Rangaman Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I was playing around with some variations of my Armoured Spearhead list when I noticed that EACH Techmarine can take a Rhino as a Dedicated Transport, so three per Elite slot. For a bit of fun I decided to try and meld a unit of Tech-Rhinos into my list, so I can 1) screen some of my juicier tanks (Predators and Sicarans are always the first unit to be shot at) and 2) To add some Multimelta in for pop shots on enemy armour... +++ New Roster (Warhammer 30,000 - The Horus Heresy v68) (2500pts) +++ ++ The Age of Darkness (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List v257) (2500pts) ++ + HQ (140pts) + Maloghurst the Twisted (140pts) + Elites (270pts) + Techmarine Covenant (90pts) Legion Techmarine Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Dozer Blade, MultiMelta] Techmarine Covenant (90pts) Legion Techmarine Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Dozer Blade, MultiMelta] Techmarine Covenant (90pts) Legion Techmarine Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Dozer Blade, MultiMelta] + Troops (650pts) + Legion Veteran Tactical Squad (325pts) [4x Legion Veteran Space Marines] Land Raider Proteus [Dozer Blade, Twin-Linked Lascannon] Legion Veteran Sergeant [Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol, Bolter, Chainsword/Combat Blade] Legion Veteran Tactical Squad (325pts) [4x Legion Veteran Space Marines] Land Raider Proteus [Dozer Blade, Twin-Linked Lascannon] Legion Veteran Sergeant [Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol, Bolter, Chainsword/Combat Blade] + Heavy Support (860pts) + Legion Predator Strike Armoured Squadron (350pts) Legion Predator Tank [Dozer Blade, Executioner Plasma Destroyer, Lascannon Sponsons] Legion Predator Tank [Dozer Blade, Executioner Plasma Destroyer, Lascannon Sponsons] Legion Sicaran Battle Tank (210pts) [Accelerator Autocannon, Dozer Blade, Lascannon Sponsons, Pintle-mounted Heavy Bolter] Legion Vindicator Siege Tank Squadron (300pts) Legion Vindicator Tank [Combi-Bolter, Demolisher Cannon, Dozer Blade, Machine Spirit] Legion Vindicator Tank [Combi-Bolter, Demolisher Cannon, Dozer Blade, Machine Spirit] + Legion + Legiones Astartes [ XVI: Sons of Horus, Traitor] Rite of War [Armoured Spearhead] + Lords of War (580pts) + Legion Falchion Super-heavy Tank Destroyer (580pts) [space Marine Legion Crew] Twin-linked Volcano Cannon [Neutron Wave Capacitor] Created with BattleScribe EDIT: And after realizing this Techmarine-Rhino thing I had another bright idea...mass Conversion Beamers. Each Techmarine has a Beamer and his own Rhino, in this case 9.

Caillum Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 That second list is brilliant... absolutely brilliant. :) Iron Hands seem the fluffiest Legion for this, but it works for everyone! There's 4 Elite slots though. That's 12 conversion beamers. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332793-soh-armoured-spearhead-funsies-list/#findComment-4706879 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceiling_matt Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I would actually suggest you drop the multi meltas for havoc launchers, as well as drop the dozer blades of the tech marine rhinos, with the conversion beamer you're going to want to line them up in your backfield and never move them except to ensure you're getting the best beamer stats you can, ergo the melta isn't going to come in use while the HB or havoc launcher options allow you to stay as far away as possible. it also adds a bit dedicated anti infantry, if you're deadset on MM rhinos, I suggest you drop the beamer and add a pair of MM servitors instead, so they can snap out of the hatch along with the rhino's mm.

dankmemes Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 i would suggest having Executioner plasma destroyer on 1 of the Predators: S7 AP2, 3 blasts, very good anti infantry Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332793-soh-armoured-spearhead-funsies-list/#findComment-4709095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangaman Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 I just want to clarify that this is a "joke" list and is in no way meant to be competitive...BUT, I do wonder if 12 Conversion Beamers and 4 Heavy Conversion Beamers would make for a decent first turn of shooting. Over 48" and they are practically long range Vindicators. +++ #BeamerOnly (Warhammer 30,000 - The Horus Heresy v68) (2500pts) +++ ++ The Age of Darkness (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List v257) (2500pts) ++ + HQ (210pts) + Master of Armour (210pts) Legion Predator Tank [Armoured Ceramite, Havoc Launcher, Heavy Conversion Beamer, Lascannon Sponsons, Machine Spirit] + Elites (1440pts) + Techmarine Covenant (360pts) Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Techmarine Covenant (360pts) Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Techmarine Covenant (360pts) Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Techmarine Covenant (360pts) Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] Legion Techmarine [Conversion Beamer] Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier [Havoc Launcher] + Troops (400pts) + Legion Predator Strike Armoured Squadron (100pts) Legion Predator Tank [Dozer Blade, Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Predator Cannon] Legion Predator Strike Armoured Squadron (100pts) Legion Predator Tank [Dozer Blade, Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Predator Cannon] Legion Predator Strike Armoured Squadron (100pts) Legion Predator Tank [Dozer Blade, Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Predator Cannon] Legion Predator Strike Armoured Squadron (100pts) Legion Predator Tank [Dozer Blade, Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Predator Cannon] + Heavy Support (450pts) + Legion Predator Strike Armoured Squadron (450pts) Legion Predator Tank [Heavy Conversion Beamer, Lascannon Sponsons] Legion Predator Tank [Heavy Conversion Beamer, Lascannon Sponsons] Legion Predator Tank [Heavy Conversion Beamer, Lascannon Sponsons] + Legion + Rite of War [Armoured Breakthrough] Created with BattleScribe Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332793-soh-armoured-spearhead-funsies-list/#findComment-4709427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillum Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Joke list or not, this has gotten me thinking about the effectiveness of (heavy) conversion beamers. If you plonk a conversion beamer in the corner of a 2' x 6' table, they're best profile will be used on roughly half of it: - there'll be a 42" quarter circle that is using the lesser profiles (around 40% of the table) - there'll be a small amount out of range in the opposite corner. - all the rest is at S10 AP1. If you were to put a Predator in either corner of the board, you're going to have some nice overlap, where they cover each other. If you were to follow your idea and put 6 Forge Lords and 3 Predators in each corner... craziness! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332793-soh-armoured-spearhead-funsies-list/#findComment-4709678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangaman Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Predators are obviously the most cost effective for HCB but I suppose it could also work with Contemptors too if your Heavy slots are already maxed out.
