Natharius Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I just picked up a box of Burning of Propero and Betrayal at Calth. I decided to go with the Death guard and I built 2 squads of 15 marines and a squad of 10 missile launcher support squad. Now with the marines left should I build a squad of 10 flamer marines or go for an other blob? Also, how would you a squad of Tartaros and a squad of Cataphractii?

depthcharge12 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Look up the Death Guard rite of war to find a good thing to build your list around :) id say to build the tartaros but buy the scythes from FW to convert them to the DG special terminators. Heavy support squads and veterans are non compulsory troops choices for that RoW so any options from there I would lean towards.

Tamwulf Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Do you have the two Red Books from Forgeworld? Before you buy another model, or build anything else, I suggest you get those books.

Brother Pheidias Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Another Tactical Squad, later for Support Squads. Also, you may want to trade either set of terminators so you can do one squad of 10. It gives you the option to run one big or two small Squads depending on lists, and also, you generally want bigger squads in 30k.

Natharius Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'm keeping both terminator squads they are both awsome figs that I can't decide which to keep so I went for both :PThe hard part is to choose what weapons to give them. Both of them will get the heavy flamer with chem amunition. Tartaros:1-Scythe with volkyte (he will be a preator most of the time) 2-Heavy flamer with chainfist 3-?? 4-?? 5-?? Cataphractii: 1-?? 2-Heavy flamer with chainfist 3-?? 4-?? 5-??

K3nn3rs Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 For me Tartaros are ideal for hunting large 3+ foes so could be equipped with lighting claws/ scythes heavy flamers and combi bolters. The ability to sweep is massive against blob squads but they lack the survivability to tie toe-to-toe against other terminator units. The cataphractii are ideal for targeting the heavier targets: enemy terminators/ heavy tanks and superheavies/ knights. All power fists as a minimum and combi plasma/ melta to taste. Upgrade as many chainfists as possible (minimum 2). I run my IF cataphractii unit with 5 x combi melta 5 x chain fists - perfect for dealing with super heavies/ knights and I find the melta is useful for double tapping T4 W2 elite terminators (looking at you red butchers!)

Natharius Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I was going for this kind of configuration! You convinced me :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329603-need-help-for-a-noob/#findComment-4615767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
