matrent89 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Would like people opinions and suggedtions on my War convocation 1850 list, the Ranger Alpha would be my warlord normally and fire the Obliterator giving it -1 cover and preferred enemy attach the Dominus to the Rangers to get rerolls on mysterious objectives with the Rangers relic.

jeffersonian000 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Seems pretty tight. I like that you fit in the Plasma Obliterator. SJ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318790-starting-an-war-convocation/#findComment-4292216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Before you build the alphas, remember that you won't use arc mauls in any non-convocation lists so those dudes are very list-specific. Two Icarus dunecrawlers is probably overkill.

matrent89 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 What do you recommend for th dune crawlers then? Neutron lasers? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318790-starting-an-war-convocation/#findComment-4292466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 If I am bringing a pair, then yes, Neutron lasers are the go-to. However, that would leave you without any serious anti-air except for the Icarus on the Knight. Unless your meta is super flyer heavy, a single Icarus Dunestrider can handle most air stuff, freeing you up to upgrade that Knight's autocannons to the missiles, and freeing up 90 points for more Destroyers or Dragoons. Alternatively, you can give the Dominus the cognis rainment, so now any units he joins snap fire with BS2 (and perhaps given a re-roll through canticles) so can usually do alright vs. flyers. I would make the Dominus the warlord because he is heartier than the Alpha, and also gives you an additional use of the canticles, which are clutch on Skitarii.

matrent89 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 The store I play at is highly competive, the guy who won Nova plays there, a lot of eldar and flying daemons so that's why I was leaning toward two icarus arrays Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318790-starting-an-war-convocation/#findComment-4292501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrent89 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Terminus from the way I read it the cult mechanicus battle congregation is what gives the re-use on the canticle. Also I was looking at the skitarii tactical objectives and I like them more than the cult mechanicus ones. But I will definitely try both as a warlord, I do like how robust the Dominus is.

Terminus Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yep, you're right, choosing him as warlord just gives you the re-roll on trait. Maybe make the plasma unit's alpha the warlord so you have preferred enemy plasma guns?

Dread0 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Maybe make the plasma unit's alpha the warlord so you have preferred enemy plasma guns? The War Con gets rid of the "gets hot" rule on any units from the formation so preferred enemy is less useful on this unit as you won't explode due to a bad roll. Don't get me wrong re-rolls on ones to hit and ones to wound (pretty much a guaranteed wound) is useful but it's something to bear in mind.
