I've got about 1300 pts open right now and my Knight collection consists of 1x Atropos, 2x Lancers, 1x Castigator, 4x Stumpy undetermined Questoris, 1x Acheron, 1xStyrix[/size]

 

Are you rich?

Is that your secret?

Or are you Bill Gates?

What is it?

How can you afford them?

TEACH ME!

;)

 

At that point just get a 20 man and put them in a spartan :devil:

I'm still trying to find a good ratio between Spartans and Phobos, since there's a good 100pt difference between the standard equipment versions now.

 

I think Terminus made a good point a few posts back when you look at Inductii (which are cheap) and assault vehicles (which are expensive) they kinda balance each other out. 

 

This is simply because you're all doing it wrong.  :P

 

You're all sitting around, buzzing on your cranial implants, all mammalian brain like a bunch of Space Wolves, or something.  It takes the cunning of the reptilian brain to unleash true savagery.  I hope you're wearing a helmet, so you don't make a mess when I blow your mind!

 

Berserker Assault

HQ: Khârn with Gorechild

HQ: Surlak

Elites: Apothecary with artificer, chain axe

Elites: 9x Red Butchers, dual axes, chainfist/power fist

Troops: 10x Inductii, chainaxes, artificer+powerfist, vexilla

Troops: 10x Inductii, chainaxes, artificer+powerfist, vexilla

Troops: 18x Inductii, chainaxes, artificer+powerfist, vexilla

Fast Attack: Dreadclaw

Fast Attack: Dreadclaw

Heavy Support: Kharybdis

Heavy Support: Kharybdis

Heavy Support: Melta Lance/Drill/Phosphex Leviathan in pod.

 

1st turn deep strike has two 5HP AV12 transports hovering over their heads, with a leviathan rampaging through their lines. Depending on how you position the dread pod, you could be jinking for a 2+ with those Kharybdis. Now your opponent faces the inevitability of a 2nd turn charge by 18 Inductii, 9 Red Butchers, and Khârn. The smaller squads come in whenever to clean up.  Hordes are handled by all the flame blasts and chainaxes, fliers by the Kharybdis rockets, armor just gets punched to death.  No scoring, everyone dies.

 

Basically the only issue is how you play the null deployment/orbital assault-style, and whether you auto-lose even if you get first turn. Khârn's warlord trait is quite helpful in this regard.

Ok bros, Terminus has been advocating it for quite awhile, but I just gave Dread claws a try instead of land raiders for my Inductii.

 

It was pretty awesome. I saved about 250pts which I put into a fun jetbike squad, and it opened up two heavy support slots which, as all legion players know, are at a premium. So I had 2 10man inductii squads w/ powerfist/artificer sgts and a Levi in a dreadpod. 

 

Any hesitation I experienced from losing four twin-lascannons and a bit of AV14 target saturation immediately vanished when I got to flame strike a bunch of stuff, which is just as satisfying as I thought it would be. I didn't realize how great it would be for knocking a couple hull points off vehicles, but it always hits the weakest armor value. So its pretty useful against light and medium armor like land speeders or predators.

Ah, none of that. I'm just occasionally little flush with cash between the research stipend I get every quarter and a g/f that spoils me a bit.

Chain axes are just pure insanity now.

Hmm...dreadclaw you say....how about this action for 2000pts?

 

-Praetor Tribune, Surlak, 15 Despoilers in a Spartan

-Inductii in a Dreadclaw

-Deadstorm Pod (DP Assault)

-Drop Pod Levi

-2x Javelin (MM, CML, HKs)

-Another Inductii but in a rhino (meh, points)

 

3 pods would let you bring in the leviathan and inductii on the first turn...could be fun

-2x Javelin (MM, CML, HKs)

What to hit with them? Everything! You can also use it to open beer and do small jobs around the house.

 

"Hey honey, the hedges need trimming."

"Let me get the chainaxe."

"Hey honey, we need to get the meat ready for grilling."

"Let me get the chainaxe."

"Hey honey, that neighbor's kid is in the lawn again."

"Let me get the chainaxe."

"Hey honey, the police are here, someone must of rang about the dead kid outside."

 

"Let me get BOTH my chainaxes."

Got to say, I fought Imperial Fists the other day with only a cobbled together World Eater list and yeah, inductii + axes are sick!

 

I sent 15 of them in against 10 storm shield/powerfist terminators and while they ultimately did get whittled down to about 3 left they took the terminators down to the same amount too. Held them up long enough for a support unit of 15 more to arrive and guarantee success. Oh and Polux was in that unit as well and my sgt. dodged the one shot punch and took him down.

 

I was actually even multicharging a lot as well as charging breachers, so wasn't even getting +2 for rage half the time. Stupidly, I dropped my red butcher's anvillus too close to the enemy lines and failed the jink saves and it got blown apart right in front of plasma cannons. Needless to say they all died. Had I not been blinded by the nails and dropped smart they would have wrecked even more face. 

Why did they all die? Why do people think Dreadclaws crash and burn when they are destroyed? The final effect of it being destroyed should have been NOTHING.

 

Edit: just saw the part about plasma cannons... unfortunate

Why not drop the deathstorm for another anvilus and put the other inductii squad in it?

The anvillus was too close to the IF lines (should of turbo boosted away and then returned next turn) and got exploded by a couple of melta shots that 7+'d them. They survived that no problem but yeah, were then caught out in the open.

I, uh...really like my rhino model?  Ya, that would work, lol.

So I really love my Red Butchers... but I haven't put them in a list for quite awhile. They're awesome, but having to strike at ini1 and always being hit on 3+ tend to whittle them down a bit vs dedicated combat units. And now that an Inductii with a chainaxe swings harder than they do...

 

It's a little bit weird they don't have furious charge.

 

Actually does anyone else thinks its a little weird how difficult it is for World Eaters to get furious charge since our legion rules changed?

 

Seriously, what legion is more about charging furiously than we are? 

I actually find all of our legion specific units a bit :censored: after the LAAoD update.  Rampagers were already pretty meh but they are super meh now vs regular assault marines.  I am pretty surprised the legion units didnt get an overhaul in LAAoDL when they knew they were going to be overhauling the vanilla units.

 

re: furious charge...we sort of get it all the time now via the chainaxe change.  I think if we got another +1S on top it would be a bit much.

I love RB and think they are damn powerful... But yeah, they are a suicide unit. You just need to cause more damage than they cost and not fight power fists....

 

ALSO I'd wager we'll get a new legions book around the time of 8/9, once the Vlka and Prospereans have settled and the BA/DA/WS are getting some full rules maybe.

I never leave home withou the butchers, I love the damage output and fear factor so much!

 

Butchers - aim for tac squads

Inductii - aim for terminator squads to take them out before they hit at inititive 1

 

This is why I like putting a preator/Khan with butchers so the get some higher initiative attacks in first

Yeah that's pretty much the optimum strategy. Even some hidden power axes against some veterans aren't stopping Butches with 2W 4++/6+++

As I've now not got the disposable income I had for 3 years, I've had to shelve realistically expanding massively so I have settled with 2 playable lists that use what I have now:

 

2.5k 

 

Khârn with goodies

Gahlan 

 

3x Inductii 

 

2x Combi-plas plasma blaster cataphractii with various stabbies

 

3x Dreadclaw (2x Cataphractii & 1 Inductii

 

2x Spartan Funbus

 

Upgraded to 3k:

 

Gahlan Surlak

Champion with Fun Hammer

 

3x Inductii

 

2x Red Butchers

 

3x Dreadclaws (same as before)

 

2x Spartan Funbus

 

1x Angryman

 

Much stabby!
