Phobos Themed Armies

[SyNidus]

With the release of the Ravenstrike box, it's got me thinking. Is there any way of using a primarily/fully phobos army in a viable way? 

I'm thinking of picking up the space marines Combat Patrol as a starting point and expanding from there.

A Phobos only project is something I'm working on at the moment too! Well to an extent.

My only inclusions to the army are Phobos models, Primaris Vehicles and MKX/Firstborn units that I can convert into Phobos. For example, I have ideas for Bladeguard Vets, Hellblasters and Vanguard Vets using Phobos models and conversions.

 

The main problem true Phobos only armies will have is that there are very few Phobos units that do any "Heavy Lifting". The unit pool has an abundance of S4 dmg1 weapons but have few Anti-Tank or Anti-MEQ/TEQ outside of Warsuits and Lasfusils, so you may need to lean on them for damage dealing

I run a Phobos/ Scout Company not super effective but definitely sneaky.  Like TC says you'll need other things to do heavy lifting like a Gladiator Lancer

Yes this must be done...
