Droz_64 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm trying to make a fluffy ZM list for the War Hounds, as my 2019 project is to make a small, lore accurate force for them. This is supposed to represent a boarding party or the like. Is there anything I need to change? I'd like to win some games, but not be broken or underpowered. Here's the list: ++ Zone Mortalis - Combatant (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List) [1000pts] ++ + Elites + Apothecarion Detachment [55pts] . Apothecary, Legion: Artificer Armour . . Chainsword or Combat Blade: Combat Blade + HQ + Praetor, Legion [185pts]: Artificer Armour, Digital Lasers, Iron Halo, Mastercraft a Single Weapon, On Foot, Paragon Blade, Volkite Serpenta + Troops + Breacher Siege Squad, Legion [230pts]: 9x Breacher Siege Space Marines, Legion . Additional Wargear: 2x Flamer . Breacher Siege Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Bolter Tactical Squad, Legion , Compulsory [230pts]: 14x Tactical Space Marines, Legion . Additional Wargear: Additional Chainswords/Combat Blades . Standard Wargear: Bolters . Tactical Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Bolter, Power Fist + Heavy Support + Leviathan Siege Dreadnought Talon [300pts] . Leviathan Siege Dreadnought: Heavy Flamer, Heavy Flamer, Leviathan Siege Drill, Leviathan Storm Cannon, Phosphex Discharger + Allegiance + Legion and Allegiance: Loyalist . XII: World Eaters: Bloodlust Rite of War: Zone Mortalis Assault Force ++ Total: [1000pts] ++ Created with BattleScribe Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353068-war-hounds-1k-zm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritual Liege Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 A Leviathan at 1000pt Zone Mortalis will surely ruin an unprepared opponent's day. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353068-war-hounds-1k-zm/#findComment-5233198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykes Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Aye, Spiritual Liege has got it... at 1K that's gonna be a bad day with Praetor, Apothecary, and especially that Levvy. Oye. Not "bad" just, man, I'll admit I'd be blinking. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353068-war-hounds-1k-zm/#findComment-5233299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsam Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Phosphex Leviathan dread at 1k? Harsh. It isn't the beardiest list, but it's hardly fun for the opponent.

Droz_64 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Should I run 2 Contemptor Cortus dreads instead? I'd probably run both with Kheres cannons, or maybe one with plasma.

Spiritual Liege Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 What? Contemptors with shooting weapons in the XII, even as War Hounds? Get them some melee weapons real quick.

Vykes Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The acceptable one would be a fist full of bullets or a pocket full of plasma... IE, claws, chainclaws, and whatever you want to cradle in the palm of their blood soaked hands! That's what Contemptor Cortus do! Although, I seem to recall the first colour plate in Betrayal with a World Eater Contemptor Mortis with dual kheres, but Contemptor-Cortus with close combat weapons in ZM just feels like pure unadulturated glee.

Droz_64 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 So take dual Contemptor-Cortus dreads, with CCWs/Chainfists, and then maybe give the breacher sarge a melee weapon (Caedere or PFist probably) Edit: And thanks to all of you guys for the help with the list. I really appreciate it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353068-war-hounds-1k-zm/#findComment-5233722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykes Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 If you want to go with a really fluffy ZM breacher sergeant addition, why not Breaching Charges? I mean, it's one of the weirder and more quirky options. If you don't mind a bit of a modeling suggestion, I'd plan for the dual close combat weapon contemptor (at least 1), but you can always sink in some magnets and magnetize it for other weapon options if you plan to take it to a larger battle field.

Droz_64 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 I may magnetize it, but I think dual CCW dreads have a place in a normal list, and for shootier options, I could always do a Contemptor Mortis or a Deredeo Here's the slightly revised, and less brutal to play against version: ++ Zone Mortalis - Combatant (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List) [1000pts] ++ + Elites + Apothecarion Detachment [55pts] . Apothecary, Legion: Artificer Armour . . Chainsword or Combat Blade: Combat Blade Contemptor-Cortus Class Dreadnought Talon [270pts] . Cortus Dreadnought . . Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon: Twin-linked Bolter . . Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon: Twin-linked Bolter . Cortus Dreadnought . . Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon: Twin-linked Bolter . . Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon: Twin-linked Bolter + HQ + Praetor, Legion [200pts]: Archaeotech Pistol, Artificer Armour, Digital Lasers, Iron Halo, Mastercraft a Single Weapon, On Foot, Thunder Hammer + Troops + Breacher Siege Squad, Legion [245pts]: 9x Breacher Siege Space Marines, Legion . Additional Wargear: 2x Flamer . Breacher Siege Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Bolter, Power Fist Tactical Squad, Legion , Compulsory [230pts]: 14x Tactical Space Marines, Legion . Additional Wargear: Additional Chainswords/Combat Blades . Standard Wargear: Bolters . Tactical Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Bolter, Power Fist + Allegiance + Legion and Allegiance: Loyalist . XII: World Eaters: Bloodlust Rite of War ++ Total: [1000pts] ++ Created with BattleScribe EDIT: I'm using the ZM Assault Force RoW, so the breachers are harder to kill. Also, fluff question - Would the Triarii (And more importantly, Delvarus), have existed pre-Angron? I might model the Praetor after Delvarus in that case.
