Landrick Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Brothers, If you are like me you are very excited about Betrayal at Calth. Then I stopped and thought Wait.. what the heck am I going to do with 3 tactical squads, 5 termies, and a contemptor with limited options?? I want breachers, transports, and all the FW goodies!! I want to pick up just one box to start an army and keep costs down, so I thought I would start a thread to brainstorm this: What army will you make with the box (or 2) with limited additions? I was inspired by Paul Murphy's article on BOLS: (i can't seem to link it, so if someone wanted to please feel free) Basicallly he is scooping up 3rd party jump packs to make Reavers out of the marines To be clear, I don't want this to be a "Help me pick a legion" or anything like that, but a thread for us to discuss the possibilities this box presents for all the legions, and for new players and veterans alike, without adding more extra expense to the box. I will start: Ultramarines Legion Legion Praetor w/ Cataphractii Armor and Paragon Blade -Pride of the Legion Rite of War 5 Cataphractii Terminators 3x 10 Legion Veteran Tacticals 1 Contemptor Dread Add specials and upgrades to taste Comes into about 1105 pts before more upgrades and makes a solid start for the kind of UM army I want.

Black Cohort Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I am doing Slamanders Pride of the legion initial 1500 point list is something like PraetorParagon bladeterminator 155 Elites Contemptorassault cannon 190 Troops 10 Vet Tactical Sniper Artificer armourpower weapon2 Heavy flamer 250 10 Vet TacticalsniperArtificer armourpower weapon2 Heay bolters 260 10 Vet Tacticalfurious chargeArtificer armourpower weaponmelta bombs2 meltaguns 275 Cataphractii TerminatorschainfistDragonscale storm shieldHeavy flamer 200 Heavy supportPyroclastspower weapon 170 This only requires some conversion work and a pyroclast kit. Expansion will probably be transports, firedrakes, heavy weapons and tactical support squads. Then Forgelord and some Castellax.

ThatOneMarshal Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 What I'll do with the box depends entirely on the legion I'm doing. At the moment I'm going with Night Lords though with my hobby ADHD I'll be with another legion by the end of the week. A word of the wise is if you can 2 boxes are really beneficial. 60 tactical marines can be used for quote a few things.

RandomMarine Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm gonna use it to make 2x 15 tac squads , the cataphractii are bulking out a existing squads , contemptor goes in a talon. Terminator predator is going to be a primus Medicae and the chaplain is going with my breacher or immortal squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315697-starting-an-army-with-betrayl-at-calth/#findComment-4217548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
