Castellan Blackmane Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Okay so I'm going to play a few small point games at a GW in Edinburgh and I was wondering if you guys could help me make a decision. So rough list is Rune Priest 10x grey hunters w/2 plasmas 10x grey hunters w/ 2 flamers 9x ccw wolf standard power fist Now this leaves me with 2 options 1.Spend the points making the Rune Priest ML 2 and giving him better armour and use him offensively in the flamer squad for offensive power goodness OR 2.Buy a drop pod and buy 15 points worth of upgrades for RP or a plasma pistol. RP sticks with shooty squad and buffs them with prescience while the assaulty squad shocks in with the drop pod Thoughts?

Frater Cornelius Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Play unbound at 500 points. One unit of GH in Pod or Rhino, two special weapons, no upgrades. Swiftclaw Bikers with Fist or Fenrisian Wolves. Maybe even Murderfang in pod. Be creative. No need to burden yourself with 2 Troops and HQ.

That would be great but I forgot to mention that part of the rules is that you can only bring bound armies. So yes I do have to burden myself with 2 troops and an HQ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299340-500-point-list-help/#findComment-3863780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dallo Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Awesome, Edinburgh is my local GW, and I'm planning on dropping in for some small (500pts) games with my Dark Eldar, if I ever get them painted up. I was worried that people didn't really play 500pts at GW, with most playing 1500pts. Regarding the list, you don't have a great deal of anti-tank. Obviously you won't see much armour at 500pts, but the only thing you have that can touch av11+ are two plasma guns, some grenades and a powerfist, if you make it to combat.

Then go naked Rune Priest, 5 GH with Plasma in Razorback w/ TLAsC, 5 GH with Melta in Razorback w/ TLAsC, 5 Swiftclaws w/ Powerfist. Exactly 500 points.

I'd love to see some dark Eldar. My wolves won't be finished but I saw quite a few guys with unfinished models so I think they seemed pretty chilled about it. If you're there on Friday around 5ish I'd be up for playing a friendly game Sean Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299340-500-point-list-help/#findComment-3863790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dallo Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thanks for the offer, but it'll be next year before I find be time to drop into "the warhammer store" due to uni work. Who knows. I might even get some painting done over the holidays. I shall endeavour to meet you on the tabletop at some point.
