gmaleron Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hello everyone, after a few months of debating which legion and list I would want to do I have finally settled upon the Imperial Fists and an army centered around my now FAVORITE Character in the entire series: Alexis Polux. Im sorry a mere Space Marine Captain who nearly killed the hated Iron Warriors Primarch Perturabo and Falcon Punched Konrad Curze (and lived to tell the tale about it) is a bad ass in my book! Now below I have a few ideas that I want to do with this list, primarily centered around the "Stone Gauntlet Rite of War" and would love to have some feedback regarding them. Thanks for replying guys! LIST #1: ARMORED FIST HQ: -Alexis Polux -Centurion Primus Medicae *w/ Artificer Armor, Solarite Power Gauntlet, Boarding Shield TROOPS: -x10 Phalanx Warders *w/ x2 Plasma Guns, x1 Power Fist -Land Raider Phobos *w/ Armored Ceramite -x10 Phalanx Warders *w/ x2 Plasma Guns, x1 Power Fist -Land Raider Phobos *w/ Armored Ceramite -x20 Phalanx Warders *w/ x4 Plasma Guns, Power Fist -Spartan Assault Tank *w/ Armored Ceramite, Flare Shields HEAVY SUPPORT: -Sicaran Battle Tank *w/ Sponson Lascannons -Sicaran Battle Tank *w/ Sponson Lascannons LORD OF WAR: -Typhon Heavy Siege Tank *w/ Lascannon Sponsons, Armored Ceramite TOTAL ARMY: 3000 POINTS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIST #2: SHIELD WALL HQ: -Alexis Polux -Centurion Siege Breaker *w/ Artificer Armor, Boarding Shield, Solarite Power Gauntlet, Melta Bombs ELITES: -Apothecary Detachment *w/ x3 Apothecaries, x3 Augary Scanners -Rapier Battery *w/ x2 Quad Mortars (or) Laser Destroyers -Rapier Batter *w/ x2 Quad Mortars (or) Laser Destroyers TROOPS: -x20 Phalanx Warders *w/ x4 Plasma Guns, x1 Power Fist, Legion Vexillia, Vox -x20 Phalanx Warders *w/ x4 Plasma Guns, x1 Power Fist, Legion Vexillia, Vox -x20 Phalanx Warders *w/ x4 Plasma Guns, x1 Power Fist, Legion Vexillia, Vox HEAVY SUPPORT: -Sicaran Battle Tank *w/ Lascannon Sponsons -Sicaran Battle Tank *w/ Lascannon Sponsons -Artillery Battery *w/ x3 Medusas TOTAL ARMY: 3000 POINTS Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303374-3000pts-imperial-fists-stone-gauntlet-polux-which-list/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nusquam Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Both look like solid lists. First one is hard to crack and the second has a lot of good shooting. Both fluffy. All the AV14 in the first one plus the Typhon would make anyone who doesn't spam graviton and armourbane weep. The second has good shooting and plays well within the game itself. I guess the real question is: Attack or Defend? Edit: Just realized you won' be able to fire the plasmaguns and assault out of the Spartan. Meltaguns might derv you better.

Hand of Sigismund Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I like the only thing I'd switch is the plasma with combi weapons to get the special weapon and get the BS 5 with the bolter parts.

jeremy1391 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I personally like the first list more, the one thing I would change though is the plasma guns which others have mentioned will prevent assaulting. Perhaps put melta guns on the two small squads in the Phobos land raiders and put 3 power axes on the squad in the Spartan to help deal with TEQ's.

jeremy1391 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 You also NEED to find points for Vexillas. Nothing worse than breaking and getting swept.

gmaleron Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks for the replies guys, always wanted to ask one more thing: -Since this is Alexis Polux and him being a Fleet Master and all that should I consider running a completely different Rite of War and doing an Orbital/Air Cav themed list to fit him better?

Slips Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 If you do Orbital you're restricting youself to deepstrikes, 10 man pods or a Kharybdis for 10+ capacity. Beyond that you'll have no tanks and flyers/dread (in pods) will be your only Anti-Armor Solutions. Unless, you stuff Rapiers into pods (the rapier is extremely bulky + 2 crew = 5 slots). Air Cav, a.k.a Angels Wrath means you'll be spamming Skimmers, Jetbikes, Jump Infantry or Non-Jump Infantry inside Flyers. Again, no tanks here.
