Lord Blackwood Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 So Some of my Points may be a touch off , but this is what I am thinking about doing , probably not the strongest list , or the most balanced , but it may be fun. 2958/3000 Orbital Assault ------------------------------------- HQ Speaker of the Dead - 150 ( With Veteran Squad 1 ) Aether Rune Armor Great Frost Blade Wolfkin of Russ - 100 ( In Dreadclaw with Russ ) Preator - 150 ( In Dreadclaw with Russ) Iron Halo Great Frost Blade --------------------------- Elite Contemptor Cortus Dreadnought 260 TL Las Cannon Dreadnought Drop Pod ------------------------------------ Troop Varagyr - Stock With Axes 280 ( Gain Native Deep strike due to ROW ) < - First thing I would cut from the list honestly but I do have points to potentially get a vox or two on some of my infantry 2x Chainfist Veteran Tac Squad 1 203 [MARKSMAN] 8 Veterans + 1 Sargent Drop Pod Artificer Armor and Combi Weapon On Sargent Veteran Tac Squad 2 215 [ MARKSMAN ] 9 Veterans +1 Sargent Drop Pod Artificer Armor and Combi Weapon On Sargent Grey Slayer Pack 1 - 125+ 95 = 220 Drop Pod 35 2 Power Fists 20 AA On Huscarl 10 Frost Weapon on Huscarl 15 Power sword x2 Power Axe 15 Grey Slayer Pack 2 - 125+ 95 = 220 Drop Pod 35 2 Power Fists 20 AA On Huscarl 10 Frost Weapon on Huscarl 15 Power sword x2 Power Axe 15 ------------------------------------------------- Heavy Support Levithan Pattern Dreadnought 410 Dreadnought Drop Pod Claw Drill Phosphex Armored Ceramite -------------------------------------------------- Fast Attack Lightning Strike Fighter 185 Battle Servitors Kraken Pair x1 Dreadclaw Drop Pod 115 ------------------------------------------------- Leman Russ - 455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Howling Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I never thought about it this way, but do the Wolfkin actually count as one of the HQ units we have to take for every 1000 points? If yes that'd be nice actually! I really like your list, I think it will do very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrolf the Cunning Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 That list looks like a lot of fun brother. I haven't played a game in years so correct my if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that if you don't have any units on the table you auto-lose. How does that work in your list where everything is in pods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varyn Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 If you're drop podding a cortus dreadnought in, you'll ideally want to get it into assault as much as possible so I think the TL lascannon isn't worthwhile. I'd swap it for a chainfist and take 2 grav guns, that'll give you some decent anti armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that work in your list where everything is in pods? Wouldn't that make Orbital Assault unplayable as a rite of war ? I think you are correct though Ill need to do some digging.

Good thing they previewed wolves one , thanks for the tip ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withershadow Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 That is indeed the case. You basically need an anchor unit who can deep strike but don't have to, your best bet are jetbikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Blackwood Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 sounds like i should drop the terminators and get something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangbanger Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 If someone you play says you auto lose after their turn 1, then they are a dick and should stick with 40k.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Legionnaire Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It's at the end of the game turn, not player turn. And since half your pods enter play on your player turn 1 you'll be fine. EDIT: My bad, that's the 40k version I'm afraid. But to be honest it should work like that in 30k as well, otherwise it makes zero sense and disables lots of lists. That paragraph on p. 113 of the Age of Darkness Army List just smells like sloppy FW rules writing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Blackwood Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 So After posing the Argument to the guy who runs the Events for Northwest 30k , Legion United He says were going to be playing under the basic rule book ruling, though even still I look at those 280 point terminators ...and im not sure about them still . I do know I need to change out the dreadnought though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
