Jings Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 For the infantry end of things, I'd cut down your Battalion to 6 units of troops and run the remaining Las/Plas into SWS/HWS or Vets. Special Weapon Squads are pretty good value and the most cost-effective way of getting Melta/Plasma into a list. You want some Melta too probably. This is assuming you have the models handy, of course. If you don't, more tweaks may be necessary. As for the tanks, have only the Russes in the Spearhead in order to give your Russes ObSec (makes them troops, effectively). If your Russes are magnetized (or you don't mind breaking out the saw/proxying), maybe look at running some variants (Demolishers and Punishers are always fun, the Executioner also has good damage output) - particularly on your Tank Commanders. Have 2 of the Russes in one unit, as there's now a Rule of 3 where you can only have 3 max of a unit in an army list. They'll still be able to operate independently, but it means your list would be legal. I'd also probably up the list to 2K because 1850 has fallen out of style in recent editions. Gives you room for more Special Weapons Squads for suicide Plasma/Melta. Command Squads are also useful for these sorts of suicide units. Even if this brings you over, probably won't hurt to cut down the Infantry squads as 4 (6? Unsure if the Commanders get it) ObSec Russes and 4 squads will be fine holding objectives.

BIG ROB OF DEATH Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I played a little in 8th ed, but only a very few times in 9th ed so far, so I am not really up on current events, so to say. Still, for what its worth, some indirect artillery just seems uniquely useful. Do you like basilisks/manticores?

librisrouge Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 You need another HQ in your battalion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371481-1850-infantry-and-tank-list/#findComment-5736686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchmp Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I think the guards men squads should come out to 70 points, am I wrong? Anyway I like the list. How do the LRBT do? I only use the Tank Commanders and the rest of my tanks are manticores, basilisks and hellhounds.
