lionofjudah Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I am lining out my army list and am wanting to reorganize the AT a little. I have Polux, a 2 apothecaries, 20 man tac, a 10 man tac responder in a rhino, a 10 man flamer squad in a rhino, Mortis Assault cannon contemptor, fire raptor- will be adding a mechanicum Ally list of Magos with ???, 3 thallax (want to bump it to 6 with the new rad cleanser group) and a castellex with cannon and probably a dark fire one to walk with him for insane fire magnet.... These are the solids- I am contemplating a 8 man plas seeker squad with a vigilator and apoth in a rhino and am looking for opinions on 6 jetbikes with 2 volkites or a venerator... Or a sicaran? I love the BFG on the venerator and figure everything is afraid of that. Mad dakka from the raptor can handle AA along with the Mortis at short range- the contemptor platform is the awesome and I'm stoked that assault cannons put out the number of shots they do- I have auto cannons on it now and recognize the insane number of dice ass cannons can roll with rending. I am thinking about a 5 man termi group teleporting into harms way to support the tac squads- either the 20 man blob or the seeker squad in the back field. I have a bane raider I can turn into a spartan if needed for the blob squad but would really like feedback on the AT vehicle.

Slips Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So, let me get this straight; You have: HQ: Polux maybe Vigilator Allied Magos Elites: 2 Apothecaries Contemptor Mortis AC/Kheres maybe Terminators Troops: 20 man Tac Blob 10 man Tac Blob - Rhino 10 man Tac Support - Flamers, Rhino Allied Thallax Allied Castellax Fast Attack: maybe Jetbikes - 2 Culverins maybe Seekers - 8 Combi-Plas, Rhino Heavy Support: Fire Raptor maybe Sicarian maybe Sicarian Venator maybe Spartan (would have to be a Dedicated Transport) Did I miss anything? If so, whats the points limit you're looking at? Because if its high enough you could potentially fit everything. You're also specifically looking for feedback on Anti-Tank vehicles, right? If so, which ones are you considering? You've stated the Sicarian and Venator as well as the Spartan; what else?

tdemayo Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 From a background perspective, I think that at Terra, the loyalists would lose most of their aircraft contesting the initial landings. Most of their armored assets would be ground away as they get pushed towards the palace. By the time we get to the siege proper, I'd expect the legion to consist mostly of infantry, with the few remaining vehicles kept as a last reserve, sent sparingly to bolster only the most critical fights or to make one last, desperate sally at the enemy. So I'd go for heavy support squads in fortifications, backed by a very few battered at tanks.

Komrk Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I highly doubt they would risk all of their air support just to contest the landings. If they gave up air superiority the siege would have been over much sooner and it wouldn't have turned out the same way Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302583-imperial-fists-heavys-at-siege-of-terra/#findComment-3934411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdemayo Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I don't see how the loyalists could possibly maintain much air support. The Traitors heavily outnumbered them in fleet assets, and could use that to destroy anything that flies. The loyalists could only maintain much air by keeping it mostly grounded, maintaining it for when it really mattered.
