sanguine8082 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Looking to help round out a test list for the Orbital Assault Right of War. I want to try out the list before making the expensive commitment (mainly would be proxying the dreadclaw and Kharybdis). A couple of the guys at the shop have plenty of extra SM stuff to use for proxy, But I digress. What do you guys think of the list? Sigismund and the Templar Bretheren would go in the Dreadclaw in Fast Attack. Tac squad would be in the Kharybdis and would proceed to hop out turn two (sit in claw for 1st turn) and annihilate footslogging troops. The Caestus Assault ram would deliver the TH/SS terminators to charge a super heavy. What are your thoughts? My concerns are: 1) Questoris Knight Crusade Lists 2) Usefulness in 40k games (we have a pretty relaxed FW policy) 3) Competitiveness for a 30k tournament/campaign Thanks, now the list! +++ Orbital Assault Test (3020pts) +++ ++ Legiones Astartes: Crusade Army List (Age of Darkness) (3020pts) ++ + HQ (345pts) + Legion Centurion (115pts) [Artificer Armour, Combat Shield, Power Weapon] ····Consul [Primus Medicae] Sigismund (230pts) ····Master of the Legion [Orbital Assault] + Troops (1085pts) + Legion Tactical Squad (270pts) [19x Legion Tactical Space Marines, Legion Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox] Legion Tactical Support Squad (425pts) [Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod, 9x Legion Space Marines, Melta Guns] Templar Brethren (390pts) [Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod, 7x Combat Shield, 7x Templar Brethren] ····Chapter Champion [Combat Shield, Power Axe] + Elites (715pts) + Contemptor Dreadnought Talon (255pts) ····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Kheres Pattern Assault Cannon, Legion Dreadnought Drop Pod, Multi-Melta] Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnought (185pts) [Two Twin-linked Lascannons] Legion Terminator Squad (275pts) [Cataphractii Terminator Armour with Combi-bolter and Power Weapon, 4x Legion Terminators, 4x Thunderhammer, 4x Vigil Pattern Storm Shield] ····Legion Terminator Sergeant [Thunderhammer, Vigil Pattern Storm Shield] + Fast Attack (100pts) + Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod (100pts) + Heavy Support (775pts) + Legion Caestus Assault Ram (305pts) Legion Fire Raptor Gunship (210pts) [Reaper Autocannon battery] Legion Kharybdis Assault Claw (260pts) + Legion + Legion Astartes [VII: Imperial Fists] Created with BattleScribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Can't find am FAQ for it, but I'm sure the Primus Medicae is now a support officer and can't be a compulsory HQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infyrana Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Not being a current gamer, I can only comment on few things. I'd be a little concerned for your number of boots on the ground, but know little about your pods n flyer. Have you thought about a graviton gun instead of melta on your contemptor?

jeremy1391 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 At 3k you seem a little light on bodies, yea you've got a lot of heavy hitters but in an attrition game you lack bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you recommend a substitution? I don't own most of the drop pods anyway, I would be proxy-ing normal ones for the purposes of testing it out. I was thinking of possibly altering the list to include 10 TH/SS Terminators in the Caestus Assault Ram, instead of 4. I could run a Praetor instead of Sigismund, which would free up some points.

jeremy1391 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I'd drop the caestus for a second 20 man blob. Swap the fire raptor for a storm eagle to carry them. And swap the kharbydis for a second storm eagle. Give the terminator squad a teleport transponder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And swap the kharbydis for a second storm eagle. Give the terminator squad a teleport transponder. Reason for dropping the Kharybdis? I have it in there for the psychological element, plus I think it fits well with the Imperial Fists. I added the Teleporter transponder and dropped a seemingly un-needed Dreadclaw in my fast attack. I am worried how this list would do if it went up against a full armor list (aka The Parking Lot) or a horde list (probably Orks or Tyranids) What can I swap in/out to better address these things to end up with maybe two or three variants of this list +++ Orbital Assault Test (3000pts) +++ ++ Legiones Astartes: Crusade Army List (Age of Darkness) (3000pts) ++ + HQ (345pts) + Legion Centurion (115pts) [Artificer Armour, Combat Shield, Power Weapon] ····Consul [Primus Medicae] Sigismund (230pts) ····Master of the Legion [Orbital Assault] + Troops (1355pts) + Legion Tactical Squad (270pts) [19x Legion Tactical Space Marines, Legion Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox] Legion Tactical Squad (270pts) [19x Legion Tactical Space Marines, Legion Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox] Legion Tactical Support Squad (425pts) [Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod, 9x Legion Space Marines, Melta Guns] Templar Brethren (390pts) [Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod, 7x Combat Shield, 7x Templar Brethren] ····Chapter Champion [Combat Shield, Power Axe] + Elites (730pts) + Contemptor Dreadnought Talon (255pts) ····Legion Contemptor Dreadnought [Kheres Pattern Assault Cannon, Legion Dreadnought Drop Pod, Multi-Melta] Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnought (185pts) [Two Twin-linked Lascannons] Legion Terminator Squad (290pts) [Cataphractii Terminator Armour with Combi-bolter and Power Weapon, 4x Legion Terminators, Teleportation Transponder, 4x Thunderhammer, 4x Vigil Pattern Storm Shield] ····Legion Terminator Sergeant [Thunderhammer, Vigil Pattern Storm Shield] + Fast Attack (310pts) + Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod (100pts) Legion Storm Eagle Assault Gunship (210pts) + Heavy Support (260pts) + Legion Kharybdis Assault Claw (260pts) + Legion + Legion Astartes [VII: Imperial Fists] Created with BattleScribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysere Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'd drop the caestus for a second 20 man blob. Swap the fire raptor for a storm eagle to carry them. And swap the kharbydis for a second storm eagle. Give the terminator squad a teleport transponder. Orbital assault allows termies to deepstrike without the transponder. Otherwise solid suggestions.
