2gud2bbad Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hey Guys, i finally left my idea of Orbital Assault AL behind after some tests which showed how rigid and unsuitable it is for low point games. So tried to find a new, fitting RoW and came up with Armoured Breakthrough, which in my opinion really suits the Alpha Legion and makes especially their Infantry and DT's shine as well as the basic 3HP tanks. I put a list together and bought all the components already (I'll probably run a PL once i built and prepared enough models) - I'd be interested how you would change the list altogether, how it stacks up compared to other Armies in 30k and after all, how you would rate this list. In conclusion i should have gotten enough input by then to plan future reinforcements. To the List: +++ Armoured Battalion 2k (Warhammer 30,000 - The Horus Heresy v39) (2000pts) +++ ++ The Age of Darkness (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List v200) ++ + HQ + ····Master of Armour ······Legion Sicaran Battle Tank [Auxiliary Drive, Dozer Blade, Lascannons] + Elites + ····Legion Veteran Tactical Squad [9x Legion Veteran Space Marines, Veteran Tactics: Marksmen] ······Additional Wargear [2x Plasma gun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Plasma gun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Plasma gun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Plasma gun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Plasma gun] ······Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Dozer Blade, Multi Melta] ······Legion Veteran Sergeant [bolt Pistol, Chainsword/Combat Blade] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Plasma gun] ····Legion Veteran Tactical Squad [9x Legion Veteran Space Marines, Veteran Tactics: Marksmen] ······Additional Wargear [2x Meltagun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Meltagun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Meltagun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Meltagun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Meltagun] ······Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Dozer Blade, Multi Melta] ······Legion Veteran Sergeant [bolt Pistol, Chainsword/Combat Blade] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Meltagun] ····Legion Veteran Tactical Squad [9x Legion Veteran Space Marines, Veteran Tactics: Marksmen] ······Additional Wargear [2x Meltagun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Meltagun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Meltagun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Meltagun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Meltagun] ······Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Dozer Blade, Multi Melta] ······Legion Veteran Sergeant [bolt Pistol, Chainsword/Combat Blade] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Meltagun] ····Legion Veteran Tactical Squad [9x Legion Veteran Space Marines, Veteran Tactics: Marksmen] ······Additional Wargear [2x Plasma gun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Plasma gun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Plasma gun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Plasma gun] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Plasma gun] ······Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Dozer Blade, Multi Melta] ······Legion Veteran Sergeant [bolt Pistol, Chainsword/Combat Blade] ········Combi-weapon [Combi-weapon: Plasma gun] + Troops + ····Legion Predator Strike Armoured Squadron ······Legion Predator Tank [Dozer Blade, Lascannons] ····Legion Predator Strike Armoured Squadron ······Legion Predator Tank [Dozer Blade, Lascannons] + Heavy Support + ····Legion Vindicator Siege Tank Squadron [Legion Vindicator Tank] ····Legion Vindicator Siege Tank Squadron [Legion Vindicator Tank] ····Legion Vindicator Siege Tank Squadron [Legion Vindicator Tank] + Legion + ····Legiones Astartes [ XX: Alpha Legion, Traitor] ····Rite of War [Armoured Breakthrough] Exactly 2000 points. Mutable Tactics: Tank Hunters Tactics: As a little reminder for the RoW: - It makes Predators with Autocannon turrets compulsory troops - All tanks with 3 or less HP gain Fast - Unlocks a HQ Tank being a Predator or Sicaran with MotL. If the Tank is the WL it gains +1 Bs and a 24' Reroll Aura for Ld. The Tactics a pretty simple. Every Unit in this Army has the Potential to deal with Tanks and most (except for the Rhinos) can tackle Infantry pretty effective as well. Vindicators can go 12' and fire their '5 blasts and the Sicaran and Predators have also a lot of mobility being fast tanks. The 4 Veteran Squads will outflank and can threaten actually everything.

Theradrussian Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I love the concept (and had a good chuckle at the tags you used), but the first thing that strikes me is a lack of AA. Guess it depends on your meta, but some of the nasty flyers out there would have a field day cracking stuff open. Do you have any particular scenarios/missions in mind for this list? I presume you'll strictly be playing it into other 30k armies?

What do you think? Haha, your tags are ace! Had a good laugh too at them! :) One drawback with your list is that while being quite mobile, it lacks vehicles with high AV all around, which means you will expose your read low AV alot as you move around the battlefield and open up for easy kills for the opponent. If I was facings this list I would focus on outflanking and infiltrating and take out your vehicles from their low AV side in the rear and/or sides. Javelins and scimitars coming in from flanks will wreak havoc in your advancing panzerline taking multiple S8 shots in your rear face of your vehicles (Javelins with missile pods and pintle mounted multimelta).
