Legion Astartes [VII: Imperial Fists]

 

Comes to 1.5k flush.

 

Now, while this is probably one of the least efficient lists ever (Destroyers and the uber Points-sink Warder Squad), Its the models I want to run. Also consider that my regular opponents are likely to be Solar Auxilia and/or Mechanicum (same guy, will see what he brings) and Iron Hands (or whatever else Wolf_Pack decides to play) with maybe occasional appearances from Night Lords, Raven Guard and Iron Warriors.

 

The Destroyers are mostly there to soften up any multi-wound pain-trains that I might come into contact with (mainly Castellax).

 

Contemptors are there because I love them. Trying out a Plasma Cannon on one due to how Blasts work in ZM and for 10pts, why not?

Chose Gravitons for Haywire and the Dangerous/Difficult Terrain bubble they leave behind. With how cramped ZM is, it can come in handy.

 

Command Squad is the way they are because of WYSIWYG made up of some of my available models. Though honestly, they're the first selection in this list that I would ditch for something else, really, though that Fearless bubble may come in handy. I will also not glue them to Polux and have him be with the Warders so he can Benefit from the +1T and +1 initiative when charged or Hammer of Wrath if charging.

Oh and before any of y'all state the obvious, I'll try and get the guys I'm playing with to House Rule Polux's Deepstrike in conjunction with Stone Gauntlet same with Phalanx Warders being Compulsory troops even though I'm using the Attacker FoC and the compulsories for that are HQ & Elite.

Anyways, any C&C welcome; y'all might be seeing something I'm not.

Seems interesting, Polux really is nice for Zone Mortallis with or without the deepstrike. Stone Gauntlet is also lots of fun.

 

Since you don't have any compulsary troops you don't need a breacher squad to begin with so you're safe there. Will be interesting to see how the list plays out.

 

I will say that from personal experience ten man destroyer squads can have some issues in ZM but if you can position them well they can do some serious damage.

Slips,

Correct me if i am wrong but don't you either need X2 Breacher squads or X2 Phalanx Warder squads / mix of both to qualify for GoS? Could be wrong.

 

Destroyers in my experience are just NASTY!!! From bringing down a squad of Gal Vorbak to gutting 15 of my Breachers they perform very well if they get to fight on there own terms. 

 

If you are allowed to DS any unit you should consider giving it to a Contemptor because rule of cool! I just played the Taking of the Contador" mission and that's exactly what I did with my Mortis Contemptor and it caused some proper mayhem!

For the Bolded, yes and no.

 

On the one hand, I'm using the ZM attacker FoC meaning my compulsories are HQ and Elites so I dont technically have compulsory troops that would need to be Breachers; thats what you're probably thinking of.

 

On the Other Hand, if it were a problem I'd probably succeed in getting it house ruled since our group is pretty ok with tiny stuff like this that isnt game breaking shenanigans.

 

 

I'll take your word for it on the Destroyers and the Contemptor! Will see how they fare against Wolf_Packs Iron Hands possibly this tuesday!
