temneb Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hi guys I'm planing a WE army, I'm working off army builder right now (not ideal I know), but this army will take me the better part of a two years to accomplish, so don't want to fork out for the books until it's ready to play. Mainly so I have an up to date book. The main problem I'm finding is how to get anti tank into the list. I'm running WE RoW, I'm starting with 3 large tactical squads, I'm including Khârn and Angron at various points, thinking of the infiltrating consul to get one of the squads close. Spartans are the obvious answer, but if I was to go with out tanks, how would you do it? I'm not adverse to adding bikes etc. Are assault squads with melta bombs viable? I'm looking for redundancy in units and to maximise the bonuses of hatred and rage. How do you do it?

hisdudeness Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Melta bomb throwing assault squads or Iron Warrior allies. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290790-we-and-anti-tank-how-are-people-doing-this/#findComment-3679044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Chainaxes. Well not really :P actually jetbike and bike squads with melta bombs should work out well as they're fast and will be in the enemy deployment zone 9/10 times. I think for you, take some outriders with maybe 1 TL melta per every 3 bikes plus melta bombs on the squad. Run about 6 bikes and you should be golden. Don't forget to toss on some power weapons ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290790-we-and-anti-tank-how-are-people-doing-this/#findComment-3679050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relict Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I second the advice of outfitting your assault marines with melta bombs. Personally, my list has that and some tanks of my own... Namely a Spartan and two Sicarans. If I were you I would also outfit a unit with some manner of graviton weapon.

temneb Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 What are the options other than breachers for grav weapons? Also anti air is something I haven't even considered. If I've got no vehicles, is it even worth worrying about fliers?

Nakuth Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Mechanicum/Ordo Reductor allies counting as forces from Sarum or similar. Tool up some Thallaxi with photon thrusters & meltabombs (squad of 6 with bombs & 2 thrusters comes in at a little over 300 points). They're jump infantry, so have more freedom of movement, and also adds more bodies.

Relict Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 If you are worried about fliers, then take a Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnought and slap two Kheres assault cannons on it. Pretty decent and survivable AA option right there.

temneb Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm not supper worried about fliers. As I see it they mainly serve the anti armour/air roles. I might get my self into trouble if I encounter a couple of hell turkey's, but otherwise I don't see them causing much of a problem to foot lists. Does this logic seem sound?

Galron Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 You can always add a Lightning strike fighter to help with AA and give it some Penetrator missiles, that way you cover both AA and anti-armor and it only takes up a FA slot, for me the least used section of the force org.
