Blackheart1223 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 As the title says, how does one start building a XV Legion force? I am currently sitting on 3 Calth boxes (minus 1 Chaplin and contemptor) and plan on picking up at least 2 Prospero boxes. With the scuttlebutt being that Inferno won't be dropping until February at least, what would be a good "core" group of units that I can be reasonably sure will be needed once the full TSons rules come out?

helterskelter Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'd potentially wait just a little longer before seeking a definitive answer. The prosperous box may have some clues as to what inferno will give. Otherwise you have a lot of bodies that can only be made into generic units with a smidge of fluff for flavour. Eg building the terminators with a reaper autocannon because of the names numerology and intimidating sound etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327025-building-the-xvth-where-to-start/#findComment-4537446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 3x 10 man tactical squads is usually. a safe bet seeing add most legion ROW require a third troop Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327025-building-the-xvth-where-to-start/#findComment-4537475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cohort Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 A heavy weapon squad and a special weapon squad or two also wouldn't be a bad idea. Neither would a veteran squad or two. All those squads fit well into most legions. With the two contemptors maybe go dual kheres on one and multi-melta and power fist on the other?

Nightmare84 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 i dont think you need 2 boxes of prospero. you already have a lot of infantry. i would work on transports and heavy firepower from here. 30k while it tries to push you in the direction of large squads has so many things that can delete them in a instant. for thousand sons from what we know they love technology so things like volkite, plasma, laser wouldnt go astray Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327025-building-the-xvth-where-to-start/#findComment-4537644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart1223 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Well, the Mk III are going to my death guard, so it'll be more for Ahriman and the Terminators. Are we thinking 10 man Tac Squads in rhino and veterans are a good starting point? I'm trying to hold out for Inferno before placing a FW order, though I am tempted by the Fire Raptor.

Nightmare84 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 friend of mine is doing his tsons 2 tacs in rhino then a couple of support squad with volkite and rhinos for troops. makes a good starting point which is 99.9999% sure wont be undone by inferno. veterans are great but without knowing their coming RoW forces you into running pride of legion or delagatus RoW Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327025-building-the-xvth-where-to-start/#findComment-4538913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
