Brother Aiwass Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 HQ Reaver Lord - Halo blade, iron halo, cyber-fam, rad-g, jetbike - 245 Siege Breaker Consul - Boarding shield - 105 ELITE Apoth det. - x3 Apothecaries - 135 Techmarine cov. - 1x Techmarine, conversion beamer, x4 Automata w/flamers - 113 Quad launcher - Phosphex canister - 80 TROOPS Siege Breaker Sqd - x10, 2x Meltagun, Vexila - 265 Siege Breaker Sqd - x10, 2x Meltagun, Vexila - 265 Siege Breaker Sqd - x10, 2x Meltagun, Vexila - 265 FAST Skyhunter Sqd - x3 Jetbikes, x3 MB, PW, PC - 190 HEAVY Leviathan Dread - CML, g-bombard, phosphex, ceramite , HFs - 345 TOTAL 1998 Pretty obvious deployment; one apothecary for each Siege Sqd, Siege Consul in one Siege Sqd, Lord with the Jetbikes flanking. The Leviathan escorted by the techmarine and automatas. Go forth and die (or hopefully kill stuff) and the Quad either advancing near the Levy or in a flank. Everything is S5 T5 (Lord is S8 T6 2+ 4++).THE POOR DRAWN BATTLEPLAN BRB LLLALL a [[[L]]] a LLLALL LLASLL [Q] BB LLLLL a T a LLLLL LLLLLLR=Lord B=jetbike L=siege legionary A=apoth a=automata [[[L]]]= Levy S=Consul [Q]=quad launcher T=techmarineThe idea behind, is inspired in the roman legiones but I dunno if it would work.

Caillum Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Cool concept! How would you model it? :) My first suggestion for you is to invest in artificer armour. Definitely worth it on all your characters. Cannot emphasise just how good it is! Secondly, one Quad Launcher is a bit of a waste. Good synergy with the Siege Breaker, but you should totally grab 3. The Siege Breaker has some cool options too - maybe give him some extra gear? Are the Siege Breaker squads meant to be Breachers? Because they are 270 points with the gear you're running (vexillas are 15 on Breachers). A good way to save points with them is just take 2 squads, but 15 men each. 1 less Apothecary, but otherwise the same number of bodies and meltaguns. Leviathan Dreadnought cannot take a Cyclone Missile Launcher. Give him Volkite calivers, as he needs some more ranged firepower to spew out as he advances across the board. Rather than taking a Techmarine (which won't be able to move-&-fire the conversion beamer anyway), I would invest in more stuff across the rest of the army. AA, augury scanners, and maybe even more Jetbikes (or take Outriders instead, as they're more choppy). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I think CML in this case is Cyclonic Melta Lance And if you 100% want a Conversion Beamer, just get a Forge Lord on a Bike or in TDA = Relentless Conversion Beamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillum Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Ah! I was trying to figure out what Maximvs was abbreviating and totally missed my favourite weapon! :/ I would keep a siege claw on him with the loadout you have. He hits like a tonne of bricks in combat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hey, thanks!I definitely will work on your suggestions, that would save me some points for upgrades. Although I would love to field 3 quad launchers, I'm a cheap guy and only have one converted (and still WIP), and all of my hobby money is out on the levy, so that is not possible atm. The cheapest ones that I've seen on eBay are 24$ each, so that's a lot for me right now (maybe next month). I also will look into taking outriders instead of jetbikes, they're a lot cheaper (in cash and points). As for the levy, he won't be moving much, since is a gun platform, just enough to cover the killing field so the techmarine can fire aswell (he is there to hopefully restore levy's HP and the automatas to prevent alpha strikes against them (4D3 flamer attacks since the little bots will be surrounding the back and flanks of the dread). The c-beamer was just to give the techie stuff to do in the meanwhile. I will also try to fit some terminators but I'm afraid I don't have the points for it (but would be a shame not to put in good use the B@C termies). Will post an updated list later, and thanks again for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 @Caillum; I would model it with mostly Mk III Iron Armour, shields and the like, you can see a little bit of my progress in the link of my sig As for the list, I've updated it with your suggestions. HQ Reaver Lord - Halo blade, rad-g, iron halo, bike, cyber-fam, AA Siege Master - Shield, bike, AA, 3x phosphex bombs ELITE Apoth detach - x2 Quad launcher - phosphex canister Terminator Sqd - RAC, CF, GL TROOPS Siege Breaker Sqd - x15, Vexila, 3x MG, AA Siege Breaker Sqd - x15, Vexila, 3x MG, AA FAST Outrider Sqd - x3, Sgt, MB, AA, 3x PG HEAVY Leviathan dread - CML, G-bombard, phosphex That fits in 1995 if I did my math well. Would look to the Calivers on the dread, but I like those flamers to prevent blob squads shenanigans tarpit him. Also thinking on dropping the Siege consul and Quad launcher to bring some heavy support squads, but I love phosphex! Maybe a squad of Destroyers? Dropping the termies also for the points. Not sure yet, but I like how this is going Cheers! EDIT: Definitely need to tweak it a bit more, as I want rad-g on every Sgt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
