Prodigal Son of Magnus Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Trying out a new list for my SOH this Saturday and wanted some feedback from the community. 3K Lord of War: Warmaster Horus Lupercal 500 Rite of War: The Black Reaving HQ: Master of Signal 95 Primus Medicae Artificer Armor 95 Elites: Sons of Horus Apothecarion Detachment: Sons of Horus Apothecary Meltabomb 50 Sons of Horus Apothecary Meltabomb 50 Sons of Horus Apothecary Meltabomb 50 x10 Sons of Horus Terminators x5 Combi-Meltas x5 Combi-Plasmas 395 Troops: x15 Reavers Meltabomb 290 x15 Reavers Meltabomb 290 x20 Sons of Horus Tactical Marines Close Combat Weapons Meltabomb Legion Vexillia 1 305 x20 Sons of Horus Tactical Marines Close Combat Weapons Meltabomb Legion Vexillia 305 x20 Sons of Horus Tactical Marines Close Combat Weapons Meltabomb Legion Vexillia 305 Heavy Support: x10 Sons of Horus Heavy Support Marines Autocannons 285 My plan with the list is for the Tactical Squads w/ Apothecaries to move forward into midfield and engage while the HS squad opens up tanks. The Reavers are going to outflank and attack any units on the side of the field, mostly going after small units and objectives that are not defended well. Meanwhile, Horus, the Primus Medicae, and the Terminators will Deep Strike next to the biggest enemy target and blow them away. Thoughts? Comments? Criticism?

Moonstalker Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 1. As far as I know, Apothecaries can't take meltabombs. Is this a change in the new Crusade book? 2. What kind of lists will you be facing? 30k? 40k? Lots of armor in your local meta? It's important to know. By my general rule-of-thumb guess, you have nowhere near enough anti-tank. Your Autocannon squad won't scratch any of the big Lords of War (Fellblade, Typhon, etc) and in return those Lords of War will knock huge chunks out of your army each turn. Deep striking terminators with combimeltas won't cut it against 30k forces, as anything worth combi-melta-ing probably has armored ceramite in the first place. It's really cool to see a list that puts 100 power armored bodies on the table, but I think you're way too troop heavy between the Reavers/Tacticals and you just don't have the kind of heavy guns that you need in a list this large. 3. Wargear... your sergeants are really lacking in it. Which you can get away with, but I also think it's totally worth it to splash out 25 points for each of them to give them artificer armor, and either power axe/meltabomb/bolt pistol or powerfist/bolter.
