Caillum Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think you've overpriced those Tac Squads by 3 points man. :) You have a few points left, so why not do this? - add augury scanners to the Apothecaries. - add vexillas to the Tactical Squads. - swap the Spartan's auxiliary drive for a flare shield. Might need to drop a couple of Marines to do this.

Natharius Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 I recalculated the point and its really 253 pts XD its beaucause I did not buy a cc weapon for sergeant. I still have 44 points to play with, so yeah I'm ganna add the scanners and vexilia. About the spartan, I was thinking the auxiliary drive was better because if I get an immobilise I canm repair it, and the flare shield is a ton of point :( And the rest of the list? I was questionning myself if it was good to put a spartan with deathshroud in a gunline style army...

Caillum Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Well, you need to buy 15 combat blades, because they are only available squad-wide. The Sergeant then swaps it for a Deathshroud power scythe for another 15 points. You could swap his bolter instead, but it's better to keep that for shooting at long range. The way you have the squads now should cost 265. Auxiliary drive is cool, but you won't Immobilise yourself due to having Move Through Cover, so it's only helping against enemy attacks. Flare shield willl do so much for the Spartan's survivability! Deathshroud also have to buy melta bombs squad-wide. So that's 20 points extra. Maybe drop a couple of Tactical Marines to pay for the important stuff? And yes, Mortarion & Deathshroud in the Spartan works nicely. Turn 1 you move it 6" forward and disembark them another 6" forward. Mortarion does his crazy redeploy another 10", putting him around 2" from the enemy deployment zone. Then you charge. In Turn 1. :) Taking 3 Deathshroud in a Land Raider Phobos will work nearly as well, and save a lot of points.

Natharius Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Oh ya just saw about the combat blades, thanks. I'm more scared about this first turn immobilise from the ennemy. I personally don't like the idea of 3 deathshrouds, i'd take 7 but won't have the cash to buy another 5 :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329675-the-reaping-deathguard-2500-pts/#findComment-4620194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
