Lachdannan Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I've been playing in a series of games set in the Heresy era, with each battle escalating from the last one. I have put up the battle reports with photo's here. Essentially I'm playing Sigismund's force against some Traitor Imperial Fists. Each step I have done thus far has been adding 500pts to my existing force, and this is very different. So I would like some feedback on my proposed list for 2000pts. I'm likely to face a lot of contemptor's and Legion Dreadnoughts, and possibly a Libraian and Terminators in addition to the Veteran Tactical squads they have been fielding so far. So without further ado, here is my proposed list. Sigismund Legion Terminator Squad Storm Shields 3 Thunder Hammers --> Spartan Assault Tank Legion Tactical Squad (I) Powerfist --> Rhino --> Extra Armour Legion Tactical Squad (II) Powersword --> Rhino --> Extra Armour Legion Heavy Support Squad 4 Missile Launchers Scanner Legion Heavy Support Squad 4 Lascannons 1 Extra Marine Scanner Land Raider Proteus Land Raider Proteus Total: 1995pts I figured I would finally take an assault vehicle so Sigismund to charge out, and the terminators keep him company. I do have some Terminators converted with Cataphractii armour and storm shields, which I will use to help Sigismund out. Again any advice is welcome, as I am quite new to this (I have only played 2 Heresy era games thus far!) Cheers!

jeremy1391 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 What role are the proteus land raiders serving besides looking awesome? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302207-imperial-fists-2000pt-force/#findComment-3925194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hehe, very good question. That's pretty much their main role, that and providing more lascannons to the list. Plus they can help shift the heavy Support Squads around if needed.

Slips Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If you give them exploratory augur arrays (or whatever its called) they can be used as reserve disruption though the transport capacity goes down to 8 at that point. They also gain scout. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302207-imperial-fists-2000pt-force/#findComment-3925256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hmm, scout could be useful, though I haven't really seen anything go into reserve as of yet. Good notes for future use though. Would you think scout is worth it? Or stay at arms length?

Slips Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 A scouting land raider filled with Destroyers or Plasma Seekers is nothing to scoff at ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302207-imperial-fists-2000pt-force/#findComment-3925469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 A very cool idea. Might look into that. Should have plenty of plasma guns around to make such a squad.

Slips Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 A very cool idea. Might look into that. Should have plenty of plasma guns around to make such a squad. Quick note: Seekers can either Use Bolter or Combi-Weapons. If you're going for straight up plasma, its a support squad and they'll all have to have the same weapon. ie a Plasma Gun.

Phalanx Warder Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Money wise it may not be easy to get your hands on, but based on the contemptor/dreadnought spam that you may face consider 3 rapiers. It will cost less than a single protius and give you some serious AV killing power Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302207-imperial-fists-2000pt-force/#findComment-3928903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
