Dread Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It has been quite awhile since I fielded a Greenwing army. That being said, which of these do you think would be more beneficial in a 2k army? The command squad would consist of 2 meltaguns, champ, apothecary and banner bearer (chapter banner) in a razorback w/TL lascannons. Fortress w/krak storm and 2 hvy bolters. I put it out to you brothers, thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289987-fortress-or-command-squad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Well I don't see those two options as being mutually exclusive. I think we need a bit more insight into the rest of your list before we can make an assessment as to what would work best for you :) Cheers I Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289987-fortress-or-command-squad/#findComment-3661342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I agree with Isiah - it would definitely help to know what else you have in mind. You say greenwing, but are you aiming for a mobile force or a more static one, for example?

You say greenwing, but are you aiming for a mobile force or a more static one, for example? Yes and for the price of either u could take a nephilim, and while I'm normally recommending the ol neph situationally it's certainly more capable at doing stuff than a command squad on foot with full upgrades, or a fortress Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289987-fortress-or-command-squad/#findComment-3661580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Asmodai, 4 10 man tac squads (plasma cannon/guns, 1 lascannon/meltagun, 1meltagun/plasma cannon), all sqts are vets w/PP/PS vet squad 10 CC weapons 2with melta guns, drop pod assault squad sgt has melta b and p sword dev squad 4 missile launchers dev w/ 3 heavy b and a MM pred annihaltor My 2 buds that are part of my team up, 1 will be playing Deathwing and the other Mixedwing. Opponents I believe will be nids, CSM and not sure of the other yet. As for my list, all the models I have are accounted for. I generally play DW myself and RW which I have a large amount of. The main rule set up for the challenge is no fire turkeys are allowed so a flyer will not be totally needed.

aura_enchanted Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The neph is hardly op tho, it only get 1 shot to hurt tanks, and it's guns can harm meq's and some fmc's Anyway I'd probably take a ravenwing command squad then, they will be more mobile Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289987-fortress-or-command-squad/#findComment-3662058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Okay, it looks like you have an army of footsloggers with a couple of close combat oriented units which can get to the enemy side of the board. You have enough tactical squads to advance and hold home objectives. Whilst a fortress might be of use to make your backline hard to take down it does take movement away from you and (if memory serves) you can't put an objective in it, so the command squad, advancing alongside your tactical squads and with a banner could strengthen the advance of your tactical marines, allowing them to mow down smaller nids and put a lot of wounds on power-armoured foes. That would strengthen your advance and allow you to put more pressur eon your opponent which you can then exploit with your veterans and assault squad. If that's how you want to play it, of course.

Dread Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks, that sounds like a plan. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289987-fortress-or-command-squad/#findComment-3662974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
