IronDrake28 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Rite of War - Primarch's Chosen HQ Alpharius - 415pts Troops Legion Terminators (7 Men) - 282pts Power Dagger + Lightning Claw (Sarge) 7x Combi-Melta 4x Power Fist 2× Power Weapon Banestrike Rounds Veteran Tac Squad (10 Men) - 285pts Snipers Artificer Armour 2× Heavy Bolter Veteran Tac Squad (10 Men) - 285pts Snipers Artificer Armour 2× Heavy Bolter Support Squad (5 Men) - 175pts 5× Melta Guns Support Squad (5 Men) - 175pts 5× Plasma Guns Elites Contemptor - 205pts DCCW w/ Graviton DCCW w/ Graviton Heavy Support Deredeo - 220pts Anvilus Autocannons Aiolos Missiles I'll be using Infiltrate from Mutable Tactics. I want to make a list all about a nasty alpha strike, but after testing a list out I found I lacked enough anti-tank, and no anti-air was a terrible idea. So, if you guys & girls could help me tweak/add in the last units that would be great, thanks in advance!

Slips Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 One Problem: Primarch is automatically your Warlord meaning Skorr gets no Warlord Trait. Additionally a single squad of 5 Destroyers isn't going to do you much good. 8 Bolt Pistol shots and 1 Rad Missile for nearly 200 points. Not worth the investment. No artificer armor on your Sarges means no 2+ Save to tank with in an environment all about killing MEQ. Relics (Drakina) are no longer part of Standard 30k Play. They require player consent to be used. Why take Sniper on a Plasma Gun Squad? They're already Ap2 and Wounding on better than a 4+ vs MEQ/TEQ/T6 or lower MC's. It helps the other Bolters in the squad but then you're paying for a special weapon that doesn't benefit in any way. A Weapon with a higher rate of fire or Wound Potential would be of more use so that the rule comes into play more. I'm also against singular Combi-Weapons in squads. I'd rather spend those points on Artificer Armor on a Sarge and/or Melta Bombs. Each shot tanked on a 2+ Save that would have normally killed another marine in the squad is the upgrade paying for itself.

IronDrake28 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Alright, I guess that just goes to show how much of a HH noob I am haha. I've made some changes in the list above, what are some good recommendations for the last 250pts I have?

Balthamal Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I think you're missing the mark with Alpharius tbh. His deployment rule favours big squads with lots of bodies to hightlight the fact he could be anywhere. With that low a model count those squads could potentially be wiped before he makes an appearance leaving him high and dry. Plus giving your units preferred enemy everything is unbelievable so you want lots of marines to take advantage of it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319821-alpha-legion-2000pts-help-to-finish/#findComment-4322013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
