Calth/Prospero Box sets Load outs

[chenley]

I have the Calth box set, and I will be picking up the Prospero set. I am wondering what everyone's opinion is as to unit load outs. I have narrowed my legion choices down to four: Space Wolves, Thousand Sons, Alpha Legion, and Iron Warriors. I have been waiting for the Book 7 to drop before I confirm legion.

 

I have been thinking of making legion veterans out of all of the basic marines. It seems that only heavy bolters come with prospero, and I know that Calth has only heavy bolters and missile launchers.  Same as special weapons.

 

I have been also leaning to loading out both sets of terminators with lightning claws. Or is some fire support better?

 

I have a contemptor that I have enough arms for either 2 twin-lascannons, or 2 power fists/storm bolters/flamers. Also with missile launcher option.

So I would have 2 contemptors. One either long range/combat, or 2 mid range support.

 

I have a breacher squad as well.

 

I have a couple of spare rhinos so I can have a couple of veterans or the breacher squad  in transports.

 

Basically what makes sense game wise?? Because I am really tempted to just build things the way that I think looks cool.

Go Iron Warriors! Definitely no bias even if they're my favorite legion. Definitely no bias here.

Maybe just a little bias.

 

 

I'd say write up a couple lists with that you have available and see which you like most. For your terminators I'd give probably two each a chainfist for dealing with any vehicles that come near them as well as for some nice Instant Death on most things. On the Contemptors, I'd go with whatever you like, really. Though if you give one of them dual Lascannons you can run it as a Contemptor Mortis, which will be a nice source of AA if it doesn't move. I'm not sure what else to say right now, but I hope this helps!
