Khârn & Argel Tal Bromance List 3k

[Caillum]

Hey everyone! Need a bit of help coming up with a list. As the title says, Khârn & Argel Tal in an allied force. The whole Armatura assault in Betrayer was very cool! Obviously Argel Tal has no rules, but I figure the Dark Martyr from the Gal Vorbak will suit well enough (probably equipped with a power fist).

 

The idea has some serious difficulties. I think anything less than 3k will be impossible to pull off. Also, World Eaters and Word Bearers are "Distrusted Allies" (for some reason), so the Ally will have non-scoring Troops. I'd like to use "Berserker Assault", but they can't take allies, so that's out too.

 

Likely using the World Eaters as the Primary Detachment, using Orbital Assault:

- Khârn, Tactical blob & Apothecary in a Kharybdis,

- 2nd Tactical Squad in a normal Drop Pod,

- couple of dual graviton Contemptors in Dreadnought Drop Pods,

- maybe jump pack Destroyers would be cool, as they had a strong presence.

 

Word Bearers as Allies.

- Diabolist of some kind as the Compulsory HQ,

- Dark Channeling on the Compulsory Troops, possibly negating the non-scoring issue,

- 10-man squad of Gal Vorbak in a Spartan?

 

What do you guys and girls think?

Just remember the World Eater maxim in 30k: "They can't claim objectives if they're dead."

 

In seriousness though, it looks like a pretty good base to build on. The Gal Vorbak are awesome and any way to grab psyker dice is nice since they are so rare in the 30k world. You might have a few issues with Interceptor fire on your pod squads, so be sure to target them effectively.

 

A destroyer squad with jumppacks is pretyy darn expensive for what they do, so if I may suggest a fluffly alternative. Give the legion seeker squad a look. They're pretty badass, can each take a combi-weapon and with orbital assault they can grab a pod which makes them magically awesome for decapitation strikes. Pod in, rip off 20 plasma combo-shots into some poor, unlucky bastard command squad, expensive terminators or even a primarch (that isn't Vulkan).
