annymouse Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hi, this is a bit of an offshoot from another list posted here by doctor_doom which was really helpful in giving me a solid direction for my word bearers army. I added a bit to make it 3k points which is apparently what everyone plays standard around where I live (the original list was 2k). HQ - 310 Centurion - artificer, burning lore, chaplain, refractor field, bolt pistol, cc Zardu - Pride of the Legion Troops - 560 veterans x 10 - sniper, 2x heavy bolters, artificer armour, power fist veterans x 10 - rhino, dozer blade, tank hunters, 2x melta, artificer armor, power fist Eiltes - 950 Apothecary Detatchment - 2x apothecary artificer, augury scanner, power weapon Contemptor Mortis - 2x kheres Gal Vorbak x 10 - artificer armour, power fist, 2x power weapons (maul) Contemptor Cortus - drop pod, dual dread cc w/ graviton guns Heavy Support - 775 Spartan - armoured ceramite, flare shield, TL heavy flamer Deredeo - Aiolos missiles, armored ceramite Sicaran Battle Tank - Armored ceremite, lascannon sponsons Lord of War - 410 Typhon Heavy Seige Tank - Lascannon sponsons, armored ceramite total: 3000pts I'm open to all criticisms of the list! The only things im missing from completing this list is the typhon, deredeo and sicaran, so any comments about those three would also help me maybe not make a silly purchase. I believe i can drop the armored ceramite from a few things and trim a bit of fat to fit another unit in there but im unsure what to cut. Thanks for your time!

captainblow Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Where does the second apothecary go? He can't join the gal'vorbak, nor will he fit in the rhino with the veterans. Is the chaplain joining zardu with the gal'vorbak? If so you could make him a plain centurion, as zardu already has zealot. Overall I like the list, maybe a bit light on scoring.

annymouse Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks for the reply! The second apothecary was mostly because i couldn't find something to fill the points so i thought i'd just stick him with his friend. That's probably a waste (or illegal?). If I drop him and cut some stuff elsewhere (the chaplain) i might be able to fit another random tac squad in so I have more scoring? Yes the centurion is going with the Fun Boys in the Hurt Wagon.

annymouse Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Here's what an updated list might look like? HQ - 235 Centurion - artificer, bolt pistol, cc Zardu - Pride of the Legion Troops - 745 Tactical squad x 10 rhino, bolters veterans x 10 - sniper, 2x heavy bolters, artificer armour, power fist veterans x 10 - rhino, dozer blade, tank hunters, 2x melta, artificer armor, power fist Eiltes - 875 Apothecary Detatchment - apothecary artificer, augury scanner, power weapon Contemptor Mortis - 2x kheres Gal Vorbak x 10 - artificer armour, power fist, 2x power weapons (maul) Contemptor Cortus - drop pod, dual dread cc w/ graviton guns Heavy Support - 735 Spartan - armoured ceramite, flare shield, TL heavy flamer Deredeo - Aiolos missiles Sicaran Battle Tank - lascannon sponsons Lord of War - 410 Typhon Heavy Seige Tank - Lascannon sponsons, armored ceramite total: 3000pts other options: removing the lascannons from the typhonand giving the centurion back his burning lore and refractor shield?

ChainMachete Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If it was me, I'd be giving the Tank Hunters veteran sergeant a combi-melta and meltabombs instead of the powerfist. Or ideally whole unit meltabombs. The power fist on your Snipers verteran sergeant is probably also wasted since you'll want to keep them out of trouble and sniping - the sarg is really just there to tank wounds with his artificer armour in that sort of unit. Also I keep my Apothecaries cheap and just give them artificer, but that's probably just me - no reason why you won't get use out of the rest of his equipment. The Contemptor Mortis role is covered by your Deredeo, so even though he's a strong choice, he's not strictly necessary in your list. If you ever need to free up points for something else, he would be a good candidate.

annymouse Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Would dropping him for another scoring unit of vets be worth it? Maybe another vanilla Sicaran since theyre pretty versatile? edit: woops you cant bring sicarans in a squad nvm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320493-word-bearers-3k-list/#findComment-4345985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
