returnofirv Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 OK, the plan was to buy the Calth box and a few extra vehicles that I could then use for 30K and 40K, but it looks like I would need different vehicles for 40K. Soooo, thinking instead about 30K - the plan is still to use the box for the core and then buy a couple of vehicles. I have them painted up in purple and gold because i love the colours rather than wanting them to be EC (I avoid the HH fluff) Centurion (termi, chainfist) 10 tacticals in rhino 10 tacticals in rhino 5 termis (poweraxe) in LR spartan dread (lascannons) 5 legion HS - volcite culverin 5 legion HS - flamers Predator Im wondering whether i should drop the predator and put the flamers in a vehicle instead? i.e. 7 flamers in a rhino?

K3nn3rs Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The flamers certainly need to be in a rhino but remove them altogether in the list. Outside of Salamanders I'm not sure what 5 heavy flamers would achieve in a mostly marine in marine game (though your meta might be different). I'd use the points to add lascannons to the predator, articfer armour, power weapons and meltabombs to the tac sgts, extra combat weapons to the tac sqds, dozer blades to the rhinos, power fists and chain fists to the terminators, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326693-1500pts-from-the-calth-box/#findComment-4528997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
returnofirv Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Thanks - thats really useful. I can never get my head around Marines lists :-/ so like this: Centurion (termi, chainfist) 10 tactical w sarg (meltabombs, artificer, power axe) in rhino (dozerblade) 10 tactical w sarg (meltabombs, artificer, power axe) in rhino (dozerblade) Mortis Dread (TL lascannon) 4 termis (power fist) & sarg (chainfist) in LR 5 Legion HS (Culverins) Predator (2 lascannon) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326693-1500pts-from-the-calth-box/#findComment-4529002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
K3nn3rs Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Yes! I think at 1500 Pts that gives you plenty of options and maximises the models in the box set.

returnofirv Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 According to Army Builder 5 points, but a friend (the only person i know who plays 30K so will be my default opponent) thinks that the army builder points are wrong, so i'll have to check Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326693-1500pts-from-the-calth-box/#findComment-4529035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
K3nn3rs Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Was it a normal LR or a spartan assault tank? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326693-1500pts-from-the-calth-box/#findComment-4529056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

K3nn3rs Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Nice! I suggest using the last 5 points to get a dozer blade for it. As the points increase look at getting armoured ceramite and a flare shield for it!
