jeremy1391 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 So I just purchased my ticket for the LVO Horus heresy tournament. I'm contemplating running something along these lines.

K3nn3rs Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'm not sure about the terminator squad. They really need combi-melta/ plasma so that they can have some sort of effect when they deep strike. You also lack voxs to ensure the arrive accurately (I can remember if you can use Dorn's wargear whilst inside a transport). I also think your Vet squad could do with a rhino. If you don't want to free up points or don't want to buy another rhino I'd prioritise the vets over your tac squad. I'd consider splitting the predator squadron or down grading the executioner plasma cannon to a normal pred cannon or investing in power of the machine spirit - at the minute you have a lot of different weapons firing at the same target which isn't very points efficient imo. I think you could free up points from the second apothercary - I don't think a 10man Tac squad warrants the investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminus Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 If by Chosen you mean command squad, they make the list illegal. They count as part of the same FOC slot as Dorn, so count toward your LOW allocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy1391 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 So I ran this list against alpha legion today and it did really well! His army was a coils of the hydra list that was Dynat (of course) 2 apothecaries with scanners 2 tac squads with vexillas, sergeant with power dagger and artificer armor Assault squad 2 power axe, Sgt with power Fist arty armor, dagger 3 thud guns Leviathan melta thingy and storm cannon and phosphex In pod 10 iron havocs Sicaran venator Alpharius After action review Dorn and pals were disgustingly good! They killed the thud guns, apothecary, Dynat, the venator And Dorn put three wounds on alpharius. Sadly in the last turn Dorn was brought low by the serpent. But I killed most of his scoring by turn two. So in the end it was 6-3 for the Fists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
