Emperor's Furor Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 This is what I've come up with so far, based on a mixture of the units from First Heretic, Battle for the Abyss and Scions of the Storm. Some are accurate, some are slight alterations or additions to go with the characters I've decided to go with. I'm thinking of adding a Vindicator or two to represent the Firestorm armoured squadron of the Serrated Suns, which is mentioned in First Heretic and I also want to include the 9th Maniple, Carthage Cohort of the Legio Cybernetica (battle robots), if they add them to the Mechanicum list in some form. HQ Chaplain Xaphen, 7th Assault Company - Refractor field / Artificer armour / jump pack - 125 (with Torgal Assault Squad) Chapter Master Deinos (Librarian) - Level 1 Pyromancy / Refractor field / Artificer armour - 115 (with Burning Hands Support Squad) Chapter Master Tenaebron (Moriat) - Volkite Serpenta x 2 / Jump pack / Artificer armour / refractor field - 135 (with Kaleb Destroyer Squad) Elites Chapter of the Void, 2nd Company Kaleb Destroyer Squad (x5) - Jump Packs / Phosphex bomb x3 / Plasma pistol - 270 Apothecary Uhrlon - Augury scanner - 50 (with Tabrae Support Squad) Troops Serrated Suns Chapter, 7th Assault Company Malnor Tactical Squad (x10) - Legion Vexila - 160 Rhino - Auxiliary Drive / Extra armour / Heavy Bolter - 70 Torgal Assault Squad (x10) - Power weapons x 2 / Power fist / artificer armour - 295 The Burning Hand Chapter, 34th Tactical Company: Tabrae Support Squad (x9) Flamers (8) - 160 Rhino - Auxiliary Drive / Extra Armour / Heavy Flamer - 70 Total - 1450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim AMM realgenius Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 50 points seems like a lot to leave off the table. It doesn't fit with your style, but maybe a HB Rapier? Maybe a Techmarine to make sure the Rhinos get out of the gates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 I originally had an Apothecary in there until I realised the squad it was meant to be with was in a Rhino and had no more space, so I didn't know what to include instead. I want to work up to 2000 points, so I have 500 points to play around with, a long with the 50. Edit: I'll have a problem with tanks won't I? Rather than a rapier or techmarine, maybe I should add some Melta bombs? It's 50 points exactly to give the assault squad melta bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Maybe this?

Haranin Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 three HQs in 1500? Seems a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yeah, I didn't really want a Praetor and they are only sub level HQs and fairly cheap I think. I wanted the Librarian type figure because I thought he'd be an interesting figure to convert as he has flame jets on his hands, but I could drop him for something else I guess what do you suggest? I'd even be open to dropping the flamer squad and their rhino as that was meant to tie in with the librarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haranin Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 1500 is still 1500; your troops will be your core, not toys. HH cool toys hit the table at 2000+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim AMM realgenius Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'd normally agree, but the HH list provides two main benefits: much cheaper than normal additional model cost (encouraging larger squads) and cheap HQs (with an additional HQ slot). It really seems like they want you to build lists with big squads led by heroes and one or two special toys. I don't think 3 at 1500 is too unusual, but they probably need to be less expensive. I could see two in this list, maybe a little assault HQ and the support type Librarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'd probably going to go for this list, it's a lot more themed imo.
