Azekai Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Lots of firepower right there. Are they going to be chosen or are there lots more sons of Alpharius in the pipeline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 I think these will be chosen, and there will be about 4 squads of matching Havoks with missile launchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micahwc Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Am considering dropping the chaos cultists and adding a second detachment of Renegade Cultists instead. I can run 2 malefic lords and 35 renegade cultists as a battalion for another command point, or run 41 renegade cultists with a malefic lord as a company. The malefic lord seems like a good way to get some extra psychic powers in. Also an edit to the list, the chosen have a power axe and plasma pistol on the sergeant.

micahwc Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 All my missile launchers arrived today but I'll be out of town all weekend so I won't get any progress done until Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I felt like my plague lord needed a better base. I didn't like how he was standing on a nurgling so I changed it up a bit. http://i.imgur.com/riWSstx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7RHk2g6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZjmYelJ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/hqQf1OF.jpg Poor Death Company marine is struggling to raise his bolter. His leg has been severed and he has a nasty axe cut across his chest. Soon he will find the death he has yearned for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Came back from a wedding and $30 of missile launchers are missing. So I went with lascannons instead since I had some on hand. I took hands from bolters and added them to anvil industries lascannons http://i.imgur.com/yNBVV3j.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Asvaldir Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Those guns look a bit small for lascannons though I imagine you're saving some cash by buying third party bits. Shame about the missiles missing, they seem pretty solid now in 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Stayed home sick today and did a lot of work. Here are all my heavy weapon dudes. http://i.imgur.com/0d5NHkE.jpg 6 lascanons, 6 heavy bolters, and 2 missile launchers. A chaos sorcerer with force sword and plasma pistol http://i.imgur.com/VtUf6CD.jpg http://i.imgur.com/VvUcB5o.jpg And a dark apostle http://i.imgur.com/DL1RNzH.jpg Supposed to be a power maul I know but I figured a counts as power maul power spear with some heretical scripture hanging off it would work.

Lord Asvaldir Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Those marines look suspiciously like loyalists. ;p Where did you get the earthshaker guns from? Been looking for a decently priced alternative model for my R&H force for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about the missiles missing, they seem pretty solid now in 8th. I agree, they look more like Astartes versions of an imperial Lasgun instead of a proper Lascannon. ^^ Lord Asvaldir and micahwc 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hmm. May have to rethink the lascannons since they are smaller than the heavy bolters. I have looked everywhere (I even cleaned my craft area) for the damn missile launchers and can't find them, I must concede them lost to the warp. My wife was the only person home while I was gone and she swears she didn't do anything to them..... I think she worships the corpse emperor in secret. Really annoying, it was 16 astarte missile launchers with arms at about $2 a piece. I'm thinking of dropping the Scorpius' just because they don't benefit from any of the special legion rules and hellbrutes/dreadnaughts do. They seem pretty good on paper, but they are also really expensive for what they provide. Thoughts? I don't really wan't to only bring 1, as without other armor on the table I'm sure 1 won't survive very long. As an aside, I think it's really cool that as they get damaged and get worse at shooting, they get better at melee combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 I shaved the imperial emblems off the sorcerer and the dark apostle, and added capes, cause any good villain needs a cape. Worked on my plague drone's paint a bit and based it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Just placed an order from Hoardobits, got 6 sets of Dark Angel weapons. Each set includes 1 missile launcher, multiple plasma pistols of both right and left handed variety, a few power swords and chainswords, and a few bolters. Each set was about $2. So when all is said and done I will have 8 missile launchers, and 6 heavy bolters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Newest version of my list is as follows. It's two detachments. 1 of Alpha Legion, and one of Renegades and Heretics. Battalion Detachment, +3 command points, Alpha Legion HQ Sorcerer, plasma pistol, force sword Dark Apostle, plasma pistol, power maul Troops 30 chaos marines with 6 heavy bolters, either 5x6 or 3x10. Heavy Support 5 Havoks, 4 missile launchers 5 Havoks, 4 missile launchers Elites 5 chosen, 4 plasma guns 5 chosen, 4 plasma guns Spearhead Detachment, +1 command point, Renegades and Heretics HQ Malefic LordHeavy Support Earthshaker Carriage, 4 crew Earthshaker Carriage, 4 crew Earthshaker Carriage, 4 crew In total this gives me 7 command points, and is a hair over 1500 points. Still need to figure out what to do with the rest of my points, although bringing both Scorpius' in the battalion detachment would put me close to 2,000. I'm very tempted to add 40 cultists to the battalion and use their Alpha Legion strategem to infiltrate them 9" away from the enemy line before the first turn of the game. Just as a distraction this sounds fun to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Just found out today that there is a local tournament on the 21st of August. 1,500 points, battle forged, 3 detachments max, Forgeworld is allowed as long as you bring a copy of the rulebook. Extra points for a 3 color paint scheme on everything, and extra points for everything being based thematically. Even more points if you bring a display board. Trying to come up with a list. I'm thinking about a battalion detachment of chaos marines and chosen, and a spearhead detachment of havoks and scorpius tanks. Need to come up with a list.

Lord Asvaldir Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Why so many separate detachments? You could just drop a lord and take a battalion detachment. Also I like the R&H detachment you made, simple detachment of a cheap malific lord plus artillery seems like an excellent edition to a lot of csm lists.

micahwc Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 3 detachments for the extra command points. My renegades/heretics are not official models so I don't want to bring them for a tournament. Just because I don't know them well, I've only played there once. I'd go for a brigade if I had fast attack choices but that's where I'm currently lacking. I really want to bring a scorpius or two but the pair are over 400 points and that's kind of steep for a 1500 point game. Although the 6d3 st 6 2 damage attacks per turn each without LOS is nice. The pair can kill 5 terminators a turn on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 You could always ask the tourney organizer if 3rd party models are allowed- unless it is being held at a GW, at which case I wouldn't bother. Unfortunate that you can't use the new Alpha Legion stratagem and infiltrate your plasma closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
