Nusquam Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 You're missing out on the Cortus' full melee capabilities without taking a DCCW. But at the same time that huge discount helps for upgrades. I would definitely get reaper ACs on that fire raptor. They're so worth it. Perhaps a vox on the recons so help bring down your deepstrikers.

Brother Aiwass Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah, I know I'm missing the whole capabilities about the Cortus, and as you say, I thought that would be nice to field a cheap dakka contemptor. However I made some changes as you suggested.

Nusquam Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah the Cortus is in a strange spot, it's better than a regular dread for only a few points more, great in CC, but at the same time the discount helps if you want to make it a mortis. As for the Lightning I would suggest Tank Hunters over the phosphex bombs. With Strafing Run and TH those 4 krakens are going do do massive damage on what is likely your only optimal attack run. Then it's going to be shot at, forced to jink, and wont be able to bomb anything. It's not a bad bomber, but its a fantastic tank hunter. You may struggle against mechanized lists that have lots of troops mounted in rhinos though. Not a whole lot if you can get that Raptor on early. My suggestion is if you're not committed to the volkite on the Cortus to switch to autocannons.

Brother Aiwass Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Agreed about the lightning, a shame that is my only phosphex source, but not crucial. And yes, I'm fond of the volkites, however, the dread (this one is a regular one, not a Cortus) will be magnetized, so no problem (at least list wise, modelling however it may be, as I want to take this project as a modeling challenge and try to avoid as much as astartes/human tech as possible (raiding xenos FTW). Meaning that every vehicle would be either heavily converted or scrap builded. Regular dread will be the old one from Space Crusade (I have two! ^_^ ) and may be difficult to make it a rifleman, and for the Cortus I was planning on mounting a 1/35 Korean K1A1 main battle tank turrent on a pair of sentinel legs, but I'm getting off topic.Anyway, I will consider making a rifleman :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319629-black-shields-raid-force-2k-points-changes-with-new-book/#findComment-4317779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 This is another list I'm considering, maybe not that powerful as the previous one (no Fire Raptor or plasma cannons) but I like the feeling of it. Do you think it might work or I'll be doomed? My main opponents will be Necrons (with monoliths), Nids (swarmzilla) and Blood Angels (one DP with a Furioso, a Baal pred and little armor, maybe a Landraider).HQGaurav Rudra (Nemean Reaver) - 180ELITESTerminator Squad Dhraav x5 (Chainfist, RAC, Deathlock x2, c-melta x2, Grenade Harness, Rad Grenades) - 240TROOPSMarauder Squad Svar x10 (chainaxes x9, Pariah bolter x10, lightning claw, melta bombs, vox, Rad Grenades) 345• Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop PodMarauder Squad Gaut x10 (chainaxes x9, Pariah bolter x10, lightning claw, melta bombs, Rad Grenades) - 235Marauder Squad Senthil x10 (chainaxes x9, Pariah bolter x10, lightning claw, melta bombs, Rad Grenades) - 235Reccon squad Imra x5 (scout armor, camaleonine, sniper rifle x5, nuncio-vox) - 185Support squad Ghoras x5 (plasma gun x5) - 175FASTStormeagle Vár - 210Primaris lightling - Rukh (4 Kraken Missiles, Ground-tracking Auguries) - 195 2000 sharp.
