Unknown Legionnaire Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Personally I can see the appeal to run FotA RoW, and I have done so myself occasionally, but you should be aware that each of your Dreadnoughts grants another VP to your opponent when destroyed. In certain missions this essentially means that your Dreads might be bleeding 2 VP apiece, which is really detrimental. FotA can be made to work, but is most often taken for 'fluff' reasons or in friendly games but certainly not in a competitive environment. I don't care much about that myself and have run FotA multiple times with my XXth Legion, just wanted to alert you to the potential shortcomings of the RoW. As for your list, just a few general points that stand out to me: - Your HQ choices are very brittle. Cheap (which is good), but easily obliterated. - Tank Hunters Mutable Tactic would only benefit your Hvy Support Squad. I'd try to work with a different MT maybe. - I'd go with Contemptors over regular Boxnaughts.

Unknown Legionnaire Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Blackshields can't use RoW at all. And can only ever take a single Consul. I suggest reading the HH rulebooks.

Varyn Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'd suggest looking at some other lists using this rite of war, to get some suggestions on how to build the list.

Lord Asvaldir Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Couple general ideas for your list: Don't take duplicate equipment on all 4 dreadnoughtsquads, mix it up so they are equipped to face different targets. Dual kheres assault cannons is awesome, but also don't ignore the combat potential of dreads. I'd keep a few fists. Right now all three of your characters are useless point sinks when they don't have to be. Keeping them cheap is nice but they also need some basic equipment like a power axe so they actually bring something to your list. They also need a unit to ride with. Drop all those unneeded heavy support choices and take a command squad in a land raider instead for all three characters to ride with. Normally I'd recommend a spartan and a full terminator unit for them to ride with, but there's no way you'll fit that in at 1500. Also rad grenades are too good to pass up on for your forge lord.
