AveImperator Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Need help with this list. They will mostly fight 40k armies since 30k inst all that popular just here yet, but its getting bigger and bigger. Also, are Vexillas worth the extra points on the vets? Should I drop some guys and equip one in each squad? What else should I do? Pride of the Legion - Blood Angels Legion HQ Praetor with Blade of Perdition and Catapractii Terminator Armour Troops 5 Catapractii Terminators with 3 power axes and 2 chain fists, with Spartan - Armoured Ceramite and Flare Shields 10 Legion Veterans with Marksman, Power Weapon, AA, one Heavy Flamer, Rhino 10 Legion Veterans with Marksman, Power Weapon, AA, one Heavy Flamer, Rhino 10 Legion Veterans with Marksman, AA, one Heavy Flamer, Rhino Heavy Support Sicaran with lascannons Sicaran with lascannons Sicaran Venator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtDan Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Drop a sicaran. Run the two heavy or special weapons in vets. Sargs with melta bombs. Max out the terms in the Spartan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveImperator Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Sergeants alone cant have melta bombs with vets, its all or none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare84 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 spartan seems overkill with only 5 terminators. could downgrade it phobos and turn the terminators into a command squad so they fit. sicarians level the 40k-30k playing field but since the price hike i think should swap 1 for 2x predators.

That is an excellent idea making them bodyguards instead of regular termies! How about this? What about taking a Dreadclaw instead of a Phobos. Its an assault unit so its going to get into a scrap even sooner, probably by turn 2, not to mention its a lot cheaper. Also, since these are BAs, im sure I can get a use out of the Dreadclaw in the future when I run a Day of Revelation list which is a Assault Marine heavy RoW, giving all deep struck units 5++ cover on the turn they come in on. Edit; And another thing, since this is a force that will mostly be going up against 40k armies, Dropping a termie and the spartan will put me under 1850 points, which is the mainstay for 40k games.

Rhino Fast Attack Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod Heavy Support Sicaran with lascannons Sicaran with lascannons Sicaran Venator Total 1795 points, giving me 55 points to spend on ether buffin my vets or adding armoured ceramite to the Sicarans.

Caillum Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Definitely take the 2nd heavy flamer in those Veterans Squads. I'd use the remaining points to take dozer blades on the tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveImperator Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Ok sounds good. Im curious tho, why dont I see that many lists with Dreadclaws considering how cheap they are points wise. Is there something im missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Dreadclaws are great. I like the list, I'd be tempted to do the following: combi-meltas for Command Squad - 28 swap heavy flamer to plasma gun and add second plasma gun to unit 1 - 15 add second heavy flamer to unit 2 - 15 That actually puts you 3 points over, but I would cut a guy or two from the last squad or even convert that unit to machine killers.
