spu00sed Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 So after talking about the destroyer squads I thought about a pure scorched earth army. My thoughts turned to death guard and the following 2500pts Mortarion Centurion Moritat Dual plasma pistols, artificer armour Centurion Moritat Dual plasma pistols, artificer armour Centurion Moritat Dual plasma pistols, artificer armour 10 man destroyer squad 2 rad missile launchers, 1 phospex bomb 10 man destroyer squad 2 rad missile launchers, 1 phospex bomb 10 man destroyer squad 2 rad missile launchers, 1 phospex bomb 13 man tacitical squad Combi flamer, chem munitions 13 man tacitical squad Combi flamer, chem munitions 6 man support squad Flamers, chem munitions 6 man support squad Flamers, chem munitions 5 man heavy support squad Heavy flamers, chem munitions, hardened armour As long as the enemy doesn’t bring armour they can bring some pain. 4 scoring units, 6 rad missiles, 6 chain firing plasma pistols and a primarch. I just wish Primarchs had a version of smash to deal with tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkyHamHam Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Moritats cannot be taken as your compulsory HQ choice. And since Mortarion counts as a Lord of War and not an HQ, that means you are going to have to switch one of your Moritats to something else. I would suggest a Siege Breaker for the Phosphex bombs, and seems fluffy for Death Guard. Or a Forge Lord, because he can take Techmarine gear, meaning Rad grenades. Could attach him to one of your Tacticals for added close combat capability and applies the Rad affect for the whole squad. My last and most risky replacement suggestion would be a Praetor. He would allow you to roll twice on twice on the Warlord trait table, making it a little easier to get the trait, World Burners. This gives D3 units in your army the Shred rule for all their blast/template weapons. I would give as many Destroyer squads as you can this ability. Because unlike Chem-munitions, it doesn't GET HOT, and it applies to blasts! That means that all of your Rad Launchers and Phosphex bombs have Shred! Even your Frag grenades have Shred! Seems neat :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehekhare Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 1) take dual hand flamers on the destroyers. with chem munitions that will score a metric f**kton of wounds. 2) with all those flame weapons, take a praetor with the orbital assault rite of war and DS all those infantry right where the enemy is thickest: unload chem/phosphex bombs, laugh manically. 3) for death guard, consider deathshoud terminators. they are iconical, a bargain with chem flamers and may deepstrike with the appropriate rite of war.

Jim AMM realgenius Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 List needs more variety and less cut and paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu00sed Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have changed the list slightly (well a lot), due to it being very cut and paste. Something I don’t normally do. This new list should still be in keeping with the whole scorched earth policy God of War Mortarion – warlord HQ 4 Deathshrouds with melta bombs, bodyguard for Mortarion Centurion Moritat, dual plasma pistols, melta bombs, jump pack Centurion Siege Breaker, 2 Phosphex bombs, Boarding Shield, Thunder hammer Elite 5 Destroyers Rad missile launcher, Phosphex bomb 10 Destroyers 2 Hand flamers (chem munitions), Jump packs, melta bombs, Phosphex bomb 2 Apothecaries Troops 15 man tactical squad 15 man tactical squad 10 man breaching squad 2 flamers, combi flamer (all with chem munitions), breaching charge Heavy support 5 man heavy support squad Heavy flamers, chem munitions Medusa Chem munitions Moriata goes with the jump destroyers Siege breaker with the breachers 1 Apothecary in each tactical squad. The medusa helps to bring the fire, but is the only tank in the list, so will be hiding lots UnkyHamHam: Primarchs are automactically the warlord of the army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim AMM realgenius Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I like this version A LOT more. See if you can squeeze some points in for Nuncio-vox on a few of the squads. The Medusa is Barrage in the Legion list, so you can hide it behind a building and call down BS4 fire to anything within LOS of a Nuncio-vox unit. That's handy, I've found.

UnkyHamHam Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 UnkyHamHam: Primarchs are automactically the warlord of the army Yeah, I realized it later after I posted that. Sorry about that! Also I really like the new list as well. My only thoughts is that you might not be able to contend with Armor heavy lists. And Emperor be praised if someone brings a Super-Heavy against you. Otherwise looks cool and fluffy, and is still very Scorched-Earth. Also on the Nuncio-Vox topic. Seekers make for great spotters with their BS 5! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim AMM realgenius Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Also on the Nuncio-Vox topic. Seekers make for great spotters with their BS 5! ;) Nuncio-vox only lets you use their LOS, not their BS. BS still of the firer, not the spotter.
