Recommended Posts

So I got into 40k a few months ago, and then I found out about 30k an  loved the idea so I picked up a Mhara Gal,  a squad of Gal Vorbak and Erebus and Kor Phaeron. Then they announced Betrayal at Calth and now Im a die hard fan.  After I pick up my Box, this is the list im going to be running. Any ideas on how to fill in the extra 200+ points? and any suggestions on the list Ive already picked up would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

You wrote 25k in the title, a little typo ;)

 

I think you have too many points tied in HQs, and need some anti armour options.

 

some predators, a sicaran or rapiers could solve that problem. Maybe even a superheavy or some knights ;)

Second what Wolf Pack mentioned, especially considering Erebus has master of the Legion and fills the chaplain requirement for Word Bearers, you really don't need the diabolist.

 

I also think you're list is going to really struggle given all your units are footslogging. You've got all those little squads that will be picked off easily and the sludge forward, and taking 3 tactical squads in particular really lessens your killing power. However, if you're not a fan of transports, then I'd recommend bigger units. Take 2 blobs of 20 tacticals with an apothecary and ccws, something Word Bearers do fairly well considering you've got  diabolist to buff one squad, and Erebus the other. Your assault units however really badly need a transport, I'd recommend a raider for the gal vorbak and terminators. 

I'm not apposed to the idea of transports, so a raider or 2 probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I don't really want to get any knights at the moment, but I probably will in the future. Apothecaries are a top priority for me right now. I want to obtain 4 and have 4 squads of 20 Tactical (even though I prefer assault squads, they're just so darn expensive $$). I was also considering a Kharybsis drop pod to DS a 10 man Gal Vorbak squad or even the Mhara Gal. so my next purchase will probably be the raider.
