SabreJump Pack5 Gol Varbak1 Melta gunArtificer ArmourPower Axe10 Assault MarinesCombat ShieldsPower FistArtificer ArmourDark Channelling10 Tactical MarinesAdditional CC WeaponNunico VoxLegion VexiliaCombi MeltaPower FistArtificer ArmourDark ChannellingRhinoExtra Armour10 Tactical MarinesAdditional CC WeaponNuncio VoxLegion Vex iliaCombi MeltaPower FistArtificer ArmourDark ChannellingRhinoExtra Armour3 Land SpeedersMulti MeltasStorm EagleTwin LascannonsArmoured CeramiteHerald Of TzeentchPskyer Level 3 (1 divination, 2 Change)Exalted Icon Of ConjuringHerald of SlanneshIcon of BeguilementGreater Reward (Greater Ether Blade)Steed of SlanneshPskyer (Master Level 1) (Excess)3 Fiends of Slannesh20 Horrors3 Plague DronesRot ProboscisDeath Head'sPlague BearerGreater Reward (Greater Ether Blade)Soul grinderDaemon Of NurgleTotal 2991 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289067-bearing-the-word-into-the-past-30k-word-bearers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevatar Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The assault squad is overpriced simply by base cost. However, my main worries with this list is your lack of a heavy hitter. You do not have a Lord of War, and you do not have a way to really combat one. A typhons, fellblade or Primarch will cut swathes through your units. Even the Gal Vorbak will have a hard time surviving the blast of a typhon. I also don't believe you have enough marines. The tactical squads are relying for a Rhino for movement, and it won't last long, leaving T4 models to be smiled. One of my main gripes is with daemons. It is fluffy, but....y will be shot to pieces. Your horrors will be destroyed by the large tactical squads. Similarly, your Herald will die to kitted our Praetors. And against Centurions.... I doubt you squad will even get to combat if say, a Master of Signal is in a Heavy Support squad. I just don't understand the point of the daemons in the list. They are begging to be shot by a Scorpius or Predator Squadron. Sorry if this is negative, but I don't think the army will be able to perform, as it does not have a Lord of War and doesn't have the means to kill one. Also, your squads, both marine and daemon, are fragile. Hope this helps.

thebloodyhand Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Seems fair enough bud, What I would be tempted to do then is drop the rhinos and HoS & fiends, up my tact squads to 15, up my Vol Gorbak to 8, I then have a few other options, if I'm not going for dark brethern, what do I a) spend my points on and which rite of war (If any) should I go for? Tempted by Orbital assualt but again that would mean squads no larger than 10, Also If I'm dropping deamons what should I do for anti air would some mortis rifleman dreads be the best bet.
