Corton Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hey guys. For a while now I have contemplated getting a Heresy Army. I have decided on Iron Hands, at around 1500 points to get me going. The question though; Armor. I am not sure what tanks to go with (looking at both transports and/or dedicated tanks). Any suggestions? So far I have settled with: Iron Father (set up with hammer and volkite in Cataphractii) Contemptor w Assault Cannon x2 5 Cataphractii Terminators - 2 w LC, 1 w H.Flamer n C-Fist, pair of Combi-melta 15 Legionaires - Vexillas, Vox, Power Weapon (maul or axe-undecided) 15 Legionaires - As above w Fist instead of PW 1107 pts, give or take As you folks can see, I have some room to play with (regrettably not a lot, but such is the beast of 30K). So, any suggestions? I'm leaning towards a Sicarian, but I am not too sure given the army is a little slow.

depthcharge12 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 If you are doing IHs, I'd really suggest taking Castermen Orth with a Sicaran as he's super deadly in it! I believe he has tank hunters, which is fantastic for what you need especially since you have a rending weapon and tanks are more hardy now with the shifted damage chart. If you get to higher points limit, I'd suggest taking the gorgons wrath RoW to outflank your tanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292481-starting-new-heresy-army-but-need-advice/#findComment-3719062 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Brother 92 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 If you're thinking transport I recommend the Spartan all the way, MBTs I'd go for the Sicaran Venator (it'll give you some long range AT) or normal Sicaran's. Carstmen Orth would solve things where an HQ is concerned and the added AT punch via his rending.

Corton Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Yeah Orth is tempting in a Sicaran, but the possibility of using a Spartan is also pulling me to and fro. Maybe a rhino for one unit (restructure to a 10 man unit) and the rest in the Spartan? Damn new stuff, I never really know what best to apply to where...

SW1 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 30k ends up being such a labour of love that rule of cool has to override everything else. Whatever catches your eye the most is the way to go. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292481-starting-new-heresy-army-but-need-advice/#findComment-3719730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corton Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Spartan it is then. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292481-starting-new-heresy-army-but-need-advice/#findComment-3719772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
disease Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 predator squadron? remember, in 30k the predator auto cannon fires more shot and the executioner (as far as i know) doesn't get hot. Okay its 400pt, but it is 3 AV13 nuisances!

Corton Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 @ disease: That's a really good point to consider. I had not thought about squadrons (still in 40K mode, not 30k). That IS something i will ponder over.
