helterskelter Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Although some would say I'm playing the wrong legion to be a treadhead, I say neigh, I like my vehicles in midnight clad! But my question is this dear crew, assuming we stick to the normal force organisation chart (2hq, 3 elites, 6 troops, 3 fa, 3 hs, 1 low), how many tanks can we fit into an army? Not worrying about points or double up, just this to begin with. I've got the idea its around, 21, having squadrons in 30k, thats 3x3 vehicles, 1 low tank, plus transports for hq, elites and troops. Anything I missed? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292661-30k-treadheadism/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Certain legions and RoW will help you take more. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292661-30k-treadheadism/#findComment-3722774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

helterskelter Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Tanks! Glorious tanks, ok I'm open to seeing the numbers the fellow legions can bring go the table via the means of Row, still just standard chart though, I'm aware onslaught has extra heavy slot, and that's cheating til otherwise stated :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292661-30k-treadheadism/#findComment-3722803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Well, the maximum I can think of, discounting RoW, would add a few to your tally... HQ x2 -> 2 transports -> 2 tanks Troop x6 -> 6 transports -> 6 tanks Elite x3 -> 9 techmarines -> 9 transports -> 9 tanks Fast x3 -> 3 transports -> 3 tanks Heavy x3 -> 3 squadrons -> 9 tanks Low x1 -> 2 LoWs w/ 8HP or less -> 2 tanksTotal comes up to 31 tanks... + Edit : If you take an Armoured Spearhead RoW, that means a possibble total of : - 29 Land Raiders - 2 Typhons If you use the Age off Darkness FoC, you can add one HQ (+1 tank) and 1 Elite (+3 tanks) slots..

helterskelter Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks for the number crunching Brothers! You made a treadhead grin like a madman (until I looked at the better half and realised there is no possible way to explain such numbers of tanks/vehicles in the house) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292661-30k-treadheadism/#findComment-3723290 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 But dear! Wouldn't you WANT me to crush my enemies under giant tank treads and blow them up with giant guns?!

Russ Brother 92 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 OR the old-fashioned - Darling, this helps me interact with the children and we both know how much havoc they cause when they're not busy with something... Besides this keeps me out of the way when you need the house for your friends (or in my case when she's crocheting/drawing) haha or shrink to those lowly depths and go for the "would you rather I spend it on a few models which can be hidden away or on things that need a garage..."

helterskelter Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 As much as I'd love to use those reasons, I outright denied her a samsung smart washing machine.

Slips Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I mean...if you if she's not THAT observant you could say that "but they've ALWAYS been there! What do you mean you've never seen them before?" :P But knowing most other-halves they probably are..especially when it comes to a hobby we invest a lot of time into.

Moonstalker Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Are you using 40K rules? What happened to the third HQ slot and the fourth elite slot? I know not of these The Age of Darkness force org (for use at 1750 to 3000 points) has an extra elites and HQ slot.
