Frostmourne Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Been thinking alot, And i like the Templar Brethren idea, and will probably look better on the Table. So with that little force, 600 point ish of SkitarriAnd a Knight for 2500, i think thats a pretty badass force.

Slips Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I guess the Apothecaries are a taste thing. To me, ever since I read their Fluff Entries I was all like "OMG I NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A TON OF THESE!" and I do. I currently have like 6 Apothecary models. :p ...And then I found out I couldn't in 40k. Then I got into 30k. APOTHECARIES GALORE! boy was I happy! Especially the Primus Medicae. SO salty that hes a Support Officer now Now, the following is just a General Impression of what I think would be good things to consider after having watched a few games of Skitarii (using pretty much every unit available in the codex) vs Comp. Lists Such as 3 Flying Hive Tyrants + Barbed Heirodule. I will say, if you want more into on how to build an effective 600 Point Skitarii list, go ask the Guys and Gals in the Admech Sub. To start with: a bit of a suggestion for your Skitarii: Have at least 2 Onagers equipped with the Icarus Array and the Claw if you can spare it. They make for pretty strong AA and boost each others invulnerable save due to being in the same Squad. The Claw gives them IWND and S10 if they ever get stuck in combat. Other than that, 2-3 Dragoons are decent CC Backup units or to tie something nasty up for a bit with a decent chance of dealing good damage. They look fragile on paper but their Base 5+ Cover save and +3" to Move, Run and Charge distances make them a lot faster than one would normally think. For what your going with, a unit of Rangers might suit you better than Rangers with their Increased Range. How many Points are you reserving for your Knight? if its under 400, the Castigator gives you the most Bang for your Buck at 380. If you can scrounge up ~400 a Styrix would be a nice addition if only for its Volkite Cheiroville. For a more serious 400+ point Knight, take the Acheron. S:D Chainfist that re-rolls 1s on the D Chart and an Ap3 Hellstorm Flamer on a chassis that can run 3D6 makes for a potent combo. Its secondary gun is also a Heavy Bolter so you can charge another target than the one your Torch.
