New list thoughts....


Morticon

Recommended Posts

To be clear for anyone that missed it, you can't take Razorbacks as dedicated transports for ASM anymore (not even paid for). Morticon's list would work but only because he has no other Heavy support in there (only place to buy razors for ASM now).

 

(Source is 2nd hand but given how many people have the actual book now it seems unlikely to be inaccurate)

 

 

The same could be done now we can take 5 man tactical squads with a special or heavy weapon, but naturally you don't get the free razor which is half the reason people spammed them anyway right? (nor do they have objective secured unless you forgoe the whole +1 Initiative thing)

 

 

Maybe I'm wrong but full tac squads in rhino's seems the main way forwards now troop wise, extra bodies seem like they will matter that bit more for contesting and securing (especially vs the standard FOC). Kindof feel like with a couple of other support vehicles (likely baal preds and maybe a vindicator) this approach could make a nice anvil to a jump/pod hammer?

 

Then again if one were to go full mech +1 initiative isn't such a big deal and tactical razorspam might make some sense? (not that I really care I've always been jump pack heavy anyway)

 

 

 

The cost of 5 ASM + Razor with Las/Plas or Assault Cannon in the 5th ed codex is exactly the same as 5 Tacticals + Razor with Las/Plas or Assault Cannon in the 7th ed codex.

 

MSU Razors got stronger with the new codex as Tacticals>Walking ASM. However they could of done with a price drop, as Wave Serpents and Tau tend to vapourise them. MSU Razors may be something to come back to after Eldar and Tau have been re-done.

 

People don't tend to take Razors now because of Wave Serpents. However if you don't play against Eldar you'll be fine with them.

For my first battle, I was going to let them hoof it.

 

 

I'm keeping it simple for my first battle with the new codex.

 

500 points - Baal Strike Force detachment

 

Priest w/JP - 75 pts

TAC squad with Grav gun & Grav pistol - 100 pts

SG - 165 pts

Scout Squad with CC - 55 pts

Assault squad, trade JP for Pod with 2 Meltas - 105 points

 

 

Basic idea is to test out CC scouts, the Priest, and grav weapons (Grav weapons are a rarity in my meta, and will be the first time I use them).

Do you guys think it's better to put tacticals in rhinos or drop pod for general purpose?

 

That's basically the issue I'm trying to figure out for my army at the moment. I really like the idea of having fast 24'' moving rhinos to grab objectives but I also ike deep striking a squad directly onto an objective while making use of the flame templates. The rhino on the other hand makes the squad more durable and they're likely to survive a bit longer.

 

I really don't know what to take...

So do dedicated transports take up a fast slot. If I want a rhino for my tac squad, does the rhino take up a fast slot. Also, assault squads can't take razorbacks as dedicated transports? What the hell.

dedicated transports do not take up an additional slot.  Rhinos/razorbacks/drop pods only take a slot when bought for units that can not take them as dedicated (such as terminators taking a drop pod or if you wanted your scouts to have a rhino)

I expect that my list will look something like this (usually at the 1,500pt level)

I dont have the book but this looks about right for 1500.  any one able to price this up for me?

 

Priest - JP

Lib - level 2 - relic JP

 

15 DC JP and weapons - put in lib and priest deep strike

 

10man tac, heavy flamer, flamer, 2 flamer pistols pod

5 man tac, heavy flamer, 2 flamer pistols pod

 

5 man ass 2 melta 2 melta pistols pod x 3

1st list idea 

Dante-220

Corbulo-120

Tactical Squad 10 man flamer and hvy flamer  Drop pod-190

Tactical Squad 10 man flamer and hvy flamer  Drop pod-190

Tactical Squad 10 man flamer and hvy flamer  Drop pod-190

15 DC 4 powerfists-300

Command Squad- Jump packs Power Weapon for Blood Champion-140 

Predator-Lascannon sponsons and Lucifer engines-125

Predator-Lascannon sponsons and Lucifer engines-125

Land Raider Crusader-250

Corbulo with DC is nasty

 

Corbulo on the Charge is WS6 S6 I7 5 attacks rending

 

DC w/ corbulo on a charge are now WS5(Red Grail) S5(furious charge) 5 or 6 attacks EACH (2 base, 2 bc of rage, 1 charge, and 1 maybe for CC weapons) depending on how you equip them

 

So many possibilities in the new codex!

I'm totally going to run Mephiston with a squad of Hammernators and a priest all in a land raider redeemer.

 

Mephy eats any 3+ saves and MCs while the hammernators LoS for him for AP2 hits and get +1 WS for the needed hits and FNP for bullet overloads. I am dubbing this now the MephStar....

 

So shall it be known, so shall it be named.

Needz MOAR flamers.

 

I suggest a kharibidyis drop pod that shoots out flames when it drops and switching everything that doesn't have a flamer to either a redeemer or some flame storm Baal predators.

 

That is all.

 

Flames for the flame go- I mean Vulka- err Sanguinius!!!

Thanks for that Bis.  With the 110 points I could look at dropping the libby and adding dante for some cc support.

 

Against Eldar I'd probably drop all of the melta squads first  to de-bus the wave serpents then follow up with the flamer pods.  Against hordes it goes the other way.

 

A slight tweak might be to remove one of the ass squad pods, tool up the 5 man tac with 3 meltas and then bring in the anti psyker assassin in a pod.

 

Edit:

 

Actually Meph looks good instead of swapping out the libby for dante but you have to roll for the jump power and then there is the chance of not getting it off.

 

Edit Edit:  actually going on 135 pts per ass squad thats 405 pts so i have an addtional 105pts up my sleave.  Maybe fill out the tact squad to 10 men or find some more jump packs somewhere.

Do you guys think it's better to put tacticals in rhinos or drop pod for general purpose?

I would definitely throw them in a Drop pod for a few reasons:

1. You pick wear it lands(minus the scatter)

2. It is more resilient than a rhino 

3. It is cheaper than a rhino

4. "Objective secured" drop pods
