Swapped the Cenobium out with Deathwing Companions. I would add a thunderhammer but I dont want to cut up the resin lol

Swapped the Contemptor out with a meltacannon contemptor since I still have a few monopose ones left from BaC.

Destroyers do have jump packs

Not sure what kind of line I can add that has assault ability besides assault marines. Dropping a tac squad really only gives me enough points for a 10 man assault squad geared up with power fist and 2 axes and sgt with art armor. Is a ten man worth the effort?

 

Going to print up some tartaros and great swords. Weirdly enough battlescribe doesnt have Marduk capable of taking tartaros terminators as companions so I will have to finger fudge it I suppose

Stick a Herald with Marduk and the Companions. Line, Fear and Fearless is ridiculous value, plus you can make him the warlord to get around Marduks useless warlord trait. That gives you the aggressive Line unit and with 4 total Line units you are in playable territory. I would Drop the Dreadnought Pod to pay for him, with the new missions those things are too unreliable anyways

Hmm Now I am trying to figure out why Marduk can take a cataphract squad but not a tartaros squad of companions. Kind of annoying as I want the sweep and 5++ but dont want to waste time with shields and buying stupidly expensive companions in power armor. Gotta find a way to convert some dudes with greatswords. Thats annoying since I have a full box of cataphractii.

 

So I added the herald, 8 companions with 7 T-greatswords, all riding in a land raider.

I dropped the drop pod and given that it is now foot slogging, it is now duel wielding grav bombards.

Technically I don’t think he can take a cataphractii armor companion squad either as his armor is listed as ‘regalia of the shattered sceptre’ not standard cataphractii armor. This is a part of the tartaros & cataphractii terminator companions retinue rule they have. 

[Galron]

Thats why I just ended up giving him regular companions with great swords. Gotta find some good STL files to print since the GW set doesnt appear to come with a proper selection of wargear and I would have to convert them anyway.

Gloomy friends is the search term u want to put in

First Abaddon and now Marduk. What's with GeeDubs giving sweep to cataphractii fellas? Reminds me of the cenobites plasma overwatch back in 1.0 that had to be FAQ'd

Hello there =]

 

Have a question regarding the Unbroken Vow RoW.

 

The "limitation" with the additional objective left me with some questions:

 

- If either the mission demands, or i miself put an objective in the center of the table and objectives cannot be placed within 12" of another - RaW, it reads like i then put the additional objective anywhere (as close as possible) outside of 12" of the center objective.

So nothin is forcing me, to put it right towards my opponents deployment zone, right?

- this objective is also an objective one can score, as per mission objectives, right?

- so in a mission where you score for holding objectives, that are not specifically called out (like onslought objectives) - this would count for scoring, right?

 

Sorry if this has already been answered.

I just wanted clearence, since almost every DA player i've encountered seems to dismiss this RoW of the limitation and i can't see, why this has to be a negative?! =]

Have people made any decent experiences with Stormwing Breachers? I've usually defaulted to Stormwing tacticals in my Underworld Assault list, but with recent escalations in points locally, I've thought about replacing my 3 Tactical Stormwing squads in Drills with 3 Breacher Stormwing Squads in Drills.
