Captain Coolpants Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 With the relatively low points, what would you guys suggest the 'go-toooo' units are for such games? I'd be going against A LOT of plasma from nurgle Marines and tau lists. Because with rapid fire plamsas everywhere, plus feel no pain on a lot of stuff. Getting into combat effectively is going to be űber hard. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295865-making-a-list-around-1500-pts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ravens can help you there. Do you have a rough idea of your opponent's lists? 1500 is a pretty annoying level of the game for us. We can barely manage to put down 20 infantry models with support.

Captain Coolpants Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Well one guy tends to either have a nurgle biker Lord in a bike squad with plasmas. Or a nurgle terminator Lord in a raider with plague Marines with plasmas. He likes nurgle spawn for fodder and mass attacks. He also like spamming plasma to counter my dreadknights! 2 plamsas per nurgle squad in rhinos. He likes his defiler /decimator/soul grinder. And dirge casters where ever he can fit them. Don't know exact builds. But usually has some kinda combination of them. And my tau guy just has the usual tau gun line with a riptide and a few suits jumping around with yet more plamsas harassing things.

Captain Coolpants Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Here's a list I found of his. Not sure on the points. Probably won't use it now haha www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295851-chaos-vs-new-grey-knights/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295865-making-a-list-around-1500-pts/#findComment-3791296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 So no Obliterators? What about his melta? If he's really skewing into plasma that hard, you might have a solid case for taking Land Raiders. It'll render his shooting phase worthless, and you'll probably survive Overwatch on the turn you land your charges.

It'll render his shooting phase worthless, and you'll probably survive Overwatch on the turn you land your charges. Very rarely uses obliterators. He did meantion that he wants to use melta. But it's usually just plasma everywhere! Everytime I've used a landraider it's always been extremely underwhelming. And usually always dies to tau turn 2 or 3. Plus I only have 1 :-\ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295865-making-a-list-around-1500-pts/#findComment-3791912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Maybe just stick with Ravens then, if you're still worried about any melta he might have.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 1,500? I prefer at least 1,750 these days, but I'll give it a go; Nemesis Strikeforce: HQ: Librarian w/stave, Mastery 3, Cuirass of Sacrifice (150 points) Elites: Flame Knight w/falchions, 2x Purifiers w/hammers, 7x Purifiers w/falchions (302 points) Troops: (2) Justicar w/falchions, Terminator w/hammer+psycannon, Terminator w/hammer, 2x Terminators w/falchions (217 points each) Fast Attack: Raven w/twin lascannon, twin multi-melta, 4x stormstrike missiles, locator beacon (210 points) Heavy Support: (2) Dreadknight w/greatsword, heavy psycannon, teleporter (200 points each) Total: 1,496 points Librarian joins one of the Terminator squads, Purifiers go in the Raven. Land the Terminators off the Ravens locator beacon, thus allowing them to support your Purifiers. Dreadknights draw fire and should probably go after his Obliterators, as your infantry can chew through Plague Marines just fine. Raven delivers Purifiers and picks off any armour he brings.

Captain Coolpants Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I know I hate 1500.but we're playing 3 ways and we simply don't have the time lol. And I made a very similar list haha. Would you recommend utilising the strike force first turn teleport for the terminators? Or would you keep them on the board? Because the locator beacon on the raven can't be used unless the raven was there a while turn before anything else.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Definitely try for it, but the locator beacon is a 10pt insurance in case you screw your Reserve rolls. Unfortunately, at 1,500, you don't have room for an Inquisitor+servo skulls, or even a Comms Array.

Captain Coolpants Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 True. Well thank you kindly for helping ^_^ Just a shame more people didn't chip in for more variety. My posts usually get a few comments Meh. But thanks indeedy!

stephane4985 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I am in the process of building a 1500 pts list too. But can't quite get to something I like. Here is what I got for now Librarian, ML3, Cuirass 5 terminators (4 halberg, 1 hammer, 2 psycannon) 5 terminators (4 halberg, 1 hammer, 2 psycannon) 5 interceptor (incinerator) 5 interceptor (incinerator) stormraven (MM, lascannon, locator) dreadKnight (greatsword, H Psycannon, H Incinerator, teleporter) Which come down to 1290 pts. So still points left for maybe 1 squad (maybe 2 GKSS???), some Inquisitor with skull or even a comm relay.... Can't decide... A squad of purifier with an Ind in the raven maybe.... Or forget the raven, add a quad gun, another HQ and 5 terminators....

Seems the best vehicle to use is the stormraven for lower point games. But it's just the fact that a large portion of our army army would be in reserve Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295865-making-a-list-around-1500-pts/#findComment-3792363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephane4985 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yeah My bad, I first start by making a 10 man string squad but decide to split it after. Forgot to change the number of psycannon.
