Spiritual Liege Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The list is probably pretty bad, but it would look hectic and is fluffy as hell. Its supposed to represent their scout company (was it 9th Fellowship?) with Amon and Ammitara Occult Here's the list: - Magistus Amon - Rapier battery: 2x laser destroyer, Corvidae - Legion veterans: Rhino, asphyx shells, brotherhood ML1 divination, 2x heavy bolter w/suspensor web, Sergeant with artificer and power axe, Corvidae - Legion recon squad: 5x sniper rifle, cameleoline, Corvidae - Legion recon squad: 5x sniper rifle, cameleoline, Corvidae - Legion recon squad: 5x sniper rifle, cameleoline, Corvidae - Ammitara Occult Intercession Cabal: 10 Ammitara, 8x sniper rifle, 2x plasma gun, Corvidae - Land speeder squadron: 2x speeder, 2x graviton gun, 2x multimelta - Land speeder squadron: 2x speeder, 2x graviton gun, 2x multimelta, 4x hunter killer missile - Fire raptor gunship: reaper battery, 4x hellstrike missiles - Sicaran venator: dozer blade, twin linked bolter - Rite of War: Legion recon company So, is it how bad? Venator outflanks with Amon's rule, Amon joins the Ammitara, Ammitara, Fire raptor and Veterans take care of infantry, Recons just sit on objectives and try to do something with snipers and Land speeders and Venator take care of armor.

1000 Sons Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Don't think rapier battery dudes get legion bonus, their rules are just legion astartes, not legion astartes (legion name). Does look like a fun list though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333305-stupid-2k-thousand-sons-recon-company/#findComment-4725129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritual Liege Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm pretty sure they have LA(TS), as do every generic unit with legiones astartes in the detachment. Legion recon squad has legiones astartes, not legiones astartes (Thousand Sons) in their profile. Legion veterans have legiones astartes, not legiones astartes (Thousand Sons) in their profile. Correct me if im wrong, but I'm quite sure I'm not.

SockMonkey Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Looks fun, I'm really thinking if getting some jetbikes for my tsons. I'd like to try and make some "disc speeders" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333305-stupid-2k-thousand-sons-recon-company/#findComment-4725472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritual Liege Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 I would love to get some jetbikes too, I just can't afford them :/ They would look beautiful in TS colors. Legion Praetor with command squad on jetbikes would be awesome and would kick ass on the table.

Spiritual Liege Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Now a 2,5k edition with some changes, primarily dropping the Fire raptor, rapiers and veterans and getting some Lightnings and Seekers in there. - Amon - Recon squad: 10 marines, shotguns, Rhino - Recon squad: 5 marines, sniper rifles, cameleoline - Recon squad: 5 marines, sniper rifles, cameleoline - Ammitara Occult: 10 Ammitara, 8 sniper rifles, 2 plasma guns - Land speeder squadron: 4 speeders, 4 graviton guns, 4 multi-meltas, 6 hunter-killer missiles - Seeker squad: 8 marines, Land Raider Proteus, explorator augury web, turret TL lascannon, dozer blade, armored ceramite - Sky Slayer squad: 5 jetbikes, volkite culverins - Sub-orbital strike wing: 2 Lightning strike fighters, (4 kraken missiles, ground tracking auguries, battle servitor control) x2 The list is truly the destroyer of wallets, luckily I can get some alternative jetbikes from 3rd party companies and I can convert a Lightning from a Dark Talon and Proteus from a regular Raider. How does it look? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333305-stupid-2k-thousand-sons-recon-company/#findComment-4732038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Legionnaire Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I like it. Two Lightnings should solve certain AV 14 issues for sure. You've got reserve manipulation and a nice spread of units suitable for a Recon Company and also enough scoring units.

Spiritual Liege Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 It seems like it's happening then :) I'll probably drop the jetbikes and get something instead, they are just so god damn expensive, legit or otherwise. What would be suitable to replace them? A Fire Raptor, perhaps? Also how to model Ammitara? I'm sure I want some hooded heads with them, but what models to use as base? Also Thousand Sons sneaking in their bright red armor would just look stupid :D I mean, of course they use some kind of psychic gimmick to shroud themselves but should I paint at least the Recons in darker, non metallic red or something?
