Aurellius Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Idea being arcus, scorpius and quad mortars take on armour and troops Gal vorbak in spartan to get up in your face along with the outflanking vets Plasma gun squad might take one of the rhinos from the vets to get forward and kill key units The troop squad acts as bodyguards for praetor and centurion Termies can walk forward as bullet magnets And contemptor mortis can deal with flyers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347223-need-tournament-list-help-word-bearers-2500-points/#findComment-5080323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritual Liege Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 A lot of unnecessary stuff. I honestly don't see any point in taking the Centurion or those min sized Veterans with power weapons in Rhinos. Ditch Pride of the Legion and just get Tacticals instead or drop the Tacs and get 10 man sized shooty Veterans. Also why would you ever put a Praetor with Tacticals when you have Gal Vorbak in a Spartan? Tactical support squad needs a Rhino. And why take those footslogging Terminators? Just a point sink with no real value.

Argel Tal Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 You have to take a second hq centurion or chap as WB requirement but yes all the rest I agree with spiritual liege play as pride for all your troops. Vets are very powerful these days (maybe too much) and maybe a bit more gal vorbak to fully use the big capacity of the spartan Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347223-need-tournament-list-help-word-bearers-2500-points/#findComment-5082178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritual Liege Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Ah, I forgot the WB requirement. But even then, a Chaplain would be more useful.

Argel Tal Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Zardu Layak is quite good for this '. He is a chaplain and can use cursed earth to buff the gal vorbak. A very good hq but quite fragile cause only 2 wounds Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347223-need-tournament-list-help-word-bearers-2500-points/#findComment-5082970 Share on other sites More sharing options...
