Moonstalker Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Haven't played since the very beginning of 8th, though I've kept my toes in the hobby side. With my new job, I'm looking to start delving back in. Not looking to win any tournaments, but I'd like to put together a list that's at least 50/50 in friendly games. To that end, before I spend any (more) money, any C&C to help me shore things up in what should be an all-rounder list is welcome. My Chapter is a sect of Loyalist Luna Wolves who volunteered for the Primaris program after the Heresy, and who have been awoken from stasis after the long millennia with new gene-brothers to fight beside. As such, I want to capture a 30k feel by bringing a lot of infantry. What I've put together so far looks like: Captain Honor Vehement, Warlord, Pfist + Neo-volkite Librarian Fire Discipline, FW, Smite, SB 5x Assault Intercessors THammer + Hand Flamer 5x Assault Intercessors THammer + Hand Flamer 5x Intercessors Pfist + Bolt Rifle, AGL 5x Intercessors Pfist + Bolt Rifle, AGL Company Heroes (Captain Goes Here) 5x Devastators 4 Lascannons, Powersword + Plasma Pistol 5x Devastators 4 Grav Cannons, Powersword + Plasma Pistol 5x Hellblasters 5x Hellblasters 5x Infiltrators Helix Gauntlet 5x Infiltrators Helix Gauntlet 5x Terminators 2x pfist + SB, sergeant with power weapon + sb, 1x pfist + ac, 1x cfist + sb Plan is to use HH weapons sprue to kitbash some Intercessors into Devastators, with volkites standing in for grav weapons. I had considered a variant of this list with 2 Pred Annihilators (using the Deimos-pattern models) instead of the Devastators, though I am worried that's perhaps not enough of a critical mass of armor and they might get shut down a little too easily?

Paladin777 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 At first glance I was kinda dubious, but you just might have enough bodies to make something happen! XD I genuinely don't know how a list like this would do! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380988-1500-foot-horde/#findComment-5998508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstalker Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) I typed this up very quickly before I went to work; forgot to mention that the Lib would be a Terminator Lib, and would obviously slot in with the TDA squad. Was also looking at Gladius for the detachment as I thought the movement bonuses it offers would be useful to a list that lacks any transports, but Anvil Siege Force may help with what I perceive as possibly a lack of hard-hitting firepower, or Vanguard Spearhead could help keep my Hellblasters/Devastators from getting picked off before they can shoot? Edit: Since I'm not terribly concerned with competitiveness, expansion toward 2k would likely involve a Kratos and other Legends'd units, but they'd be fair game for this point level, too.

Tokugawa Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I think you should pick BT rules pack, as BT have biggest (20 men PCS) and cheapest(5 OG marines, 65pts, 1 heavy weapon) foot slogging unit. Many of your current old/30k models could be used without mass proxy.

Many of your current old/30k models could be used without mass proxy. While BT do have their draws (fielding Legion-sized 'tactical' squads being among them), I don't want to lock myself off from Librarians, or to only using the BT detachment. Similarly, this is more of a hobby project that I would like to be functional in game, so I am not really concerned about reusing old models; some of my old 30k models might make the jump (WW Scorpius, Deimos Pred Destructor, Contemptor-Mortis) to the new army, but with the lore I have created for the chapter I would like to avoid any firstborn infantry and present an entirely Primaris force. I know Devastators are still supposedly firstborn, but their stats are Primaris equivalent now, and using Intercessor bodies for them and HH heavy weapons shouldn't be an issue. Since I mentioned it earlier, here is the version of the list with Predators instead of the Devastators. CHARACTER Captain (90pts) • 1x Artificer Armour • 1x Warlord • 1x Pistol and Melee Weapon • 1x Power Fist • 1x Neo-volkite Pistol Librarian in Terminator Armour (90pts) • 1x The Honour Vehement • 1x Force Weapon • 1x Smite • 1x Storm Bolter BATTLELINE Assault Intercessor Squad (80pts) • 1x Assault Intercessor Sergeant • 1x Hand Flamer • 1x Thunder Hammer • 4x Assault Intercessors • 4x Astartes Chainsword • 4x Heavy Bolt Pistol Assault Intercessor Squad (80pts) • 1x Assault Intercessor Sergeant • 1x Hand Flamer • 1x Thunder Hammer • 4x Assault Intercessors • 4x Astartes Chainsword • 4x Heavy Bolt Pistol Intercessor Squad (85pts) • 1x Astartes Grenade Launcher • 5x Intercessors • 5x Bolt Pistol • 5x Bolt Rifle • 1x Power Fist • 4x Close Combat Weapon Intercessor Squad (85pts) • 1x Astartes Grenade Launcher • 5x Intercessors • 5x Bolt Pistol • 5x Bolt Rifle • 1x Power Fist • 4x Close Combat Weapon OTHER DATASHEETS Company Heroes (95pts) • 1x Ancient • 1x Company Champion • 1x Company Veteran w/ Bolt Rifle • 1x Company Veteran w/ Heavy Bolter Hellblaster Squad (125pts) • 5x Hellblasters • 5x Close Combat Weapon • 5x Plasma Incinerator • 1x Bolt Pistol Hellblaster Squad (125pts) • 5x Hellblasters • 5x Close Combat Weapon • 5x Plasma Incinerator • 1x Bolt Pistol Infiltrator Squad (100pts) • 1x Helix Gauntlet • 5x Infiltrators • 5x Marksman Bolt Carbine • 5x Bolt Pistol • 5x Close Combat Weapon Infiltrator Squad (100pts) • 1x Helix Gauntlet • 5x Infiltrators • 5x Marksman Bolt Carbine • 5x Bolt Pistol • 5x Close Combat Weapon Terminator Squad (185pts) • 1x Terminator Sergeant • 1x Storm Bolter • 1x Power Weapon • 1x Terminator w/ Chain Fist • 1x Storm Bolter • 1x Chainfist • 1x Terminator w/ Heavy Weapon • 1x Assault Cannon • 1x Power Fist • 2x Terminator w/ Power Fist • 2x Power Fist • 2x Storm Bolter Predator Annihilator (130pts) • 1x Armoured Tracks • 1x Hunter Killer Missile • 1x Predator Twin Lascannon • 1x 2 Lascannons • 2x Lascannon Predator Annihilator (130pts) • 1x Armoured Tracks • 1x Hunter Killer Missile • 1x Predator Twin Lascannon • 1x 2 Lascannons • 2x Lascannon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380988-1500-foot-horde/#findComment-5999222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
