Castiel Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hey everyone. I've been trying to decide between these armies and wrote these lists for them. Which do you think is better? Alpha Legion - So basically this list is designed to shoot the living daylights out of the opposition. I'd put the Vigilator with the Headhunters and Exodus with the Recon squaed. Not much in the way of dedicated anti-air, but it's not big in the local meta, and hopefully the Sicarian should be able to handle any it finds. There are maybe a couple of bits of wargear I'd swap around, I might lose the hardened armour of the Heavy Support squad for a few more power weapons for example. HQ: Vigillator - Art armour, refractor shield, power dagger -110 Exodus - 115 Troops: Tactical Squad (10 man) - Art armour - 160 Rhino - 35 Tactical Squad (10 man) - Art armour - 160 Rhino - 35 Reconnaissance Squad (10 man) - 10x sniper rifles, recon armour, cameleoline - 300 Elites: Contemptor-Mortis - 2x Kheres Assault cannons - 180 Fast Attack Headhunter kill team (9 man) - Art armour, suspensor Heavy bolter - 330 Rhino - 35 Heavy Support: Heavy Support Squad (9 man) - hardened armour, lascannons - 420 Sicarian Battle Tank - Armoured ceramite - 155 Night Lords - This list would use the NL RoW and is much more assault based than the previous list. The aim would be to get into close combat quickly, the 2 10 man terror squads infiltrating while Sevatar and the 9 man squad use the land raider phobos to close. The Night Raptors and contemptors provide support to crack tough targets. HQ: Moritat - Art armour, refractor shield, 2x plasma pistols -145 Sevatar - Terror Assault RoW - 175 Troops: Terror Squad (10 man) - Art armour, chainglaive, flamer, volkite charger - 235 Terror Squad (10 man) - Art armour, chainglaive, flamer, volkite charger - 235 Terror Squad (9 man) - Art armour, chainglaive, flamer, volkite charger - 220 Elites: Contemptor - 2x DCCW, 2x plasma blaster - 215 Contemptor-Mortis - 2x kheres assault cannons - 180 Fast Attack Night Raptors (10 man) - Art armour, 2x chainglaive, 4x power weapons - 320 Heavy Support: Land Raider Phobos - armoured ceramite, dozer blade - 275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 For the NL one, I wouldn't personally take a plasma moritat as his higher bs is negated by the moritats gets hot rule (1+2), nor would I worry so much about flamers in your terror squads, I'd have a few more volkite for troop killy fun, give every sarge meltabombs, and redistribute the remaining points as you see fit. Maybe, swap a terror squad chainglaive for an axe or fist, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah, volkite moritat is by far the best option as of now barrin dual archeotech (can they even take these?) or volkite + AL relic pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've swapped the plasma on the moritat for two volkite serpentas, and the flamers in the terror squads for 2 extra volkite chargers each squad. I used the spare points to get meltabombs on all the sergeants.The 9 man squad doesn't have an extra man so they fit in the Land Raider Phobos with Sevatar. HQ: Moritat - Art armour, refractor shield, 2x volkite serpenta -125 Sevatar - Terror Assault RoW - 175 Troops: Terror Squad (10 man) - Art armour, chainglaive, 3x volkite charger, meltabombs - 240 Terror Squad (10 man) - Art armour, chainglaive, 3x volkite charger, meltabombs - 240 Terror Squad (9 man) - Art armour, chainglaive, 3x volkite charger, meltabombs - 220 Elites: Contemptor - 2x DCCW, 2x plasma blaster - 215 Contemptor-Mortis - 2x kheres assault cannons - 180 Fast Attack Night Raptors (10 man) - Art armour, 2x chainglaive, 4x power weapons, meltabombs - 325 Heavy Support: Land Raider Phobos - armoured ceramite, dozer blade - 275 EDIT: Thanks Slips, you replied while I was typing. Glad to see that a volkite moritat was the best choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castiel Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 So which of these lists do you guys think is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I can't objectively decide... AL have been leaving a bad taste in my mouth due to powergamers elevating them above all legions And I lurk in the Night Lords CSM thread too much so have a Positive bias towards them :p ...so yeah. Guess >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 My questions to you are, out of those 2 who can see in the dark the best? Which army stands the best chance of taking on all comers? What shade of blue do you prefer painting? Do you want to play murderers or space james bonds more? Basically it's down to you, I'll say night lords forever, as really 'm bias and I'd like to see more alphaness in the AL list (laerneans, maybe a robbed squad to help you be shooty etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Night Lords, you know you want to, and if you do second list.... I'm doing similiar with my Night Lords,money smaller, but I am varying the weapons on the terror squads, chainglaive, power weapon, and power fist. Just gives you a bit more flexibility. The thing with you list, if you want to expand, you can add terminators to transport in on Sev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
