Castellan Blackmane Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 So I have the first phase of my army. CCS, 2 vets squads, PCS, one infantry squad(Will get at least 2 more), Tempestus scions command squad with 4 volley guns, 5 scions, bullgryns (Because they look awesome, may use) and an aegis. So where now? I know I want a few more bodies at the very least, a Primaris psyker, commissar, at least one if not 2 vendettas/valkyries, at least 2 russ's and less certain about getting a wyvedn or 2, perhaps even sentinels or hellhound variants but seriously I haven't got much direction. I don't know whether to go human wave with combined squads and conscripts, a mech list, a flier list or some combination of the lot! Inspiration or guidance much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'd recommend some Chimeras. Even if you don't intend to make a mech list, having one or two (one to keep your CCS in, for example, and perhaps one or two more for veterans to go for objectives in) is useful.

Idlem Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I can't understate the importance of Chimeras. With all of the "Ignores Cover" rules floating around in armies nowadays, moving your boys along with a Chimera will keep them from being obliterated. It's cheap, has good front armor, and can pack a punch alongside with keeping your important stuff alive and firing out of the hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Chimeras are good for Vets and fire support, but it sounds to me like you might also need a tank or two! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 get 2 chimeras, 2 wyverns and 2 leman russes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 How have you gotten so far without buying a pile of tanks? The first thing I did was get a pile of tanks! That aside, Wyverns, Leman Russes and Hellhound variants are all vehicles I'd recommend due to them being very versatile if you crack out the magnets, and very capable of bringing hurt against the right kind of target.

hendrik Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 No heavy weapon teams? it's sad to say but our heavy weapon teams(except the lascannon teams) are completly outclassed by the wyvern,both in durability and damage output. for the price of 2-3 heavy weapon squads (depending on weapon), you could get 3 wyverns in a squadron, which will always work better! and given the low tax we pay to go double force org chart you will always have plenty of heavy support slots available!

Jacinda Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I am still putting together my IG/SoB army. I want volume of fire from the guard side so I am using autocannons in a 3 squad blob. I have been very happy with the results so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ravel Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 You should add a priest to that platoon if you plan on combining them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Oh, I have. And a heritic psyker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'm Heckus Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Tanks, my boy! The more the merrier! The boom of the main gun, the clack-clack-clack of treads of plastic-crete, and smell of fresh promethium burning the sin from heretics and xenos, THAT is what you need. Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! Tanks! No Imperium army is complete without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
