Schultzhoffen Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hi I'l love to be able to run a Legion list at 2000 points that could compete (in a non cheesy way) against 40K lists. A rough list of mine could be: HQ - Praetor - Paragon Blade, Iron Halo Command Squad x5- x3 Power Axes (in the Land raider) ELITE: Contemptor x2 CCW Mortis Contemptor -x2 Kheres Rapier Weapons Battery - x2 Laser, x1 Thudd. TROOPS: x10 Tactical Squad - Vexilla, Combi Melta, Rhino x10 Tactical Squad - Vexilla, Combi Melta, Rhino x10 Tactical Squad - Vexilla, Combi Melta, Rhino HEAVY SUPPORT: Land Raider Phobos -Armoured Ceramite. ALLIES: Mechanicum HQ - Magos (?) TROOPS: x2 Castellax Class Battle Automata This is probably not a very strong list but could it compete? I LOVE the look of a Praetor and Standard Bearing Command squad but could put them in a rhino which would free up a fair amount of points. I REALLY want the Battle Automata and at least one Dreadnought. Furthermore, I prefer the tac squads in rhino due to the simplification of movement on the board. Any thoughts or ideas?

Looks good but there is only one thing, i wouldnt split the loadout of the rapiers. Go for thudd guns all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Re: Rapiers/Thudd Guns I hear ya - I'm just worried about cracking armour. Thudd Guns have Sunder so at the very least you're getting to re-roll failed Armor Pen Rolls. With 12 Shots at 3 Thudd Guns, the odds are in your favor even when up against Av14.

Schultzhoffen Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 The only problem with thudd guns seems to be no Legion models (?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The only problem with thudd guns seems to be no Legion models (?). Solar Auxilia Thudd Guns and GW Thunderfire Cannons would tend to disagree pending an official FW SM Thudd Gun (which we know is coming) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schultzhoffen Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Any ETA on an official SM Legion Thudd Gun? I don't want to buy an Imperial one and a month later a Marine one appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ETA but it might be soon-ish since the vindicator in the back is already out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruor Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 They Have to release things slowly too make sure they get the most profitability and they need to have enough stock too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruor Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Regarding your list, it is very solid for friendly games, I do think you will have some problems with armour, you have the antiair/troop killer. I would maybe have a look at the ultramarine rules in the new book (if you play that legion) as i think it may benifit your other contemptors. Castelaxes are good units, how many you taking?
