All BA, all the way. 1850 Tournament

Recommended Posts

I actually rather like it.  I've always loved the idea of Drop Podding devastators and actually advocated the use of Drop Podding Multi-Melta Devastator squads way before Skyhammer so I love the whole idea of it.  I currently have 2 Devastator squads and 2 Drop Pods, and would actually field it if I ended up getting 2 ASM at some point..  The thing is, it's so goddamn OP that the idea kind of makes me feel dirty.

 

Otherwise, great list.  I wouldn't have gone with the same Devastator weapon choices, though.  My preference would have been 4x Plasma Cannons and 4x Multi-Melta.

How do you rule Wraithknight with a toe in cover? Do they still get 4+ in ruins when touching the base? I think the list will have huge problems against battle company and khorne daemonkin especially. Skyhammer is really nice, but can be easy to counter as they are very squishy per point, the pinning is nice when you get to use it. I'd personally just go with a red battle company, but i'm kinda biased since thats the list i'm practicing for our Norwegian championship in January (a red DA battle company). Any idea what the missions are yet?

 

Edit: I'd just go with a poweraxe or meltaboms on the ASM squads. I dont think the evisc is worth it.  Btw it seems your list has no BA troops, is one of the ASM meant to be a tactical?

Let us know how the play test goes with the "old" list. It's quite possible he's not following this thread so you may thrown him off the scent by doing so ;)

Btw, last weekend I charged a Wraithknight with my FLD without Force up and knocked off three wounds. In return it knocked off 1 HP and then stomped me... So you need both Quickening and Force for the FLD, whilst Mephiston needs Sword, Force and Quickening 0.o Obvious yes, but it needs stating to show how tricky it is to down three of them dry.png

WKs will likely get the "toe-in" rule.  

I really want to keep to BA theme.  If worse comes to worst i'll consider whipping out the DA again :P (the prize support is phenomenal, and its ranked). 

But, ya....will see how goes!

I need the grav for the WKs though!

What is an FLD? Flying Librarian Dreadnougt?

I will an blood angely painted skyhammer. With 2mm 2 grav and the other with 4 ML or 2 ML 2 LasCa and combat squadding each team.

The weaponchoices are limited to this and plas,a cannons. But i´m no big fan of plasma blasts. (could field max 3 x plasma).

I do like Loth! And have used him in my cheesy beard challenge army (where I was asked to play my version of a cent-star).  Not really my vibe, and dont like relying on invisy too much! 

 

 

Latest reworking thanks to all here is this:

 

 

Chaplain - auspex, veritas

Librarian Dread - MG, Magna, Lvl1

 

5x TAC - HF

 1 x Razor -las/plas

5x TAC - HF

 1 x Razor -las/plas
5x SCT - Rifles

 

Scorpius - ignore cover
Sicaran

Raven - Extra Armour

 

SKYHAMMER (UM Tactics)

 

5x ASM - Vet, Maul, MB
5x ASM - Maul, MB

10x DEV - 2x GravCan, 2x MM  (these will CS every turn)
1x Pod
5x DEV - 3x GravCan   (Chap likely to go here if i need auspex)
1x Pod

 

Unless you're using the Scouts as objective grabbers in the Raven (for which role CC weaponry would be better) I would suggest ditching them altogether in favor of upping the second Devastator squad to 10 bodies and combat squadding them into two squads of 2 Grav Cannons, or maybe even turning them into 2xGC 2xMM as well.

They'll be camping at the back in cover providing a little cover fire. 

 

I'm not against that idea entirely, though, the suggestion you have requires me finding an additional 20 points.
