Army of Dark Compliance Tactica


Slips

Recommended Posts

So ... as it stands, it seems like we can't combine all the Provenances with the Dark Compliance

 

For example, in the Dark Compliance primary detachment you have to include a single Legion Praetor or  Consul who needs to be the warlord.

 

On the other hand, Tainted Flesh for example clearly specifies that only a Force Commander and Rogue Psykers may be taken in a primary detachment with this particular Provenance.

 

As it is worded now, we're obviously unable to use the Tainted Flesh Provenance with an Army of Dark Compliance ... which stinks.

 

Opinions ?

Since it's a theme, not made for competitive play but made for fun instead and requires explicit permission to use anyway,; Narrative>RAI>RAW on this one. Just ask your opponent.

Anything can fit the narrative with enough effort; they could just as easily be created by the astartes in question, packed into boxes, and and loosed onto the battlefield.

 

The point is once you step into Theme territory, you're in narrative land first and foremost. As long as you're reasonable then there shouldn't be any problems.

I am very interested in running this list as I tend to play at lower points level at my LGS and I am finding the Legion troop tax to be a burden.  My solution is to run this army and use Militia squads (just the normal guys) as my compulsory troops.  I figured they can hold the back field and bubble wrap my artillery units.  In fact I constantly finding myself wanting a cheap bubble wrap unit so this really works out for me.  I wasn't planning on provenances either to keep things cheap and cheerful.  Plus I like the Militia medusas better as they get those anti-tank shells.   I need more long range anti tank I find and these fit the bill nicely plus they help evening out the Militia to Legion ratio.

 

Has anybody else thought about using this list as way to circumnavigate the Legion troop tax?

The only way I'm using this list is to alleviate the troop tax.

 

Dark age survivors and abhumans give you Grenadiers that shoot and take damage as good as or better than normal Marines for a fraction of the cost. Plus easy access to FNP.

 

Im going to be running Grenadiers that are either a 20 blob with two rotor cannons and Lasrifles. Pumping out 30" S4 at BS4 and tanking damage with T4 3+ 5+FNP.

 

If not the basic dudes work well too.

 

Levvy squads could even be used as a blocker. Make a massive squad, put a chaplain in it so they don't run, spread it across your deployment zone. Laugh.

Hey guys :biggrin.:

 

I'm looking at building an army based around the traitors at Bodt using the army of dark compliance with mechanicum allies. The idea is inducted levy gun clans with alchem jackers and feral warriors backed up by butchers, inductii tacticals and armor from bodts factories. I was wondering if anyone has run the dark compliance and has any updates on tactics and if running an army across the board on foot behind levies is viable or still no good? cheers
