Sol_Invictus Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 So I'm trying to come up with a list for a tournament I'm planning on participating in next year and trying to avoid the Castellax route and go for something fun with my Ordo Reductor. Here's what I'm playing with currently HQ Archmagos Reductor - 270 Abeyant, Graviton Imploder, Cyber Familiar, 1 x Cyber-occularis, Djinn-skein, photon gauntlet Troops Thallax - 150 3 x Thallax, Multi-Melta Thallax - 490 9 x Thallax, 9 x heavy chainblade, Melta bombs, Ferrox Fast Attack Avenger Strike Fighter - 190 Battle servitor control, Two kraken penetrator missile Heavy Support Krios Venator Squadron - 300 2 x Krios venator Myrmidon Destructors - 385 2 x Graviton imploder, 1 x photon thruster cannon, Triaros w/ Blessed Autosimulcra, hunter killer missile Minotaur Artillery tank - 215 Armoured Ceramite I'm torn between running the Venators or an Ordo Reductor Artillery battery equipped as follows for which I would drop the upgrades on the Triaros Ordo Reductor Artillery battery - 310 2 x OR artillery tank, Medusa cannon, Machine spirit, siege plating Thoughts? Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillum Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Krios Venators are really good. But so are Medusae! I'd lose the Minotaur in favour of the OR Artillery Battery (provided you can find a few more points). Graviton imploders are brutal, but on your Archmagos I would take a machinator array instead - much more useful. You could always take graviton imploders on the Myrmidon Destructors? The Archmagos can also take a lot of awesome melee upgrades, like rad grenades, Paragon blade, etc. Maybe invest in some of those? The massive Ferrox unit is super cool, but if you need some points elsewhere, I would drop a few to help pay for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol_Invictus Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 I just like the Minotaur so dang much. The look on my opponent's face when I pull out the massive blast template is just priceless and it tends to divert their attention a bit too but I will consider dropping it in place of the ORAT. So I forgot to mention that I'd be running the magos with the Myrmidons so I figured the grav imploder would be a good choice with that group but you're thinking make the magos more cc oriented? Yeah, the Ferrox squad might be a bit big. I might drop it down to 6 and put the other 3 back into the other thallax squad or break them out into another 3 man multi-melta squad.

Terminus Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Meltabombs on the big thallax squad are a big waste of points, you can do better just swinging their rending blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol_Invictus Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Ok, here's my revised list based on some of the feedback I've received. HQ Archmagos Reductor - 310 Abeyant, Machinator Array, Paragon Blade(Master Crafted), Cyber Familiar, 2 x Cyber-occularis, Djinn-skein, Rad Grenades Troops Thallax - 150 3 x Thallax, Multi-Melta Thallax - 310 6 x Thallax, 6 x heavy chainblade, Ferrox Thallax - 145 3 x Thallax, Phased Plasma-Fusil Fast Attack Avenger Strike Fighter - 190 Battle servitor control, Two kraken penetrator missile Heavy Support Krios Venator Squadron - 300 2 x Krios venator Myrmidon Destructors - 385 3 x Graviton imploder, Triaros w/ Blessed Autosimulcra Minotaur Artillery tank - 215 Armoured Ceramite I'll be running the Archmagos with the Myrmidons and probably keeping the Thallax with the plasma fusil back in my DZ. Right now I'm leaning towards the Krios Venators over the ORATs just in case I have to deal with other Mechanicum lists but I'll see how they do in play test.
