Jax40kplyr Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thought I'd try my hand at a Solar Auxilia list of Armored Death - love to hear some thoughts and comments: 1. HQ. Lord Marshall, Metaphasic Reader: 90 pts 2. HQ. Tactical Command Section, (2) Grenade Launchers, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 250 pts 3. Elite: Rapier Battery (3), Quad Mortars: 180 pts 4. Elite: Enginseer Auxilia, Grenade Launchers, Cortex Controller: 120 pts 5. Troop: Lasrifle Section, Dracosan Transport: 235 pts 6. Troop: Lasrifle Section, Dracosan Transport: 235 pts 7. Troop: Veletaris Storm Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 280 pts 8. Troop: Veletaris Storm Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 280 pts 9. FA: Primaris Lightning Strike Fighter, TL LC, TL Autocannon: 155 pts 10. FA: Primaris Lightning Strike Fighter, TL LC, TL Autocannon: 155 pts 11. HS: Castellax Class Battle Automata Maniple (4): 340 pts 12. HS: Medusa: 175 pts Total: 2495 Some thoughts: 1. Everyone but the Engineer squad are buttoned up in AV13 transports. Enginerseer and his group can bunker behind the transports and keep the battle bots within 12' of his cortex controller. 2. 3 demolisher cannons and 2 lascannons spread out between the Dracosan Transports. 3. Strike Fighters can provide anti-air. 4. Metaphasic Reader will allow all units within 12' of the Lord Marshall to intercept deepstriking troops (including demolisher cannons). Hello drop pod/deep striking terminator units! 5. Bolt Cannons can help anti-marine, as well as charge in as needed for anti-assault units. 6. Enginseer servitors can shoot 24' haywire grenades, to help out with those Spartan Tank assaults. 7. Medusa provides another Str 10, AP2 large blast. 8. Tactical Command Section provides another Str9, AP 2 large blast, as well as (2) haywire grenade blasts. 9. Good mobility overall with plenty of transports for everyone. 10. Rapier Battery can each shoot those lovely Str 8 4 shatter rounds each for light vehicles or 3 Str 5 frag blasts for mass infantry. Comments?

Jax40kplyr Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Side note - can be dropped down to 2000 pts by removing the Battlebots, Enginseer Squad and a Quad Mortar. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Jax40kplyr Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Someone shot me a suggestion which might actually not be too bad - if the lasrifle guys are buttoned up, not exactly taking advantage of their 30' range on the lasguns. So alternate list that maximizes on demolisher shots, as well as BS4, Assault 2 Volkite Chargers would look like: 1. HQ. Lord Marshall, Metaphasic Reader: 90 pts 2. HQ. Tactical Command Section, (2) Grenade Launchers, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 250 pts 3. Elite: Rapier Battery (3), Quad Mortars: 180 pts 4. Elite: Enginseer Auxilia, Grenade Launchers, Cortex Controller: 120 pts 5. Troop: Veletaris Storm Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 280 pts 6. Troop: Veletaris Storm Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 280 pts 7. Troop: Veletaris Storm Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 280 pts 8. Troop: Veletaris Storm Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 280 pts 9. FA: Primaris Lightning Strike Fighter, TL LC, TL Autocannon: 155 pts 10. FA: Primaris Lightning Strike Fighter, TL LC, TL Autocannon: 155 pts 11. HS: Castellax Class Battle Automata Maniple (5): 425 pts 2495 again, drops the Medusa, but adds (2) more demolisher cannon shots in, as well as another Battlebot in.

Jax40kplyr Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 One final addition, since I don't have any superheavies (and they rock!)- adding a Stormsword would look like this: 1. HQ. Lord Marshall, Metaphasic Reader: 90 pts 2. HQ. Tactical Command Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 240 pts 3. Elite: Rapier Battery (3), Quad Mortars: 180 pts 4. Troop: Veletaris Storm Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 280 pts 5. Troop: Veletaris Storm Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 280 pts 6. Troop: Veletaris Storm Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 280 pts 7. Troop: Veletaris Storm Section, Dracosan Transport w/Demolisher Cannon: 280 pts 8. FA: Primaris Lightning Strike Fighter, TL LC, TL Autocannon: 155 pts 9. FA: Primaris Lightning Strike Fighter, TL LC, TL Autocannon: 155 pts 10. HS: Stormsword, Armored Ceramite, 1 pair Sponsons: 560 pts 2500 on the nose Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305130-2500-solar-auxilia-armored-wall-of-death/#findComment-3989206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
