Joe Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So I'm putting together a small 1500pts list of White Scars for a possible Tale of Two-to-Four Gamers that myself and some friends over on Flickr have been discussing, however I'd still like the force to be viable on tabletop. I was planning on having the Praetor supported by a biker Command Squad, however points-wise it was taking me over the 1500pts mark. HQ - Legion Praetor - 215pts - Master of the Legion: Pride of the Legion, Artificer Armour, Iron Halo, Mastercrafted Archaeotech Pistol, Charnabal Sabre, Legion Scimitar Jetbike with Heavy Bolter Elites - Legion Destroyer Squad - 250pts - x1 Legion Destroyer Sergeant (/w Artificer Armour & Power Fist), x4 Legion Destroyer Space Marines, Jump Packs Troops - Legion Veteran Tactical Squad - 285pts - x1 Legion Veteran Sergeant (/w Artificer Armour & Power Fist), x8 Legion Veteran Space Marines (/w Legion Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox, Heavy Bolter /w Suspensor Web and Veteran Tactics: Sniper), Dedicated Transport: Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier - Legion Veteran Tactical Squad - 270pts - x1 Legion Veteran Sergeant (/w Artificer Armour & Power Fist), x7 Legion Veteran Space Marines (/w Legion Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox, Heavy Bolter /w Suspensor Web and Veteran Tactics: Sniper), Dedicated Transport: Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier Fast Attack - Legion Jetbike Sky Hunter Squadron - 175pts - x1 Sky Hunter Sergeant (/w Power Fist), x3 Space Marine Sky Hunters (/w Multi-melta) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 As much as I hate to say it I would drop the Destroyers (:() and try squeeze some armour in there, maybe a Sicaran or a couple of Predators? Bit more AT and some target saturation so your Rhinos don't get blasted as fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yeah, Taking Destroyers without the Rad Missile Launchers kinda defeats their purpose since its their primary Attraction. Without that, you've got CS/2xBP Counter-Attack Marines with Rad Grenades. You're also not getting the maximum out of the flat 75 points for the Jump Packs without going full 10 men; since at that point, you're paying 15pts per JP instead of 7.5. They're an already-expensive unit. Not making the most of their Unit-Specific Wargear makes a 10 Man Assault squad a better investment at this point since you're paying 250 for 10 bodies instead of 5.

Joe Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 According to Battlescribe the maximum amount of troop choices I can take is two, so isn't an Assault Squad out of the question? I've squeezed one in on the list just to see. HQ - Legion Praetor - 215pts - Master of the Legion: Pride of the Legion, Artificer Armour, Iron Halo, Mastercrafted Archaeotech Pistol, Charnabal Sabre, Legion Scimitar Jetbike with Heavy Bolter Elites - Legion Destroyer Squad - 250pts - x1 Legion Destroyer Sergeant (/w Artificer Armour & Power Fist), x4 Legion Destroyer Space Marines, Jump Packs Troops - Legion Veteran Tactical Squad - 285pts - x1 Legion Veteran Sergeant (/w Artificer Armour & Power Fist), x8 Legion Veteran Space Marines (/w Legion Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox, Heavy Bolter /w Suspensor Web and Veteran Tactics: Sniper), Dedicated Transport: Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier - Legion Veteran Tactical Squad - 270pts - x1 Legion Veteran Sergeant (/w Artificer Armour & Power Fist), x7 Legion Veteran Space Marines (/w Legion Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox, Heavy Bolter /w Suspensor Web and Veteran Tactics: Sniper), Dedicated Transport: Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier - Legion Assault Squad - 345pts - x1 Legion Assault Sergeant (/w Artificer Armour & Power Fist, Plasma Pistol, Melta Bombs), x9 Legion Assault Space Marines (/w Combat Shields, x2 Power Weapons) Fast Attack - Legion Jetbike Sky Hunter Squadron - 175pts - x1 Sky Hunter Sergeant (/w Power Fist), x3 Space Marine Sky Hunters (/w Multi-melta) Heavy Support - Legion Sicaran Battle Tank - 185pts - Lascannons, Auxiliary Drive Total Points; 1498pts.

Slips Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 2 troops max? Impossible we've got 6 slots. All Pride of the Legion does is force either 2 tac vets or terminator squads to be taken as compulsories (minimum 2 using standard FoC). Outside of that restriction, you're free to take anything else from Troops Selection. Only thing Id change in the assault squad is drop the plasma pistol. Theyve never been worth it, imo. If you want to use one though, go ahead. Also, a Paragon Blade on the Preator seems like a better choice than the Charnabal Sabre. If you drop the Plasma pistol from before and Sabre, that should give you enough points for one. Ap2 CCW at initiative are few and far between so you might as well make use of one since its readily available for a Preator, not to mention ID on 6s is totally worth it unless you get bogged down by Eternal Warrior (also rare). Im surprised you didnt use the BoW relic from Book4. Sure its not "omg must have" but its pretty cool. Then again, its almost 50pts.... As an aside, if you ever feel that your army might be too flinsy, maybe consider dropping the Assault Squad for more Jetbikes and/or Primus Medicae/Librarian on a Jetbike. Either giving them FnP or a 4++ through Psychic powers is not to be underestimated. Also consider Plasma Gun outriders if you ever feel you lack ranged ap2.

Joe Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Probably an issue with Battlescribe then. It has a habit of screeching at me on a frequent basis. :p I haven't actually read Book IV yet, so I'm not sure what the relic does. Made a few changes to the list. I suppose I could go as high as 2000pts, however I'd have to talk it over with my peer/s. HQ - Legion Praetor - 230pts - Master of the Legion: Pride of the Legion, Artificer Armour, Iron Halo, Mastercrafted Archaeotech Pistol, Paragon Blade, Legion Scimitar Jetbike with Heavy Bolter Troops - Legion Veteran Tactical Squad - 285pts - x1 Legion Veteran Sergeant (/w Artificer Armour & Power Fist), x8 Legion Veteran Space Marines (/w Legion Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox, Heavy Bolter /w Suspensor Web and Veteran Tactics: Sniper), Dedicated Transport: Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier - Legion Veteran Tactical Squad - 285pts - x1 Legion Veteran Sergeant (/w Artificer Armour & Power Fist), x8 Legion Veteran Space Marines (/w Legion Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox, Heavy Bolter /w Suspensor Web and Veteran Tactics: Sniper), Dedicated Transport: Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier - Legion Assault Squad - 330pts - x1 Legion Assault Sergeant (/w Artificer Armour & Power Fist, Melta Bombs), x9 Legion Assault Space Marines (/w Combat Shields, x2 Power Weapons) Fast Attack - Legion Jetbike Sky Hunter Squadron - 180pts - x1 Sky Hunter Sergeant (/w Power Fist), x3 Space Marine Sky Hunters (/w Plasma Cannon) Heavy Support - Legion Sicaran Battle Tank - 185pts - Lascannons, Auxiliary Drive Total Points; 1498pts.
