Hear da Lamentation Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I've seen the wonderfully fun march of the ancients 750 point list with 4 or 5 dreads.. it made me wonder what great combinations we can make from the new detachments at low points 500-750. What's the fangs opinions on this? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297794-small-point-games-opportunity-for-some-list-fun/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Dreads are great at low point games, especially Björn, since people can not pack sufficient AT weapons given their high price. Take the Björn + VenDread formation to make enemy cry :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297794-small-point-games-opportunity-for-some-list-fun/#findComment-3829503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenrisWolf Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 To clear my confusion on the new structures, is Bjorn's Formation w two other ben dreads a complete army that is not unbound?

Frater Cornelius Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Formations can always be used. However, you would need another HQ seeing as a Formation is a separate detachment.

FenrisWolf Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Ok, I was thinking you'd need an additional HQ if you used that formation.

Jacinda Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 people can not pack sufficient AT weapons given their high price.My typical 500 point list has a chainfist, 6 melta weapons and d6 S8 AP1 missiles We killed an Inquisitor/Knight list a few week ago. Blew up the Knight at the top of turn 2 and he conceded. While Sisters of Battle excel at low points, the rock, paper, scissors aspect really comes through, tho. 500 points games a fast and fun. One lucky roll (or unlucky roll) can make or break the game.

Jacinda Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Ok, I was thinking you'd need an additional HQ if you used that formation.You can have a formation that has no HQ at all and still be Battle Forged. Everything has to be in a detachment and Formations are a type of detachment.

Hear da Lamentation Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 My mistake actually - the Dread list was a CoF list.

Hear da Lamentation Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 I was also thinking of a full wolf list Something like WGBL thunderwolf, SS, wolf claw Iron Priest thunderwolf 3 cyber wolves 3 thunderwolf cavalry 2 SS, pf 9 fenrisian wolves 499 points Fast moving ... But no shooting at all of course I wonder what other themed type lists you could have fun with Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297794-small-point-games-opportunity-for-some-list-fun/#findComment-3830740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
