Lord Clinto Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 With the glow-up to Intercessors and the buff to Oath I'm just curious: has anyone used a full Codex Company list; and if so, with any success? Gladius Task Force 1 Captain (Warlord) - leading 1 4-man Company Heroes 1 Lieutenant (leading one of the squads below) - alternatively swappable with an Apothecary, Chaplain, Librarian, etc... 6 10-man Intercessors (6 "Tactical" units) 2 10-man Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (2 "Assault" units) 2 10-man Hellblasters (2 "Devastator" units) 106 Marines / 1980 points TheNicronomicon 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385468-full-codex-company-list/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNicronomicon Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 In casual game? Could be fun! If I were gonna play with the Company idea I might prefer to do it in Crusade: hard limit of 115 bodies (to include scouts and officers) and grow it from a 500 point seed to a full Company, including vehicles and dreads Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385468-full-codex-company-list/#findComment-6099368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Clinto Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Yes, casual; but I meant in a regular game, not crusade. I've recently have had good games with an almost all infantry SW list (2 10-man WGTerm, 1 15-man Blood Claws, 1 10-man Assault Intercessors, 6-man Lascannon Long Fangs, 2 5-man FWolves, 8-9 characters) and was curious to see peoples thoughts on a full vanilla company list in a game.

jpwyrm Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 That is actually quite impressive. Something tells me you would benefit from splitting some of these units into 5-man "combat squads", like one each Hellblasters and Assault Intercessors with jump packs should be split to cover more ground. Maybe one or two Intercessors units too, so you have smaller unit you can dedicate to Actions. Honour Vehement on the Captain and it looks like you're golden. This might even be better in Stormlance since everything that wants to shoot already has Assault, so you'd basically always have the benefit of Devastator and Assault Doctrine. And Sustained Hit 1 on Hellblasters is always nice! Plus flat 6" reactive move instead of d6" most of the time...

Moonstalker Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I have been building toward something similar, though I have very few games in 10th ed and all of them are 500 point Boarding Actions. The 2k list I'm building/painting toward is: GTF Captain Lt (or other support character - leaning toward Techmarine) Command Squad 2x5 Assault Intercessors 2x5 Intercessors 1x5 Jump Pack Assault Intercessors 1x5 Infiltrators 1x5 Sternguard 1x5 Terminators 1x10 Hellblasters 2x5 Devastators (one squad with lascannons, one squad with grav guns) Land Raider 2 Predators (Annihilator or Destructor with las sponsons) =66 Marines + an armor squadron at 2k points I keep an eye on /r/WarhammerCompetitive even though I'm pretty firmly a casual gamer/mostly hobbyist at this point. But I like to try and keep up with what is going on, so I understand what I'm getting myself into. There have been some Black Templar lists that went infantry heavy that did well competitively. Nothing quite to the scale of throwing down 100 marines. Mobility and killing power will be struggles. A lot of armies keep an eye toward being able to kill the marine stat line efficiently. Many competitive lists take as few Battleline units as they can get away with, as Battleline tends to lack killing power. It's not all bad, though. You have a ton of OC to throw around, you can try to just swamp objectives and win that way. By including no vehicles, you're a skew list - if people did not bring enough plasma/heavy bolter/etc fire to take out a lot of marines, they'll struggle, and their anti-tank weapons are going to be killing marines incredibly inefficiently. 10 man squads are fluff-appropriate, but I agree with jpwyrm and would go one further to say that most of your squads should be 5 mans. In 10th edition, at least, wargear is free, and every squad you split 10 to 5 is one more sergeant you get to equip with shiny stuff. I have my Hellblasters arranged into a 10 man squad with the intent of sticking them in the Land Raider with the Lt to go delete something. In a casual game I think it'd work alright. I don't think it's an auto-loss, but it might be an uphill battle - depending on how casual your opponent is, or the specific matchup.

Lord Clinto Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Besides the fluff aspect the only issue with splitting, as you two suggest, is the Rule of 3 (6 battleline). And, again as you two suggest, splitting one A.I.w/JP & one H.B. unit would still adhere.

Brother Carpenter Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Love how you combined both older and newer models. Should be a force to look at on the table.
