Ordo Machinum Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 1/051015.M3 I placed another order with FW to finish up this list. I want to start with a 'bare bones' VII Legion army. Minimum sized squads with the basic weapons given before any changes, upgrades, etc. My intent is to have a basic legionnaire force whose models (at least most of them) could later be integrated into a larger 'Imperial Fists' army from the Horus Heresy. On its own, do you think this force is too basic? I have not played any Horus Heresy or [redacted] games in [redacted]. I'm curious to hear any comments or suggestions from the more seasoned generals here. Thanks.

Slips Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If this is a start to an overall large legion list and not one meant to be as efficient and 100% competitive as possible, then yeah, its a good start. A bit of everything as a legion should have. Consider trying to make some room in your elites or fast attack slots later on; you'll need them for Anti-Air. If you plan on playing with this, at 2k points the lack of armor will hurt but you have so many squads/bodies that you should be able to outlast anything bar a Pie-Plate dispenser list.

helterskelter Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Indeed, vs a scorpius/vindicator/typhon a few of your guys will go squish, could easily drop a few squads to free points for a beat stick/ some transport, id say lose the vets, destroyers and 5 man tac squad. 375 points could get you some nice options Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302310-vii-legion-wars-of-unification-army-list-2000-points/#findComment-3926850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like some efficiency, but I am aiming for a larger list. I want to have squads with nearly all possible options. Anti-air may come in the form of Heavy Supports with missile launchers & autocannons ... and some augury scanners. Indeed, vs a scorpius/vindicator/typhon a few of your guys will go squish, could easily drop a few squads to free points for a beat stick/ some transport, id say lose the vets, destroyers and 5 man tac squad. 375 points could get you some nice options I'll have to consider getting a few rhinos until the squads get bigger. I have a box of old rhinos and land raiders that I need to dig up and kitbash for a HH variant.

Phalanx Warder Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 looking at this list you are going to get pounded at the 2k point level. You do have a high model count but spread across small squads and with the goodies I could bring at 2k points you are going to have a rough time. Consider pushing the vet squad and the seekers over to your tactical squads to give them more survivability and this should free some points as you are not paying but 10pts per model, add an apothecary or two to the tac squads or maybe Auto cannons with the HS squad. Artifacer Armor is your friend I cannot tell you how many saves my Sgt has made, i do not leave the Phalanx without it!
