Armored Fists

I'm revolving a list around mr rahn as my praetor using the SG RoW. Jetbikes hide within the armored spear head of land raiders and go in and charge when ready to pop heavy duty armor. Seems fun and I want to start building towards it.

Few problems. Even under Stone Gauntlet, Phalanx Warders are only non-compulsory troops. Unless youve asked your gaming buddies and theyre ok with it.

 

For Rann, the mantle only gives an invulnerable vs Melta weapons. Hed still need an Iron Halo for a 4++

 

If you can, make one of those LRs a command tank for another redundancy bubble for Morale and stuff.

Ahhh. Missed that part about the mantle. And they're okay with it. I prefer them over breachers as is. Hahah.

Trust me, I came to the same Agreement with my own buddies for the warders :p

 

Other than that, the only thing you need to watch out for is the Low Model Count of the Army.

Hahah. Thanks! Here's the fixed version. And I know. I just thought its fluffy and fun looking. Easily interchangeable over time if I decide to do sigismund and three squads of brethren and sprinkle other goodies in if I were to drop the fell blade.

Looks like a pretty fun list to play!
Just got a couple of comments:

 

 - I would consider changing the Praetor to Alexis Polux, he really does suit a Stone Gauntlet list and his drawback (no Deep Strike) wouldnt impact you.

 - If keeping the Praetor, why arming him with both a Paragon Blade and a Power Weapon? I would drop the Power Weapon and Iron Halo and give him a Storm Shield so that if he is with the Warders he becomes T5.

 - Drop the Refractor field on the Primus Medicae and give him a Storm Shield as well

 

Of course that is only because I think the IF access to the Storm Shields combined with the Stone Gauntlet is awesome and should be leveraged as much as possible.

 

The only other thing is be careful with the Warders, being only ten men with no Apothecary and five of them swinging at Ini1 they are quite vulnerable to Power Weapons, even other Power Axes or Power Fists will be doing tit for tat damage which is not something you want with such an expensive unit.

He'll need to take Terminator armour on theose characters to get Storm Shields, won't he?

 

Yes, the Characters would need TDA to be able to equip a Storm Shield. Polux is the exception in that he has one in Power Armor.

 

Also, OP Wanted to run Fafnir Rann instead of Siggy or Polux hence the Preator.

I like it! I'm considering something similar involving Breachers. Two points:

 

Phalanx Warders can take Land Raiders as dedicated transports. As it stands at the moment, it appears your Land Raiders are a squadron, meaning they'd have to stick together. It would be more flexible to take them as individual tanks or some as dedicated transports so that they can split up if need be. You would lose the command tank, which you may prefer to keep, but up to you!

 

Boarding shields don't give the +1 to toughness in Gauntlet of Stone, only Storm and Boarding Shields. You may be aware of that and not care (and be including them for fluff/aesthetic reasons), but thought I ought to point it out just in case.

Not sure which one you typo'd, but yeah Boarding Shields do give you the +1 Toughness bonus for Stone Gauntlet. Did you mean Combat Shields?

Yah. It's just a fluffy list. I was going to run them in a spear head anyways around the fell blade (which I've just changed around for a falchion). I'm still tlying with the idea of just going all terminators, praetor in terminator armor, PM in terminator armor and command squad in terminator armor, all with shields for the bonus and skip out on the fluff side and make my own new character. They can all take Phobos land raiders as dedicated transports. I just liked the idea of a spearhead with centralized deployment giving me room to move around as I see fit.

Also tossing in a tech marine with rad grenades for some giggles.
