Jim AMM realgenius Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Assault Squads work great, but I recommend a force multiplier with them. A Chaplain to re-roll hits, Primus Medicae for FNP, or a Libby, someone to increase effectiveness. I'd also put at least two axes in there, or at least one squad with all axes so you can throw them against Terminators. If you have only 15, you only get 3 PW in the squad. Is one on the Sarge?

Is one on the Sarge? yeah one of them is on the sarge, i shouldve specified it,sorry : P.. Also librarians or psykers of any kind are out of the question.. Thanks I'll consider adding 2 chaplains with jump packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim AMM realgenius Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm partial to the Chaplains myself, and I think they will be perfect choices for proto BT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmapa Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 ok I edited the list, added two chaplains and conversion beamers to hit some armour from afar,should be a nice long range support for the rest of the assault oriented army.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MordentHex Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 good, it looked a bit Meta-list at first glance. may want to change a contemptor or two to something besides KAC. Maybe plasmacannons for 2+ armor and light vehicles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim AMM realgenius Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I think I'd go for a little more variety. The heavy conversion Beamers are nice, but not being able to move makes them a little harder to use for good shots. And the Dakka Predators are really effective at chewing up small squads, four shot auto cannon is nice, plus heavy Bolter sponsons gives a lot of shooting. Maybe change out two of the Predators for auto cannons/HBs and switch one Contemptor to dual Kheres. Then you will have a little more variety, plus some redundancy. I'd also try a few games with taking the PW off the assault sarge and giving him artificer. Put him at the front and have him soak up small arms fire-- it might be more effective than the PW.
