bozo69pd Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Starting to brainstorm for my next GW 40k escalation league (got some time) which flows from 500-2k points. I'm going to be running traitor guard. I've also converted my own Plasma Obliterator which I'm going to start off with at 500 point game. Theres a bonus 150 points which has to be speant on ONE character (I'm going to use a vindicaire assassin) So far my list is as follows: company command squad with master of ordinance and primaris psyker (for prescience) veteran squad veteran squad with 3 flamers Plasma Obliterator with void shield and thats 500 points. First I can't remember whether the PO has battlements or not, but it is a medium building... so I think so? I would just have veterans man the building, CCS on roof with psyker, deploy flamer veterans and sniper on another close by objective. I think my psyker on the roof can presience the squad in the building just in case i get a bad scatter on the cannon. Just focus the cannon, ordinance, and assassin on the most dangerous target at the time, then use flamers and heavy bolters on whoever is going for a charge. If I come up against a knight though its GG. Eventually I'm going to build upon this skeleton to spam veterans/blob (haven't decided. I'm using cultist models as my traitor guard and have 70 of them) and wyrdvane psykers to summon in daemons. Also after 1k points my shadowsword will come in.

WarriorFish Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm not really familiar with the plasma obliterator but it sounds like it may be OTT for 500pts? Especially for the points, it leaves the rest of your army forming around it which is a lot of eggs in a stationary basket - something I'm not sure you can afford at such low points.

Father Mehman Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 And when your building goes boom all those inside fry. I wouldn't care much given you're playing Traitor Guard !

Jolemai Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I think it's kind if fluffy: the remnants of a force holding out in a tower of some kind.

bozo69pd Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Totally. My fluff for the league is that an Imperial bastion got corrupted by Nurgle with that good ol' slow plague to make the poor guardsmen fear death. Lets just say they failed their moral test. The survivors stationed within have converted a big Plague Cannon on top to drop some pestilential pie plates on the loyalists. Those who want to save their own skin can turn to Nurgle and swell the points of my army week by week.

bozo69pd Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Just read that these are heavy supports in WD despite being fortifications in Stronghold Assault. Now I can fit in 2 more and an aegis!

WarriorFish Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 "Fit" is a bit of a strong term for 500pts :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306225-plasma-obliterator-in-500-point-league/#findComment-4011520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandwen Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It would be quite funny for a single Ironclad dread to wipe your whole army (while you kill the entirety of the rest of that army).

bozo69pd Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Checking out the signups is looking like there is going to be lots of ork and tyranid players. One of them bought like a hundred gaunts while I was there. The guy with one knight is going to give me a bad day though!

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm not all that familiar with the plasma obliterator, is it new? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306225-plasma-obliterator-in-500-point-league/#findComment-4011774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandwen Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm not all that familiar with the plasma obliterator, is it new?Its a new fortification. Puts out some huge plasma pie-plate, holds a decent amout of guys inside as well.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 That seems pretty cool. I kinda want one for my table now. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306225-plasma-obliterator-in-500-point-league/#findComment-4011868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Such is the nature of skewed lists, especially at smaller points - just got to hope you don't get a bad match up :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306225-plasma-obliterator-in-500-point-league/#findComment-4011870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
