SchultzChaos Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hello ladyfolk and gents! After having a random rage-fit the other day I finally knew what Legion I would play in the Heresy (and I've contemplated quite a while)! So I sat down and tinkered with things I already had and things I wanted to buy. But as I am I usually need feedback on thoughts - to spare me from some immature anxiety (I mean, I will invest some good money in to this!) - I would appreciate it something fierce to have some comments on my theoretical list! 3000pts Praetor, digital weapon, charnabal sabre, master-crafred paragon blade, iron halo 5 Red Butchers, extra power axes, two chain fists on Devoured, rides in Land Raider Phobos, ceremite plates, auxilary driver Contemptor with Lascannon 3 Apothacaries with artificer armour 20 Marines, ccw, bolters, bps, vexillia, sergeant with artificer armour and power weapon 20 Marines, ccw, bolters, bps, vexillia, sergeant with artificer armour and power weapon 20 Marines, ccw, bolters, bps, vexillia, sergeant with artificer armour and power weapon 10 Support Marines, volkite calviers, sergeant with artificer armour 5 Heavy Marines, missle launchers Sicaran, ceremite plates, auxilary driver and lascannons Sicaran Venator, ceremite plates, auxilary driver There is like 70-80pts still missing in the list.

Lord Asvaldir Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Are you running the berzerker assault rite of war? Given you already have 3 tactical squads you don't have to change anything about your list to run it, and hatred is a very nice bonus for your units to have. Overall I like your list, you have a nice balance of assault units that World Eaters really excel at backed up by some solid firepower. However, at 3k you're probably going to face a super heavy or primarch, and you don't have the best tools for dealing with that. The ventator helps for sure, but any super heavy on the field is going to prioritize destroying that so you can't force snap shots on it. I'd encourage you to either take a lord of war yourself, such as the typhoon which is relatively cheap or just take Angron and throw him in a spartan with a bunch of red butchers and watch him wreck almost anything. As for what you can afford to drop, I'd say the contemptor isn't that important, and you don't necessarily need the volkite squad, even though volkite is very nice to have.

God-Potato of Mankind Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yeah at 3k points I'd be afraid of facing something scary, you have a Venator which can definitely help but it will be vaporised with priority. Main question - do you know what you will be fighting, roughly? I'd say free up space for a LoW by dropping the volkites, missile launchers and maybe regular sicaran. You're also lacking anything to punch through heavy armour or TEQ. Red butchers and despoilers will devastate infantry, but against Legion Terminators; or Legion Specific Terminators, you will have a real rough time. A Spartan full of Firedrakes and Vulkan would really throw a cog in your plans. You're also lacking transport for your despoilers, which when combined with lack of TEQ/Heavy armour, will probably result in them being pieplated off the board. Forsee: A Typhon & whirlwhind scorpius. Your 60 despoilers have just become invalid :( You could also face a Warhound in a 3k list. It's unlikely though.

Lunar Centurion Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 You need transports. Especially at 3k. I'd recommend cutting the volkite squad, and maybe the missile launchers, and splitting up your tactical squads and throwing them in transports. Or take 19 each, put them in Spartans or storm eagles Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317054-varreks-19th-world-eater-company-first-heresy-list-3k/#findComment-4252888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangbanger Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Have to agree with the above. 3 large tac squads marching up sure looks good. But they won't make it to where they need too. Expect lots of templates that will take out those units no problem. Especially at 3k Oh and go Khârn over the preator, he is much better for a similar cost Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317054-varreks-19th-world-eater-company-first-heresy-list-3k/#findComment-4252892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchultzChaos Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Thanks for all the replies! If I should be honest then I would have to say that the list is just built around things I think look cool (and stuff I guess won't give me an autoloss if I get to the table). I wanted to start small with a 1500pts army, but had no idea how to fit stuff I really wanted into it - and therefore maxed it to 3k. I don't know yet what I would be facing, I have some friends that have shown real interest into starting with Heresy, but for now that's it. It took me ages just to set my mind on which Legion I wanted to play, as I like alot of them. What I do have right now is something like; 16-20 Marines with Bolters, ccw and boltpistols. A Praetor with Paragon Blade and a Fist Some heavy weapon Marines AND 3 Thallax 3 Myrmidon Secutors 2 Castellax Magos of different sorts (I reaaaally love the Mechanicum) So... It's just a great tangle at the moment... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317054-varreks-19th-world-eater-company-first-heresy-list-3k/#findComment-4253924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
