Ultra Stagnant Looking for Ultra Changes. What are your staple Reclmation Units?

[Prot]

At the risk of trying to come up with a clever title, what my true goal is to do some minor list changes.

 

My big issue has been I've been trying to avoid Gladius / Sword of Ultramar because I've been afraid of going to hard into some friends that aren't going to be able to handle it. 

 

The problem is some of the people I play are very competitive. Great people, but their lists do not pull any punches. What I've been doing is Reclamation force.

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

The staples I've been using are:

 

Titus + 10 Sternguard. (roasting elite OOM targets)

 

Calgar + I don't know... I switch between Hammer Termies, but I like him on the field for CP so I often put him in:

 

- Cato and 6 Victrix guard.

 

I have cut a new section out for "Fun" "new" stuff:

- 3 new Eradicators (hvy bltr)

- 2 new Speeders (fun with Fulgris detachment)

- 5 new Vanguard +1 new Chappy

- 1 new Standard bearer. (Goes with Titus and Sternguard for 5++)

 

The rest is I guess kind of standard: I tend to use a lot of armour:

- Lancer

- Landraider

- Repulsor

 

And the standard 5 Intercessors.

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Now that I see it, it's quite a mixed bag. I get a lot of mileage out of it. The problem I'm having is I haven't really changed it much at all, and I also feel... 'trapped'. Like if I get rid of my armour, I'm doomed. It does a LOT of heavy lifting and to be honest the infantry is the.. gimmick. Don't get me wrong Sternguard and Victrix can do a lot in the right circumstance, they don't typically get the job done though, probably because I'm armour heavy.

 

Many of my games end like: Close battle, I've pushed the opponent back by T3, very aggressive, then it falls apart a bit, but by T4 I usually have their armour down (or nearly gone) and I'm winning in points. I usually lose board control late game, but have enough points to win.

 

 

So there you go, there's my version of reclamation, and how I use it. I'm curious what everybody else is doing.... or maybe no one plays Reclamation...? I'd love to hear what's working for you, and if you've got your own staples.

Try putting Calgar in Shootinators.  Calgar wants to be in a unit that shoots and fights because he gives Superdoctrine to the unit he leads. He can also still join Aggressors if you want to go that route - but I like the idea of him leading 10 Shooty Termies too.  Add a Terminator Ancient wtih the Scrolls of Proclamation.  Move, Advance, Shoot with +1 to hit, Charge, Reroll charge, Punch Everything better with +1 to the hit roll.

 

Try A Libby+Apothecary leading+supporting 10 Hellblasters.  Give them a 4++ and zombie returns when they overcharge.

 

Try Tiggy and some Bladeguard.

 

Try Guilliman surrounded by infiltrators led by a Phobos Libby.  Pretty good Area Denial against anything smaller and/or slower than a Chaos Primarch. 

 

Try going almost full BATTLE LINE in a Bastion Det.  Swap everything.  Now Calgar and his Termies and all BATTLE LINE units have SUPERDOCTRINE and your mobility/activity goes through the roof.

 

I had a wild list that won't work anymore now that Devs are gone but it had 3 Apothecaries, a Biologis, 3 Libbies, 2 Libbies in Phobos Armor, and a Libby in Terminator armor, A Captain in Gravis Armor, 3 Dev Squads, some Eliminators, Firestrikes, and a Terminator Squad in Anvil Seige Force and Librarius Conclave.  Super unusual and wonky.
