Donnodouglas Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Want to experiment with a list that I think is fluffy, traitor survivors of istaan betrayal, lots of dreads with heavy support squads backing them up and some tactical blob I haven't played a game of 30k but I've tossed around some list ideas.

Fangbanger Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hey and welcome to the Heresy! A great theme, love Istvaan and lots of boots on the ground. From a tactical point of view, there's a few things to look out for. Obviously this might vary depending on who you will be playing with but will go over based on how I see most armies at this points level... Food slogging: great for theme and if you face similar, but at 3.5k I'd expect lords or war like typhons, whirlwind Scorpios, thudd guns, medusa... all template weapons that can delete units in 1 shot so watch for this. The preator and grave wardens do not want to walk, they are close range and so need a transport to get there fast, same for the melta dreads ideally but I see you are in a talon. The preator should also have a paragon blade. It's a bit clichè, but that's because it's so good. besides the wardens have plenty of fists. Range... I'd quite like some long range fire firepower to help turn 1. Deredeo will do a bit, but some Medusa cannons would fit well here too maybe. Heavy weapons... Autocannons cool, but maybe switch 1 unit to missiles for a bit more punch and light tank hunting too. I think it ultimately comes down to what you will be up against. Footslogging is super cool, yet not if your opponent is on a different page and brings lots or artillery or av14 which this kind of list would struggle against Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342092-death-guard-the-reaping-3500/#findComment-4955981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel I don't really need the grave wardens and the multi melts mortis, plus 3 leviathans is abit much so I've adjusted the list.
