Caillum Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Bit of a funky list idea here. Picked up the Limited Edition Centurion and thought he'd make a nice Siege Breaker, even if Night Lords aren't known for siege warfare. HQ Sevatar: Terror Assault Siege Breaker: artificer armour; power fist; melta bombs; refractor field; Trophies of Judgement 145 TROOPS 9 Terror Squad Executioners: 9× volkite charger; + 1 Headsman (artificer armour; power weapon; volkite charger; melta bombs) 275 9 Terror Squad Executioners: 9× volkite charger; + 1 Headsman (artificer armour; power weapon; volkite charger; melta bombs) 275 9 Terror Squad Executioners: 9× volkite charger; + 1 Headsman (artificer armour; power weapon; volkite charger; melta bombs) 275 ELITES Apothecarion Detachment • Apothecary: artificer armour 55 4 Terminators: 4× combi-weapon; 4× power weapon; Teleportation Transponder; + 1 Terminator Sergeant (combi-weapon; power weapon) 225 4 Terminators: 4× combi-weapon; 4× power weapon; Teleportation Transponder; + 1 Terminator Sergeant (combi-weapon; power weapon) 225 FAST ATTACK Storm Eagle Assault Gunship: 2 twin-linked lascannon; armoured ceramite; extra armour 280 HEAVY SUPPORT Artillery Tank Squadron • Medusa: Command Tank 180 • Medusa • Medusa FORTIFICATIONS Skyshield Landing Pad: Ready for Takeoff 80 2,500 points Sevatar, Siege Breaker and Apothecary join a Terror Squad in the Storm Eagle, which starts on the Skyshield. Other Terror Squads can Infiltrate or Outflank as necessary. Storm Eagle will belt forward in Hover mode to unload passengers for a Turn 2 Assault. Terminator units can Teleport in on Sevatar or the Siege Breaker, delivering a pile of combi-plasma! Medusas can hang out behind the Skyshield obliterating stuff from safety. Still have a Lord of War slot to expand into (Kurze & some Night Raptors would be a nice addition). Seems fun and a bit unorthodox. :) What do you think? EDIT: completely forgot - no Fortifications in Terror Assault. New list below doesn't have one anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Make sure the Siege Breaker has LoS of whatever you might want to shoot the Medusae if they're ever out or LoS to negate the downsides of Barrage. Other than that, It might work pretty nicely but be wary of anything getting into your backfield and dealing with your Artillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillum Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 I was just thinking that protecting the Medusae might be an issue. And yes, the Siege Breaker needing LoS is a very valid point - part of the reason I took him is because of the Nuncio-vox! Here's a different list using a Dreadclaw instead: HQ Sevatar: Terror Assault Siege Breaker: artificer armour; power fist; melta bombs; refractor field 140 TROOPS 6 Terror Squad Executioners: 6× volkite charger; + 1 Headsman (artificer armour; power weapon; volkite charger; melta bombs) 215 • Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod 100 9 Terror Squad Executioners: 9× volkite charger; + 1 Headsman (artificer armour; power weapon; volkite charger; melta bombs) 275 9 Terror Squad Executioners: 9× volkite charger; + 1 Headsman (artificer armour; power weapon; volkite charger; melta bombs) 275 ELITES Apothecary: artificer armour 55 9 Terminators: 9× combi-weapon; 9x power weapon; Teleportation Transponder; + 1 Terminator Sergeant (combi-weapon; power weapon) 410 Contemptor Mortis Dreadnought: 2 twin-linked autocannons 165 Contemptor Dreadnought: Kheres pattern assault cannon; chainfist 200 HEAVY SUPPORT 3 Medusae: Command Tank 490 2,500 points Combined the Terminators into a single squad to save points and a slot. With a normal Contemptor and a Mortis Contemptor, they can be some protection for the Medusae, plus some anti-air. And whilst I can take a normal Drop Pod, the Dreadclaw will have a 3+ cover save on the first turn, so it'll be more survivable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah this looks a lot better to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillum Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Any other thoughts or improvements? 3 Medusae is a bit of overkill, but they are awesome... With only 2, I would have to drop Command Tank too, giving me 180 points to play with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
