major higgins Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Here they are, revisited and better balanced... A precision: it's not a list for tourney, but for fluff game between 4 friends... HQ Siege Breaker + Catafract Armor + Chain Fist + Combiplasma ELITE 3 Rapier Battery + Shatter Shell Contemptor Cortus + Plasma Cannon 10 Iron Warriors Veterans + 2 HB + Melta Bombs + Power Weapon + Nuncio Vox TROOPS 10 Iron Warriors Tactical + Melta Bomb Rhino 10 Iron Warriors Tactical + Melta Bomb Rhino FAST Dreadclaw Drop Pod HEAVY 2 Basilisks 1 Vindicator + Laser Array 5 Tyrant Siege Terminators + 1 Chain Fist Siege Breacker will go with Tyrnat Siege, his BS5 combi-plasma is for close support before a charge or a counter charge. Cortus is there for close support and countercharge, because usually loyalist use BA with lot of dropping units in turn 1 and lot of Armor 2+. A blast of VP2 weapon and a charge with Rage, if needed, could mess his plan. Veterans are my Ace of Spade units. They may take sniper and act as anti infantry, they may take furious charge and engage from drop pod enemy devastators, or tacticals. And with 10 meltabombs they may charge enemy tanks and blast through them easily. Again BA player and Loyalist DG player run lot of predator and Sicaran. The possibility to land between enemy lines and the combination of Nuncio Vox and Rite of war allow me to deliver easily a lethal barrage without fear to hit my own men... Dreadclaw is for veterans, but in some situations it may be used for Cortus, or for Terminators too (without Siege B. obviously) I prefer Basilisks on Medusas because of the range, which allow me to strike far Devastator or Support vehicles out of range of their main gun. Advise or considerations that I missed? Ah yes... We run Traitor Iron Warriors and Night Lords VS Loyalist Death Guards and Blood Angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtDan Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 What row are you running as you only got a siege breaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The laughing raven Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 How come you are running a seige breaker but not taking advantage of phosphex on the mortars or are they more for pinning units in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorgeousGoat Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 How come you are running a seige breaker but not taking advantage of phosphex on the mortars or are they more for pinning units in place? I think it's because it's a fluffy game between friends? I hope lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The laughing raven Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 fair point, although for myself my luck with scatter just means they create dangerous terrain more than kills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtDan Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Phosphex is just nasty. My club hate the 3 I run for my deathguard. They going to hate the 3 medusas I just got too. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
major higgins Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Mortar are good enough with normal shell, and usually I use them in direct fire missions because of the high number of Contemptor/predators my friends run. Now with the new book I've got a reduction of cost here and there, so I changed slightly my list in this way: Traitor Iron Warriors Iron Fire Rite of War 2000 Pt HQ Siege Breaker + Catafract Armor + ChainFist + Combi Melta ELITE 3 Rapier Quad Mortars + Shatter Shell 10 Veterans + 2 M. Lunchers + Power Weapon + Nuncio Vox + M. Bomb Rhino 1 Contemptor Cortus + Keres Assault Cannon TROOPS 10 Iron Warriors Tactical + Melta Bomb + Nuncio Vox Rhino 10 Iron Warriors Tactical + Melta Bomb Rhino HEAVY 2 Basilisks 5 Tyrant Siege Terminators + Chainfist 7 Iron Havocs + M. Lunchers + Augury Scanner + Art. Armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
