Thousand Eyes Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hi all, I am trying to create a 1000 point starter force for the Imperial Fists in Zone Mortalis. I really like the Stone Gauntlet force idea and either Pollux or the new Tribune as the leader, but I can't figure out the remaining 160 points. Any tips or ideas please?

Reyner Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 You could add some more marines and upgrades to the Breacher squads - namely the sergeants and some special weapons. Maybe an Apothecary or 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Was looking to do the same thing - glad this one came up! I would definitely say to add special weapons to the breachers - seems pointless without them, especially given the fact you will likely face another contemptor. Melta is a good option, as well as AA/MB's on the Sergeants perhaps. I was kinda toying between Apothecaries, a small Tactical Support Squad (flamers or volk chargers/CCW?) or since last I read, fielding a Leviathan - slightly overkill and a massive points sink though (maybe Ok if you go up in points a bit I guess).

Thousand Eyes Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 I hope would to expand this up later 1500 points and then to bring it up to 2000 points with a more rounded army list. But I really like the theme of void warfare. Apparently I also was using an old book and the breacher squads should be cheaper and all. Hmm.

infyrana Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yup, the latest book puts 10 man squads cheaper, 15 at the same price as they used to be and 20-man more expensive. I believe, don't quote me, Volkite Chargers on Tact Support are free (?) and you can now give them CCW's. There's a thread called "Rules Changes in LACAL" in the AoD section that's worth a read. Also worth grabbing Battlescribe to make lists with, the guy constantly updating it with the latest AoD rules is a godsend - well worth your time! But always check with the latest book and FAQ to be sure it's all valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thousand Eyes Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Taking on board whatever has said I put together this as a list, the only problem is it seems to say I can only have one elite? Am I missing something there?

The laughing raven Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If you are using battlescribe, make sure its not using allied detachment as it is the default setting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removal of individual points costs, please! Sorry about that, should be ok now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The laughing raven Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 are you using the new battlescribe app or the old one? as the app with a red outline will have all the updated points values and auto starts as an AoD force. Maybe swap the havoc launcher for breching charges on the sergs, apart from that I'm not sure you can do much else with a 1000pts to play with, with the FoC. Take it Polux with one unit and apoth with other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thousand Eyes Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Will double check I have the most up to date stuff on it. Using it via Android so should be easy to on the app store. There are actually two apothacaries, one for each unit. But yeah there isn't a lot that can be done with 1000 points but I was planning to just use that as much jump off point to be honest.

The laughing raven Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 oops had missed the second one! What would you use on the next 1000pts and would you stay stone gauntlet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thousand Eyes Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 oops had missed the second one! What would you use on the next 1000pts and would you stay stone gauntlet? I'd like to stay Stone Gauntlet to represent the forces Pollux used in Crimson Fist. But I'd imagine throwing in a big tac squad wouldn't be a bad idea.
