Slips Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Honestly, I'd drop the Spartan Star in favor of more Toys & Boys. Go for a Jetbike Preator with Iron Halo, Photonic Blade and a few more doodads and he's essentially in Cata TDA without S&P, +1T, Furious Charge (if you choose this over Stubborn until you get LA:BA in Book 6) and on a Jetbike. Make the 5 Man TDA unit a Jetbike Command Squad with Combat Shields. You've now for a 6" fearless bubble to boot. And they can take Melta Bombs if needed. Depending on the # of men in the Jetbike unit it should come to roughly the same cost as the 6man TDA unit except now you'd have ~340 Points to spend on more stuff. You could then spend ~150 on a Jetbike Consul (Primus or Forgelord would be my picks) with a Void Shield Harness to give the Jetbike command squad an Av12 Ablative Bubble. +++ Alternatively, you could do the same but with Jump Packs and a JP Vigilator to give the unit scout and gain an extra 12" movement. A little bit more vulnerable but potentially better poised to do their job due to the redeployment. Extra Points you'd save by not investing ~800 points into a single 6 man TDA unit and a Tank would be to add the Ubiquitous Thudd Guns and/or another Tac Squad. Thats just my 2c on the topic. 1850 and running a Star Unit that isnt a 40k Deathstar isnt the best use of points because 40kCheese. You could also slot in a Nanyte Blaster Somewhere in the list for hilarity vs Anything without an AV.

m0nolith Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks for the response. The spartan is pretty much and auto-include for me, so whatever list I make HAS to include it + the flare shields. The AC I might drop tho.

m0nolith Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Fair enough. Let me ask you this, what if I dropped the catapractii and the dread, and instead made them a 20 man despoiler squad + an apothecary with AA? Natrually the praetor would wear AA + iron halo at that point, but id also have points left to give him digital lasers and make the photonic blade master crafted, and give all the squads melta bombs. Also, this would make this force and Onslaught force, so there's that. It would look something like this: Praetor w/ AA, Iron Halo, Photonic Blade relic, Digital Lasers, Master Crafted 10 man Tac Squad w/ vexilla, AA, melta bomb, rhino 10 man Tac Squad w/ vexilla, AA, melta bomb, rhino 20 man Despoiler Squad w/ vexilla, AA, melta bomb, Power Fist Apothecary w/ AA Sicaran w/ lascannons Sicaran w/ lascannons Sicaran Venator Spartan w/ flare shields, armoured ceramite Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315904-1850-ba-tournament-list/#findComment-4224514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
