Jarkaira Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 As the title says I am looking for a compact punchy group which I can fit into Allied Detachment for my shooty Iron Hands in bigger games. Any suggestions? I am thinking about World Eaters but are there other possibilities? Or should I wait until Custodes got rules?

Lord Blackwood Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 One of the better stand alone melee units in the game are the Ultramarines Suzerian Squads They have ap 2 at imitative fit nicely into a raider being in artificer armor and make a good bodyguard fer the HQ of your allied detachment.Some folks might say Templar Brethren are another good one , and I would agree if you are hunting 3+ save units , since they only have powerswords ( and a fist on the champion) youll mostly bounce off terminators.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I like BA in this role since they use jump packs... they can make for great tank hunting.

Jarkaira Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 So this comes into my mind: Delegatus + artificer armour + Blade of Perdition + inferno pistol + jump pack 9 Assault Space Marines + inferno pistol (+ melta bombs) + 1 Assault Sergeant + artificer armour + inferno pistol + power fist 9 Terminators + 7× combi-weapon + 2× chainfist + 2× Iliastus pattern assault cannon + 7× pair of lightning claws + 1 Terminator Sergeant + pair of lightning claws • Spartan Assault Tank + armoured ceramite + flare shield + dozer blade + pintle-mounted Iliastus assault cannon Javelin Attack Speeder Squadron • Javelin Attack Speeder + pintle-mounted Iliastus assault cannon + 2× hunter-killer missiles • Javelin Attack Speeder + pintle-mounted Iliastus assault cannon + 2× hunter-killer missiles Without Termies and Spartan for smaller games of course. Can I haz Cheeseburger?... Erm i mean can I use RoWs with Allied Detachments? Day of the Revelation would work with that list.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I think the Delagatus has to be your Warlord. I like the list. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330376-melee-oriented-allies/#findComment-4637633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Yes, Delegatus HAS to be your warlord so you can't use him in an Allied Detachment. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330376-melee-oriented-allies/#findComment-4637707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarkaira Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 So then just basic Centurion and no RoW. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330376-melee-oriented-allies/#findComment-4637727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I think you can take a Praetor in an allied detachment, if so that can work. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330376-melee-oriented-allies/#findComment-4637758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
