Duke Danse Macabre Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Well still finishing off the Battle Reports from "kings of the North" but looks like I have "Durham Dakka" on the 22nd of August for 1500 points and "Teeside Smackdown" on the 25th of July just before for 1850. Now looking at both these tournaments there was a mini one I missed where the player who won Kings won as well, at kings i fought him to a draw and did not have turn 5 in which I should of beat his Necron Spider Pylon force with Eldar Daemon Summoning, however him and his friend Immediatly went to eldar once the new codex hit... yes they are those kind of players. Now in the 24 Entries I can see 7 Eldar Tournament players and 5 Space Wolf Tournamnet Players... Yes fun is to be had... (Space Wolves players tend to take drop Podding Centurions with a Librarian) So going from that I am trying to work out a hard counter to Wraith Knights as i expect to see 2 in every force due to the formation. This is where you come in, I am happy to take allies but only from the following: Black Templars Death Watch (Would Use BA Rules) Inquisition Assassins Knights Consider nothing in those forces off Limits. Now what do people think I should take to counter these cheese mongers?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 2x Adepta Sororitas CAD with Jacobus and Celestine HQs, flamer BSS in transports, backed up with triple melta-minion and exorcist spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 I was considering Jacobus and Repentia in a Black Templar or Death Watch Storm Raven. Trying to remember if i can take Bikes in Drop Pods as Bulky if I can use Fast attack. Grav works allot better than melta on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Jacobus: 10 Sisters Repentia: Mistress of Repentence 5 Sisters of Battle: Combi Plasma Heavy Flamer Melta Gun Immolator: Twin Linked Multi Melta 5 Sisters of Battle: Combi Plasma Heavy Flamer Melta Gun Immolator: Twin Linked Multi Melta Exorcist: Exorcist Missile Launcher Storm Bolter Exorcist: Exorcist Missile Launcher Storm Bolter Storm Raven: Twin Linked Assault Cannons Twin Linked Multi Melta Storm Strike Missiles Death Watch Librarian Combi Grav 5 Man Death Watch Squad: Combi Grav Melta Gun Drop Pod: Storm Bolter 5 Man Death Watch Squad: Combi Grav Melta Gun Drop Pod: Storm Bolter Total is 1340 so far but I am not yet amazed. I still Have the option of a Fast Attack Drop Pod and Inquisitors. Considering a Command tank for Reserves as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I know Repentia will tear an Imperial knight to shreds, but are they really that effective against the xenos MC ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 I know Repentia will tear an Imperial knight to shreds, but are they really that effective against the xenos MC ones? Thats what I am unsure on. At most though it will get 5 attacks, assuming it kills 4 I will get 24 attacks, 18 Should hit but only 3 would wound before invuns and FNP. This is my concern. Also looking at other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naminé Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I know Repentia will tear an Imperial knight to shreds, but are they really that effective against the xenos MC ones? Melee speaking they are one of our best counters to a Wraithknight... though slightly behind a Sisters blob squad deathstar. Remeber it has stomp now, occuring at the same I step as the Repentia... Also bikes can't use transports because they are not infantry :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Stomps ruin blobs I find. I know but even if it goes at the same time they will get to mace it. Bikes count as bulky, they have no dedicated transports but you can still put them in certain things I believe. but no, I just need a hard counter it seems and gun lines/ drop pods are the only things i can see that could work atm.

sedibear Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 If it was up to me, Conversion Beamer Xenos Inquisitors and ALL THE JOKAEROS. Not many things can stand the 36 lascannons to the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sume Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 How about the repentia with jacobos riding in a storm raven? Ya the new eldar codex and knight codex ruined my interest some in 40k again. Thankfully my local area is only allowing 1 lord of war choice, after someone brought 5 knights to a tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was this about it but they would not stand a chance against it. I am curious though it mat be a once LOW tournament but there is a formation which allows another and I am unsure if he would count towards this.

Spacefrisian Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Formation or not, if it says 1 LoW than you cant bring 2, seems logical to me btw. But if you want some ant Imperial Knight stuff you might want to check on Forgeworlds new Vindicator variant and ally with Black Templars. And since LoW are allowed they should come with the same ol' excuse of FW is OP. Deimos Vindicator if iam not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Other Tournaments have Gotten Around it like that in the past by using formations because he is not listed as a LOW and does not stop you taking one regularly also. Not to keen on the new Vindicator to be honest. I am currently looking at the following: Cannoness Eviserator Exorcist Exorcist Missile Launcher Exorcist Exorcist Missile Launcher Avenger Strike Fighter Avenger Gatling Cannon Two Lascannons Heavy Stubber 5 Sisters of Battle: Combi Plasma Heavy Flamer Melta Gun Immolator: Twin Linked Multi Melta 5 Sisters of Battle: Combi Plasma Heavy Flamer Melta Gun Immolator: Twin Linked Multi Melta Cortez Deathwatch Librarian 5 Deathwatch Combi Melta Melta Gun Drop Pod Storm Bolter 5 Deathwatch Sternguard 5 Combi Grav Drop Pod Storm Bolter 10 Deathwatch Devastators 4 Lascannons Now looking at this I have less troops than I like but I have rerolls to hit, allot of anti armour, A dev squad with Cortez to help with drop podding Enemies and a pair of my own to deal with Wraith Knights. I think at 1500 this may work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
