Gridlock Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Rites of War Last of the serrated Sun HQ Argel Tal – 240 Troops Gal Vorbak squad 275 5 Dark Brethren - 275 Gal Vorbak squad 275 5 Dark Brethren - 275 Legion Assault Squad - 145 Artificer Armour - 10 Legion Assault Squad - 145 Artificer Armour - 10 Elites Mhara gal Dreadnought -240 Heavy Support. Legion Heavy Support Squad 100 Artificer armour – 10 2000 Since the Word Bearers are a close combat legion so each troop choice is geared towards just that. Also since i heard that as a rule of thumb you need one Line Troop for each 500 point i went with 4. Now i am not sure whether or not i actually need 2x10 Gal Vorbaks or if 2x5 is more than enough. However i thought without dedicated transports, i need every last one to make sure they can withstand any firepower from the opponents. The Mhara Gal Dreadnought and the heavy support SquadIs left to take care of tanks and other such stuff. I am completely new to 30k and i haven´t played 40k either for a LONG time (i think last i played was around the time of the first Necron codex).So any advice on improvements on this list would be appreciated.

jaxom Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I think dropping 5 Gal Vorbak to free up points for unit upgrades and a Librarian (if it can be afforded) would be worthwhile. Grab some lascannons or missile launchers for the heavy support squad, lightning claws or a powerfist for the Assault Squad sergeants, and a gravis-lascannon for the Mhara Gal dreadnought. The unit upgrades will help against tanks. Why a Librarian over a Chaplain or a Diabolist? Take the Telepathy discipline and the power which lets you Pin units. You don't want the unit Argel Tal and his Gal Vorbak are charging to use a Reaction. I'd run one squad of 10 Gal Vorbak and a second squad of 5, because Argel Tal can only give one unit an invulnerable save. darkseren1ty 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/375314-a-test-2k-word-bears-army-any-advice-on-improving-it/#findComment-5854613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
