Book 6 has re-roll 1s to wound. It's the latest rule, so totes legit. 

 

How many of your despoilers went down after tenderising the Terminators? I love the thought of pulping TEQs with tactical squads :D

Ah scweeet! I need that book.

 

I lost the Sargent to his preator in a challenge as I only failed 1 fnp against him meaning the terminators all died before attacking as unwieldy. I lost 2 to the nails...

 

If I had re-roll 1's the preator last wound would have been taken to

 

Rolling that many dice is just baller, it is now an auto include for me!

Just my newest take on our new emphasis on Tactical-Blobs-

Well, i guess the list is pretty self explainatory. One could argue to forego the Multi-Meltas on the Speeder and get something else other than the Veterans. Red Butchers e.g. 

 

What do you guys think?

The primary issue is having no scoring if you make all troops inductii, which you're almost forced to do if they are to be your hammer units. Then again, that only matters if there are enemy units left on the table after the wave of angry death sweeps over them.

 

By the way, am I the only one who really looks forward to seeing Daemon Angron both as a model and with rules?

20 Augmented Inductii Despoilers with a PF sergeant and Surlak kill an average of 10.22 Cataphractii on the charge.  Then 3.17 of them drop dead.  So worth it.

I managed 8 wounds, so not too far off...!

 

Hmm, so i don't have any of the books yet.  I am thinking maybe i pick up book 6 and the regular CAL red book while i wait for the new istvaan legions book to be released...or are they also updating the regular CAL book too?

They are updating that too, we don't really know a great deal about it but we are expecting a good few months. You never know though, they might surprise drop it with the new legions one. I'm pretty sure PDF updates will be released anyway for people like myself with the older books

Slipsteams helped me with the initial build of the list when i was using the orbital assault RoW and then after reading everyone's take on the book 6 stuff i turned it into this...

 

HQ

Khârn - Gore Child, Berzerker Assault

Gahalan

 

Troops

1x 20 Despoilers, Vexilla, Sargent has Artificer/Power Fist

2x 10 Tactical Marines, Vexilla, Sargent has Artificer 

 

Elites

Contemptor with Kheres, DCCW, Dreadpod

 

Fast Attack

2x Javelins with Multi Meltas, Cyclone Missles, and Hunter Killers

 

Heavy Support

Spartan - Flare Shield, Armored Ceramite, Aux Drive

Leviathan - Armored Ceramite, Grav, Claw, Phosphex, Volkite, Dreadpod

Leviathan - Armored Ceramite, Melta, Drill, Dreadpod

 

 

The Contemptor i look at as a pod tax so that i can bring in both Levis on turn 1 and the small tac squads can get objectives.

Just remember once Gahalan makes a unit nuts, it cannot be joined but other ic's so Khârn will have to be on foot...

​Hmm, well that puts a bit of a damper on things...I need t page back and look at Gahlan's rules again.  I think I am ok with not giving that blog the +1S and just using Gahlan for his 4+ FnP and extra attack buff.  I guess the question becomes, is the 4+ FnP worth the extra points over the 5+ FnP from a regular apothecary.  I am thinking...yes?

Ah yeah, that's what I meant. In retribution, along with the badass rules for Surlak :sweat:

Yeah, it is good and makes a difference and for an extra 60 odd points on top of a normal one. You can augment other squads if you wish, not just the one he is in

^He's worth the extra 60pts just basically, but especially if you're looking at Crimson Path.

 

Ghalan is no slouch in HtH, even if his armor save is a little light. Plus a bare minimum of a 5++/4+FnP makes him a lot more resilient than you'd imagine. 

Doing math with berserker assualt, i think that unit of 20 despoilers is putting out upwards of 100 attacks on the charge (2 for CCWs +1 for charge +1 for rage +1 for apothecary buff), with hatred, and rerolling 1s to wound.  And then you have Gahlan and Khârn's attacks...seems pretty brutal to me.

Edited by Guiltysparc

To be honest, Path is only superior to Assault in two cases: one, you're certain you'll be playing a scenario where the enemy defends and you attack, or two, when you're using Kharybdis assault claws instead of Spartans.

Yeah, this.

 

If you've got a list loaded down with Dreadclaws and Kharybdii already, its amazing. 

What is Ghalan Surlak armed with? I dont have the new book yet but i wanna build that guy already. Help me.out!

 

It's specified in the last 3 pages somewhere, but:

 

Power Armour

Refractor Field

Grenades

Power Axe

MC needle pistol

 

Also I don't think Path/Assault RoWs are necessarily so Pods or Tanks. Having 3 troops is a hefty amount, Path is good for those of us who don't want to die of Carpal Tunnel before getting to play wit their army.

New campaign weekend coming up in August (same one I built my eaters for last year) and have had word it's 3000 points no leviathan foc. With that in mind I have designed the following "scorched bastards return"

Legion Spartan Assault Tank [Armoured Ceramite, Auxiliary Drive, Dozer Blade, Flare Shield]

2 Spartans (one with tac squad, one with butchers) and kharybdis with Angron and probably surlak although he might go with the inducti to give them a bit more punch, not sure if it's better boosting angrons fnp...

 

Tactics pretty straight forward, hammer and anvil goodness.What are your thoughts on the list? Want it to be fun yet not a walk over and I have most of it done already so would just need the kharybdis

Can Angron not go in a Dreadclaw?

 

It's solid. My list is the other way around, with a Dreadclaw of Butchers and Angron in a Spartan with Inductii.
