Slips Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm going to endeavor to make this a reality. Its going to take a while but, hell, why not try? A lot more expensive points-wise than I initially thought LOL +++ Salamander (4990pts) +++++ Legiones Astartes: Crusade Army List (Age of Darkness) (4990pts) +++ HQ (490pts) +Cassian Dracos (275pts)Lord Chaplain Nomus Rhy'tan (215pts)····Master of the Legion [The Covenant of Fire]+ Troops (1105pts) +Legion Tactical Squad (175pts) [9x Legion Tactical Space Marines]····Legion Tactical Sergeant [Artificer Armour, Power Fist]Legion Tactical Squad (175pts) [9x Legion Tactical Space Marines]····Legion Tactical Sergeant [Artificer Armour, Power Fist]Legion Tactical Squad (175pts) [9x Legion Tactical Space Marines]····Legion Tactical Sergeant [Artificer Armour, Power Fist]Pyroclast Squad (580pts) [Melta Bombs, 9x Pyroclast]····Land Raider Proteus [Armoured Ceramite, Auxiliary Drive, Multi-melta]····Pyroclast Warden [Artificer Weapons, Power Fist]+ Elites (2475pts) +Contemptor Dreadnought Talon (630pts) ArtilleryNaughts····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Heavy Conversion Beamer]····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Heavy Conversion Beamer]····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Heavy Conversion Beamer]Contemptor Dreadnought Talon (645pts) TankBusterNaughts····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Chainfist with inbuilt twin-linked Bolter, Kheres Pattern Assault Cannon, Melta Gun]····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Chainfist with inbuilt twin-linked Bolter, Kheres Pattern Assault Cannon, Melta Gun]····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Chainfist with inbuilt twin-linked Bolter, Kheres Pattern Assault Cannon, Melta Gun]Contemptor Dreadnought Talon (585pts) TroopNaughts····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Heavy Flamer, Volkite Culverin]····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Heavy Flamer, Volkite Culverin]····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Heavy Flamer, Volkite Culverin]Contemptor Dreadnought Talon (615pts) HeavyTroopNaughts····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Plasma Blaster, Plasma Cannon]····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Plasma Blaster, Plasma Cannon]····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Plasma Blaster, Plasma Cannon]+ Fast Attack (260pts) +Legion Jetbike Sky Hunter Squadron (260pts) [6x Space Marine Sky Hunters, 2x Volkite Culverin, 4x Heavy Flamers]+ Heavy Support (660pts) +Deredeo Pattern Dreadnought (220pts) [Aiolos Missile Launcher, Twin-linked Heavy Flamer]Deredeo Pattern Dreadnought (220pts) [Aiolos Missile Launcher, Twin-linked Heavy Flamer]Deredeo Pattern Dreadnought (220pts) [Aiolos Missile Launcher, Twin-linked Heavy Flamer]+ Legion +Legion Astartes [XVIII: Salamanders] I decided to specialize the Dreadnoughts. Their Loadouts are by no means final (I was going to take an HQ Dread Talon but they weren't Contemptors. Pass!) But I thought giving them clear roles would be a good idea even though, with the amount of Contemptors on the field, I could field almost 1 of everything if I so desired. Heavy Flamers on the Deredeos are there more as deterrent than anything. On the bikes? Rule of Cool! Sure, Covenant of Fire's buff to vehicles (5++ vs Melta, Flamer, Volkite, Plasma and Melta Bombs) is kinda redundant since all the Dreads already have a 5/6++ but, hey, it might come into play, right? Cassian Dracos, for his points cost, is pretty Baller. Being Immune to Melta, Armorbane, Sunder Lance and anything else that Reduce (permanently or otherwise) his AV Value or roll an extra dice on Armor Pens (Ordnance) is pretty silly-good especially on an AV 14 Dreadnought.

Slips Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 You will need rhinos for those tacticals ;) Will have to find somewhere to strip 105ish points for them.

ak1508 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Wait a minute... you mean to tell me, that YOU have a 5000 point list and you ain't got a Primarch or a super-heavy tank in there? O c'mon maaan! You gotta have either one of those (if you're doing a standard list). Can try to fit in a Glaive or a Stormblade or something. Well, if not superheavies, then at least consider that Salamanders without Vulkan, just arent really Salamanders imho otherwise - I love the amount of Dreads that are in there, that would look magic on the table when painted and weathered!

Slips Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 The point is More Dreads less "anything else". No point in cutting out an entire Dread Talon for a Single Glaive as much as I love them. Besides, its a Side Project. The Glaive is for my Imperial Fists! As much as I like Vulkan, The best way to field him currently is with a Firedrake Guard and a Transport that can fit them all. That usually means a Spartan and that equates to an 800 Point Squad. I'd prefer to have more Dreads.

Carlson793 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Besides, though we don't have Lore for it, this is a very fluffy Salamanders themed army. Dropsite Massacre is in the (not so distant) past. Nomus Rhy'tan, charged by Vulkan with remaining behind on Nocturne to tend to new recruits, and being the 'Keeper of Keys', in charge of waking the Legion's Brothers interred in Dreadnought armour, has managed to return to Isstvan V to recover the remains of Cassian Vaughn and, as importantly, the Iron Dragon Dreadnought he piloted, that another Fireborn may take Vulkan's creation into the field once more... Besides, you think after the hell of Isstvan, the XVIIIth had any active Super Heavies? Maybe some being repaired on Nocturne, but the active ones became just another fish in the Traitor's Urgall Depression barrel.

ak1508 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Oh by all means, I was just a little surprised ;) but I guess that many dreads would be pretty crazy still.

Get the Volkite Culverin from FW, and 3 Plasma Cannon arms. Cut off the Actual Plasma Cannon right behind the coils and Slap 1-2 Culverins in there. Done. Not the Cheapest but should look relatively convincing. ...still wondering why they havent released a Culverin Arm yet...

Hyaenidae Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 You had me at Cassian Dracos. He has to be the most underrated commander in the Heresy lists. I like. EDIT: As for a need for a Primarch in this list, hell no. It's Cassian Dracos, dang it! He was running the whole XVIII Legion and exterminating Xenos worlds while his Pops was still running around, smacking lizards in the heads with mallets. The Iron Dragon is king.
