Butthammer Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Hello gents!! Coming back to the game once again and I come to you for some good advice!! I will be facing again my eldar friend whose list I don't know. Here is the list: Tempestus bat (Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition) [92 PL, 16CP, 1,492pts] Battalion Detachment +5CP (Imperium - Astra Militarum) Selections: 55th Kappic Eagles, Astra Millitarum HQ Tempestor Prime Selections: Tempestus Command Rod Tempestor Prime Selections: Hot-shot Laspistol Troops Militarum Tempestus Scions 5x Scion Selections: 5x Frag & Krak grenades, 5x Hot-shot Lasgun Scion w/ Special Weapon x4 Selections: Hot-shot Volley Gun Tempestor Selections: Chainsword, Hot-shot Laspistol Militarum Tempestus Scions 5x Scion Selections: 5x Frag & Krak grenades, 5x Hot-shot Lasgun 4x scions with plasma Tempestor Selections: Chainsword, Hot-shot Laspistol Militarum Tempestus Scions 5x Scion Selections: 5x Frag & Krak grenades, 5x Hot-shot Lasgun Scion w/ Special Weapon x 4 Selections: Meltagun Tempestor Selections: Chainsword, Hot-shot Laspistol Flyer Valkyries Valkyrie Selections: 2x Multiple Rocket Pods, Lascannon Battalion Detachment +5CP (Imperium - Astra Militarum) Battle-forged CP Selections: Regiment: Catachan Stratagems Specialist Detachment Selections: Emperor's Fist Tank Company HQ Tank Commander Selections: Battle Cannon, Emperor's Fist, Lascannon, Relic (Emperor's Fist): Hammer of Sunderance Tank Commander Selections: Emperor's Fist, Heavy Bolter, Heavy Bolters, Storm Bolter, Turret-mounted Punisher Gatling Cannon Troops Infantry Squadx3 Elites Astropath Selections: Laspistol Astropath Selections: Laspistol Battalion Detachment +5CP (Imperium - Astra Militarum) Configuration Selections: Regiment: Catachan Stratagems Specialist Detachment Selections: Emperor's Wrath Artillery Company HQ Company Commander Selections: Chainsword, Laspistol, Warlord, WT: Grand Strategist Company Commander Selections: Chainsword, Laspistol Troops Infantry Squadx3 Heavy Support Basilisks Basilisk Selections: Heavy Bolter Manticore Selections: Full Payload, Heavy Bolter Basically, guard sits in the back and scions alpha strike (Valkyrie with melts or hot shot volley guns squads depending on what I need to kill first). Other squads deep strike. I am really wondering if I should use a different regiment from kappic eagles (only Valkyrie squad will get + 1 to hit and only hot shot volley squad will use heavy weapons with no penalty), for instance +6" to hit with rapid fire Don't know what to do with remaining 8 points. I am flexible with everything (regiments, relics, traits....) Even wanted to use armoured sentinels but I don't know what to remove. Only limitation is I only have 1 flyer. I still feel like this list does not use synergies very well so I gladly take your advice. Thanks for the tips in advance!!

duz_ Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Seems like it can put out a lot of damageI've never run max squads of Scions (ever?) but will be curious to see how you go with them especially if theres decent terrain for them to camp in Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364483-1500-pts-of-guard-and-scions/#findComment-5541747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
