KurganFr Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Here is my idea for a 2,000-point Pride of the Legion army without Roboute Guilliman (for a change) and using mostly models from the Calth and Prospero sets. The idea is to have a strong firebase of terminator and predators, while Remus helps bring the outflanking veterans in. The contemptor is there because I like the model. Feedback would be welcome. Thanks!

Harrowmaster Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The terminators will have a hard time crossing the board especially as they can't run. Having the predators in one squadron isn't great as they can't split fire. There is no AA in the list which may be a real problem Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330308-ultramarines-pride-of-the-legion-2000/#findComment-4636824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurganFr Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Good points about the Terminators and Predators. I'll look at splitting the tanks. I keep forgetting that 30K terminators can't deep strike; what do you suggest? The lack of AA is not an issue in my meta.

Harrowmaster Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Suzerains are very good but without a transport will have the same problem as the terminators, a Locutarus squad would be a good choice either as they can deepstrike and re-roll scatter and fire their pistols twice on arrival. Edit: If you split the predators you won't need a command tank, maybe look at getting some upgraded turret weaponry Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330308-ultramarines-pride-of-the-legion-2000/#findComment-4636882 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurganFr Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 The melta turret appeals to me for the Predators to help with anti-tank duties. I will add some Ultramarines-specific units as I build towards 2,500 and 3,000 points, but for now, since I have the Terminators already (Calth and Prospero sets), how can I help make them better?

K3nn3rs Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Transports. A Phobos LR or dreadclaw provide great options for 5 termies. A spartan or kharybdis are great options for larger squads. In terms of long term investment and use I personally don't think you can go wrong with a spartan/ phobos and a dreadclaw in your collection (as long as you like the models!)

K3nn3rs Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'd drop one of the vet squads to help pay for the terminators transports. May be just go with one squad of terminators at this points level? Use the remaining points for additional fire support (scorpius/ quad guns, javelins,etc).

Harrowmaster Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 A land raider would really help, mobility is more of an issue for cataphractii as they can't run meaning they have hard time getting across the board (they also can't fire overwatch so they need to be charging) Melta turrets are good but short ranged The executioner cannon has double the range and is better against infantry Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330308-ultramarines-pride-of-the-legion-2000/#findComment-4639324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
