Ishagu Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Absolutely great and thematic. The sheer number of bodies will be overwhelming. You support them well with effective firepower from the tanks. Personally I know I'll struggle with this list. It's interesting - because blasts, Templates and barrage were so powerful and easy to come by, infantry on the table almost disappeared. As a result, myself and the other Heresy players in my area have units more geared towards punching tanks or high toughness units. We'll be looking at more trend changes, but a great army.

Theredknight Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 One idea, are those sicaran tank hunting? You could get 2 las vinds with machine spirit for cheaper. And annihilate your enemy armour. Otherwise I was thinking the same lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Only concern would be deepstriking those guys. I believe your forced deepstrike and they leave quite a large footstep. Otherwise pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyem Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Apothecaries can't have both AA and Jump Pack. Looking very nice otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Any specials at all on the Vets? Even a couple Plasma Guns or something would be amazing with Sniper etc. Maybe a power weapon or two? I think 20man blobs of ASM might get hard to place, could be worth dropping them to 15 and using those free'd up points to grab a dreadclaw for the Volkite Squad, getting a good landing with them, opening fire and then charging with encarmine fury (and additional CCW) would mean a hell of a lot of Pseudo S5 Attacks in both shooting and combat.

Otherwise I was thinking the same lines! You're right, but the porblem is that I actually have two Sicarans. I also have one Venator and im looking to trade one of the regular Sicarans for another Venator. If I do ill probably replace both of them with the Venators, freeing up some points.

Seeing as how Apothecaries cant have AA, think that will free up some points for plasma guns for the vets. I dont want to give the Volkites a Transport since I need at least one unit on the home objective. Also these are Calivers with Heavy 2, not Chargers with Assault 2, so they need to stay put to fire, although I will say that I'll be looking into getting some Chargers now considering they are a free upgrade now, meaning I get to save a whopping 50 points! But, having two blobs of 21 marines may be hard to place. Would still be cool simply for the "wow thats a lot of power armor in my lines" factor (not to mention the vets at the flanks).

Terminus Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Not enough gear, IMO. You're missing out on stuff like combat shields on AM sgts, power weapons and specials. 70 power armor bodies are impressive, but die quickly when you're not putting out much damage. You'll struggle against dreadnoughts or any massed armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
