Caillum Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Over here I discussed using Sevatar's version of 'Master of Ambush' to unique effect within the "Sacrificial Offering" Rite of War. So I thought I'd share my WIP list for this concept! PRIMARY DETACHMENT HQ 'Sevatar': Rite of War (Sacrificial Offering) xxx Chaplain: Crozius Arcanum (axe); artificer armour; refractor field 105 TROOPS 20 Tactical Space Marines: Tactical Sergeant (artificer armour; power fist); 19 Tactical Space Marines; swap bolters for chainswords 250 15 Assault Space Marines: Assault Sergeant (artificer armour; power fist; combat shield); 14 Assault Space Marines; 3 × power axes 298 ELITES Apothecarion Detachment • Apothecary: artificer armour; power sword 65 • Apothecary: power sword; jump pack 70 FAST ATTACK Javelin Attack Speeder Squadron • Javelin Attack Speeder: pintle-mounted multi-melta; 2 × hunter-killer missiles 75 • Javelin Attack Speeder: pintle-mounted multi-melta; 2 × hunter-killer missiles 75 Javelin Attack Speeder Squadron • Javelin Attack Speeder: pintle-mounted multi-melta; 2 × hunter-killer missiles 75 • Javelin Attack Speeder: pintle-mounted multi-melta; 2 × hunter-killer missiles 75 HEAVY SUPPORT Predator Strike Squadron • Predator: turret-mounted Executioner plasma destroyer; dozer blade; pintle-mounted combi-plasma 140 • Predator: turret-mounted Executioner plasma destroyer; dozer blade; pintle-mounted combi-plasma 140 Spartan Assault Tank: armoured ceramite; flare shield; dozer blade 375 Fire Raptor Gunship: 2 × turret-mounted Reaper autocannon batteries; 4 wing-mounted Hellstrike missiles 240 FORTIFICATIONS Aegis Defence Line: Comms Relay 70 ALLIED DETACHMENT HQ Force Commander: Alchem-jackers; Abhuman Helots; needle pistol; Charnabal sabre; carapace armour 135 TROOPS 12 Grenadiers: Grenadier Sergeant; 2 x Special Weapons Grenadiers (heavy stubbers); 9 Grenadiers; autoguns 95 12 Grenadiers: Grenadier Sergeant; 2 x Special Weapons Grenadiers (heavy stubbers); 9 Grenadiers; autoguns 95 FAST ATTACK 3 Auxilia Sentinels: 3 x autocannon; 3 × hunter killer missile 120 HEAVY SUPPORT 3 Artillery Carriages: 4 × additional Auxilia Crew; Medusa siege guns (breacher shells) 327 3,000 points The Force Commander joins the Artillery, and they and the Infantry hunker down behind the Aegis Defence Line. Alchem-jackers stops them from running away, while Abhuman Helots makes them a bit harder to remove. The Sentinels attempt to Scout into cover. Medusa breacher shells are 48", Str 10, AP 1, Heavy 1, Blast (3"), Armourbane, so they deal with the hardest targets. The Militia would ideally be modeled using Genestealer Neophytes with Skitarii Vanguard heads for that steampunk look. Kinda like this: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/3/11/785149_sm-Malfian%20test%202016%20WIP%202.JPG Sevatar, the Chaplain & Apothecary 1 ride in the Spartan. Night Lords want to see combat, so this should get them there for a Turn 3 charge (best you can do in this RoW). Apothecary 2 joins the Assault Marines and they also hunt for people to skin. The Predators are the anti-TEQ unit, the Javelins hunt light/medium armour, and the Fire Raptor takes out air threats & generally harasses units. I think that it will be pretty hard to remove all of the Militia in 1 turn. I could add a Medicae Detachment, but that won't stop a Typhon or Stormsword (which is the greatest threat). Also contemplated swapping the Artillery for some Leman Russ Vanquishers, or maxing out the Grenadier Squads for more insurance. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Harvest545 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If you swap a grenadier unit out for levies and then use the points saved to add 50pts of grenadiers and upgrade to lasrifles you end up with 40 bodies for the same price as 24 because of not needing to buy weapon upgrades twice and not paying 15 extra for SMU tax, if you're worried about the small size of the grenadier units in your list. Also could swap for regular militia and just add 8 grenadiers if you want a unit that can actually hit things more frequently than ws/bs2 levies.

K3nn3rs Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I didn't think Imperial Militia taken as allies could take the provenance options - this is great news! I really like the list - love the prototype Militia!

Unknown Legionnaire Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Abhuman Helots are always Distrusted Allies for all Legion Armies though, leaving you with only 2 scoring units in 3.000 pts. Might prove to be not much in some missions.

Caillum Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 @Harvest545, I played around with the Militia Troops for a while. They don't bring a lot to the army, as they're not Scoring, and all except Grenadiers suck. Perhaps multiple Militia bodies and an investment into more Night Lords Troops is the answer. Abhuman Helots are always Distrusted Allies for all Legion Armies though, leaving you with only 2 scoring units in 3.000 pts. I know. If you read my original thread that I linked in the 1st post, I point that out. It's actually a good idea fo run Abhuman Helots, as Night Lords and Imperialis Militia are already Distrusted Allies! :) But only 2 Scoring units is definitely a weak point... Some more revision required!

Caillum Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Slight changes to the list. Dropped a Javelin and turned the remainder into 3 units of 1. Swapped the Assault Squad & Apothecary for 2 Tactical Squads with Rhinos. Also swapped the 2 squads of Grenadiers for an Auxiliary Squad and a Fire Support Squad. This gives me a 3rd scoring unit and an extra dozen bodies behind the Aegis, costing me a Javelin. The 2 Tactical Squads are geared up, so they should be able to go harass objective holders with their Talent For Murder bonuses. And I know heavy stubber Militia are awful in-game, but they add to the flavour. :) PRIMARY DETACHMENT HQ 'Sevatar': Rite of War (Sacrificial Offering) xxx Chaplain: Crozius Arcanum (axe); artificer armour; refractor field 105 TROOPS 20 Tactical Space Marines: Tactical Sergeant (artificer armour; power fist); 19 Tactical Space Marines; swap bolters for chainswords 250 10 Tactical Space Marines: Tactical Sergeant (artificer armour; power axe); 9 Tactical Space Marines; add chainswords; legion vexilla 175 • Rhino: dozer blade; pintle-mounted multi-melta 55 10 Tactical Space Marines: Tactical Sergeant (artificer armour; power axe); 9 Tactical Space Marines; add chainswords; legion vexilla 175 • Rhino: dozer blade; pintle-mounted multi-melta 55 ELITES Apothecarion Detachment • Apothecary: artificer armour 55 FAST ATTACK Javelin Attack Speeder Squadron • Javelin Attack Speeder: pintle-mounted multi-melta; 2 × hunter-killer missiles 75 Javelin Attack Speeder Squadron • Javelin Attack Speeder: pintle-mounted multi-melta; 2 × hunter-killer missiles 75 Javelin Attack Speeder Squadron • Javelin Attack Speeder: pintle-mounted multi-melta; 2 × hunter-killer missiles 75 HEAVY SUPPORT Predator Strike Squadron • Predator: turret-mounted Executioner plasma destroyer; dozer blade; pintle-mounted combi-plasma 140 • Predator: turret-mounted Executioner plasma destroyer; dozer blade; pintle-mounted combi-plasma 140 Spartan Assault Tank: armoured ceramite; flare shield; dozer blade 375 Fire Raptor Gunship: 2 × turret-mounted Reaper autocannon batteries; 4 wing-mounted Hellstrike missiles 240 FORTIFICATIONS Aegis Defence Line: Comms Relay 70 ALLIED DETACHMENT HQ Force Commander: Alchem-jackers; Abhuman Helots 120 TROOPS 20 Militia Auxiliaries: Sergeant; 19 Militia Auxiliaries; autoguns 60 10 Militia Fire Teams: autopistols; heavy stubbers 150 FAST ATTACK 3 Auxilia Sentinels: 3 × autocannon; 3 × hunter killer missiles 120 HEAVY SUPPORT 3 Artillery Carriages: Medusa siege guns (breacher shells) 315 3,000 points Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329934-night-lords-sacrificial-offering-3k-with-sevatar/#findComment-4630355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
