Soulshade Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 So first the list. HQ[110]Lord Marshall - Cyber familiar, Iron Halo, Grav Wave gen[55]Tank CommanderTroops[350]Auxilia Infatry Tercio - 20 Lasrifles, 10 Volkite Chargers, Dracosian transport - TL Lascannon[350]Auxilia Infatry Tercio - 20 Lasrifles, 10 Volkite Chargers, Dracosian transport - TL LascannonElite[350]6 Ogryn[120]2x Quad Mortar RapierFast[135]Lightning Strike Fighter[200]Thunderbolt Heavy FighterHeavy[290]Malcador - Chem ammoLord of War[540]Stormlord - 1x pair of sponson Bolter and Lascannons Now the tictacs Tank commander is in the Stormlord, probably rolling with preferred enemy (infantry). The Stormlord also has all 6 Ogryns and the Lord Marshal riding inside. Depending on the opponent (are they shootier then me?), this could all be scouting. Otherwise this drops dead center with a Dracosian on either side. I hope people try charge this. The Dracosians have the 10 Volkite guys in. Its a drop and fire unit. They may die a death but its a lot of shooting first. Malcador goes up a flank and torrents the world with its AP2 18inch range helstorm template. The flyers are my anti tank weapon platorms. And while they could get lucky and kill a Spartan, Im mostly ignoring anything thats AV14 or a superheavy apart from pot shots with the odd lascannon from the Dracs and Stormlord. And thats the downside to the list, and where I need input. The list murders infantry. Heavy tanks, Ill struggle against. Now Ive a few options. Drop the Stormlord and the unit thats in it for a Baneblade variant with more ranged punch. Drop the Macador and something else for a few Leman Rus tanks or something similar. Thoughts guys?

noigrim Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Put tank hunter on the stormlord, 30 anti tank shots at S6 per turn plus bolters, enough to reduce a fellblade to scrap in two turns. At least that's what I'm gonna do. You could also swap the extra sponsons for the targeting upgrade for a BS of 5 (4 tank commander+1) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307814-2500-solar-auxilia/#findComment-4048200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'd drop the tbolt for another lightning and load both up with kraken penetrators for antispartan/heavy tank love. I love a storm lord and would pack as many ogryn in there as you can. Wondering about the quad rapiers and their place in your list. They cannot keep up with your list and think they take up too many spaces to fit in the storm lord? Maybe drop them for more ogryn- if the storm lord does get charged your lord plus a bunch of ogryn would have a great chance of handing down a butt whooping. Stay away from named characters or primarchs of course Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307814-2500-solar-auxilia/#findComment-4050803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
