DietOfLiquor Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 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.

Slips Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 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.

DietOfLiquor Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 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.

DietOfLiquor Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 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. +++ ImperialSG (3000pts) +++ ++ Legiones Astartes: Crusade Army List (Age of Darkness) ++ + HQ + Legion Centurion [Artificer Armour, Refractor Field, Solarite Power Gauntlet] ····Consul [Primus Medicae] Legion Praetor [Artificer Armour, Digital Lasers, Indomitan Mantle, Iron Halo, Mastercraft a Single Weapon, Paragon Blade, Power Weapon] ····Legion Command Squad [2x Combat Shield, 2x Legion Space Marine Chosen, Legion Standard Bearer, Plasma Pistol, Power Fist, 2x Power Weapon] ····Master of the Legion [The Stone Gauntlet] + Troops + Phalanx Warder Squad [Legion Vexilla, 9x Phalanx Warder, 2x Plasma gun, 5x Power Axe] ····Veteran Sergeant [Artificer Armour, Power Fist] Phalanx Warder Squad [Legion Vexilla, 9x Phalanx Warder, 2x Plasma gun, 5x Power Axe] ····Veteran Sergeant [Artificer Armour, Power Fist] + Fast Attack + Legion Jetbike Sky Hunter Squadron [Melta Bombs, 6x Space Marine Sky Hunters, 2x Volkite Culverin] ····Sky Hunter Sergeant [Power Weapon] + Heavy Support + Legion Land Raider Battle Squadron [Command Tank] ····Land Raider Phobos [Armoured Ceramite] ····Land Raider Phobos [Armoured Ceramite] ····Land Raider Phobos [Armoured Ceramite] + Legion + Legion Astartes [VII: Imperial Fists] + Lord of War + Legion Fellblade [Armoured Ceramite, Space Marine Legion Crew] Created with BattleScribe (http://www.battlescribe.net) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313239-armored-fists/#findComment-4163035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 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.

DietOfLiquor Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yah, it's meant to be a semi-fluffy list, otherwise I would have just gone terminator command squad and all with storm shields.... which I might do on the side. But this is sufficient for what I want! Thanks again Slipstreams!

Captain Taelos Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 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?

Captain Taelos Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Haha, yes, I meant combat Shields don't give you the toughness bonus! Silly me. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313239-armored-fists/#findComment-4166462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DietOfLiquor Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 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.
