Halfpint100 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Have a tournament coming up at the local gaming club and i want to make a strange guard list that will be entertaining to both play/ with and against, but doesn't need to be competitive. My question to B&C, give me a theme to make a 1k tournament list, i usually gun cadian gunlines/ soup with assassins and inquisitors so want something the guys haven't seen me play with. Hope you lot can help make something fun! walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 What models do you have available? Something different could be a lot of things, what about heavily mechanised as something more mobile? Halfpint100 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inso Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 That list has some great 'recon platoon' possibilities. Chimeras with troops in (plus a character or two), supported by hellhounds / russes. A little mechanised column out scouting around :) Halfpint100, Henimann, librisrouge and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'm Heckus Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Armored convoy: Armageddon list. Everything in transports. Some sentinel outriders. Make little trucker hats out of green putty. Tactic: moved forward every turn regardless of the actual mission. Halfpint100 and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I like the sound of that, plus Hellhounds are great :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Seeing as I can't find a benefit in running one in 8th I'd be curious to see how a mech guard army goes. Similar to the mech vet of 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint100 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Yer I was thinking steel legion. With the relic power sword and steel legion warlord trait, he will always try an kill the opponents warlord in close combat every game shandwen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qorbane Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 At 1000pts and Cadian.. armored company 5 leman russ Tanks one of them a Tank Commander. All with sponson Heavy Bolters all with lascannon cannons in the hull. The traditional Battle cannons go all is good... better for Catacans... but a punnisher and maybe one of the cannons that ignor cover would be good. Mess with points a bit.. maybe a plasma cannon or two can be gained off hand cannot remember. I rolled a list like this at a 1000pts Tourney and did not get beat or even close to it. But you will have to deal with a bunch of sour pusses if you do it. Option two starts with a Shadow Sword and adds I. A bunch of troops with Mortors and 3 company commanders with power fists it’s basic and funny to watch peeps squirm while starring at a Shadow Sword.

zero88 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I say go Armageddon Armor as well. I was bored on Battlescribe and for 1001 points you can get a Battallion with: 2x CC 3x Plasma gun and pistol Infantry squads 3x HB/HB, Storm Bolter Chimeras 2x Barebones Hellhounds 2x Barebones LRBTs It's probably not super optimal and competitive but that's 7 tanks on the field in a 1000 point list, so I'm sure it can still cause it's fair share of mischief. I love your idea of the CC commander. With the relic sword, the specific Armegeddon WL trait, and a priest nearby he can put quite a dent in most characters. duz_ and Halfpint100 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooo a priest is a good call, 5 str 5 attacks ws3+, +1 to wound at -4 d3. He will be fun! duz_ and librisrouge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman2160 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 You could also use the cyclops' to lead out your column. Exploding when they make contact with the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
