Plasma-freak Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 HQ Praetor - made from the termi character from Betrayal at Calth: 227 Cataphractii Armour, Chainfist, Combi-plasma Iron Father,Cyber-familiar, Digital Laser -Head of the Gorgon Troops: Tac squad 210 Arti armour, power fist, rhino Tac squad 210 Arti armour, power fist, rhino Tac squad 210 Arti armour, power fist, rhino Elites: Quad mortar: 60 Terminator squad: 248 Cataphractii, 4x power fists, 1 chainfist, 4x combi-plasmas, reaper autocannon Heavy support: Whirlwind Scorpius: 115 Sicaran Venator: 210 Heavy bolters Total: 1490pts Mainly made from the Betrayal at Calth box. It doesn't take full advantage of the RoW, but it should work well at these points levels. If a Spartan turns up I don't have much to hurt it with except the Venator. I'll get some more Rapiers at some point, but I just have the one right now. My opponent is bringing Night lords and I'm pretty sure he doesn't have any proper tanks but does like to bring a Contemptor dred. Any input is appreciated.

xxunphasedxx Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Don't bother with the heavy bolters on the Venator, its ordnance so they only snap fire. If you can swap around some points, Vexilla's may be worth it if your going against night lords as they have a lot of Ld modifiers. Its kinda list tailoring but hey, after what they did to us on Istvann V, they deserve it. Also, look for a sicaran battle tank with Orth once you have finished this list as he can work wonders against everything. Other than that and increasing the Quad Mortors (you already mentioned it) the list looks like it could be good. I can see you don't have a way of getting your Termies around so they may need to sit on a objective on your side and protect the whirlwind until you can get some armoured transport. Good luck brother, and avenge the Xth. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316118-iron-hands-1500pts/#findComment-4226573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasma-freak Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 The Idea of the Heavy Bolters is to fire the At gun OR the bolters depending on what I have to shoot. The Vexillas are a good shout. I usually play Death Guard who are immune to Fear, so that's certainly worth thinking about.

Trydragon Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The list looks good IMO, But I would Drop the HB on the Venator and Add Vox's too your Tact Squads that way you can sit your Scopius out of sight and hopefully get more use out of it.

Plasma-freak Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 OK, Guys. I have to jump this up to 2k for a game on Wednesday. I'll be playing with another player with Mechanicum against 3 players with Night Lords, Word Bearers and Iron Warriors. I know the Iron Warriors player is bringing a Typhon. I'm not sure what to get to beef this up with. Any input would be appreciated.

Slips Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Aw Crap a Typhon at 2k? Get another Sicaran venator at the least. Shoot it at it and "stun lock" it with its ability to Force Super-heavies to snap shot. Since they'll be prime targets.

Memento Of Prospero Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Melta bombs are a must on tactical sergeants, power fists dont handle contemtors that well. Perhaps swap to a power axe more attacks and save the points for the melta. A transport for your termis would be a must. Swap them for gorgons (pimp out the cataphractii from the starter) with a grav gun and grab the grav gauntlet for the Praetor. That will givr you up to 4 hull points on drop against the Typhon.
