Charlo 40k Doubles List-hammer

[Charlo]

Decided to not detract from my WIP thread to go over my list for the 40k Doubles in a couple weeks.

 

Essentially, I'm bringing my new Knights which are:

• 2 Armiger Warglaives OR 1 Warglaive/ Helverin
• 1 Knight of any codex loadout (+ Styrix)

Depending on loadout, I still have a fair chunk of points to burn!

 

I'm playing with my buddy who has Necrons, his army based around a few big blobs of warriors, some Crypteks and Deathmarks. So our general game-plan is he shoots the little things I punch the big ones.

 

Currently I'm leaning towards the following:

 

HOUSE KRAST - SHD - 721pts

• 2 Warglaive with Meltaguns
• 1 Gallant with Meltagun, Thunderstrike Relic. WT: Landstrider/ Ion Bulwark

This leaves me with 279pts to play with and really, I need a Battalion of something for the 5CP (which would bring our team total to 11CP).

 

So using models I do have gives me the below Ad Mech Battalion to generate CP and hold down some Objectives:

 

METALLICA DOGMA - Battalion - 279pts

• 2 Techpriest Enginseers
• 5 Skitarii Vanguard
• 5 Skitarii Vanguard
• 10 Skitarii Vanguard with 3 Arc Rifle, Enhanced Data-Tether, Arc Pistol & Arc Maul

So this gives me 10 Vanguard to run at the mid field, 2 priests to repair any knights for a wound if I go second and two min squads of Vanguard to hold the backfield.

 

Thoughts?

 

While I probably don't have time to paint anything new (about 10 evenings...), I'm entertaining the idea at the moment to give me some theme. I'm not experienced with ASTRA MILITARUM or TEMPESTUS SCIONS or the like, but if you had to build a Battalion of Imperium faction for 279pts - what would you include?

 

I'm disallowing the Guard Relic + Battery though obviously, as I don't want to be a cheesemonger PLUS the Knight is the Warlord here ;)

I got nothin' buddy :/

 

I've spent some time trying to squeeze in either an extra Gallant while keeping the battalion, or taking three for a legal for CP SHD.

 

I did failed :/ - needs about another 60 points which it just doesn't seem possible to free up.

 

I think for 1000, you're pretty close to optimal with what you've got. Even if you took a min guard Battalion (180 points), you don't really have enough left over for anything terribly game changing.

 

I guess just add 'toys' to your units :)
