Gentlemanloser Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I think i need to step up a little. So I'm going to try Apothecary Spam. ;) Take a look at this; Battalion +3 GMNDK H Psy Greatsword Sanctuary 255 GMNDK H Psy Greatsword Sanctuary 255 Strike x5 GoI 105 Strike x5 GoI 105 Strike x5 GoI 105 Apothecary Hammer GoI 103 Razorback TLLC 115 Razorback TLLC 115 Razorback TLLC 115 Vanguard +1 Voldus 190 Apothecary Hammer GoI 103 Apothecary Hammer GoI 103 Apothecary Hammer GoI 103 Apothecary Hammer GoI 103 Apothecary Hammer GoI 103 Apothecary Hammer GoI 103 Vanguard +1 Inquisitor Storm Bolter Bolt Pistol Terrify 57 Culexes Assassin 85 Culexes Assassin 85 Culexes Assassin 85 Supreme Command +1 Inquisitor Storm Bolter Bolt Pistol Terrify 57 Inquisitor Storm Bolter Bolt Pistol Terrify 57 Tempestor Prime Command Rod Chainsword Warlord 40 Faithful Servant of the Crown (Deny 1/Turn) Kurov's Auilla (Each time enemy uses a strat, 5+ gain a CP) 2490 CP +6 11 on board. 2x GMNDK 3 x Razor with 5x Strike and 1x Inquisitor in each 11 in Reserves. 1x Voldus 7x Apothecaries 3 x Culexes And the Tempestor Prime hiding out of LoS somewhere. Would have liked to keep him in reserves for 3 turns. Voldus and the Apoths DS behind the Culexes for maximum TROLLFACE. What do you think?

Holier Than Thou Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Only a small thing but your Inquisitors can't have two ranged weapons, Imperium Index 2 Faq changed it that you can only replace the chainsword with a melee weapon. Other than that, it looks reasonably competitive. I'm not a fan of spamming units, especially things like Apothecaries but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Ah crap. Didn't check the faq. Oh well I've got points to spare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I’ve never played 2500 points in 8 th but the 6 Apothecaries just seem like too much. It feels like you’ve reached a point of diminishing returns with that many. I don’t know for sure though, as I’ve never tried that many. It would appear in a battle against elite armies you’ll do well but you’re so elite here it may hurt against spammy armies. the jeske 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombs Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I think you got waaaay too few models. Even for gk standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 They won't be able to shoot voldus or the apoths who will then get ready second turn charges. And the hammers will melt everyone. I'll let you know how i fair. But no matches this week. Hibernating in lincoln with folks while chemo runs is course. Last match i had 9 paladin. This match is 7 apoths. Got more minis in this list than last one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordofmandulis Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm willing to bet it will be beastly, I've been running 2 apothecary's and they really are great, I had one with the soul glaive hold firm against a squad of death company with a couple of hammers, then attack back and kill 4, then kill the rest in the next turn, and then survive lemartes and kill him back in the following turn. all while scoring me 3 VP's by standing on an objective.

Gentlemanloser Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 And I've got the chance to run this versus Nids on Thursday. :) I'm gonna take no prisoners! Prot 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Nid player is bringing a three fleet mash up and 20 psykers tonight. My Culexes are happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helycon Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 20 psykers? O.o how many points are you playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 2.5k. I bet its loads of neurothropes as cheap HQs with synapse for his three different fleets. And a bunch of zoanthropes. Plus a flyrant and other assorted psykers. All with full smites. But hey GK psychic phase something something...

Helycon Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Zoanthropes act as a single unit like ours though. But yeah, when other armies have more psykers than GK, something is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Well. I got smashed. Retired start of my turn 3 only having voldus the prime and an apoth with 2W left. Nid player changed his list. Was Gorgon brigade. Some notes from match. The Aquilla was great. My opponent had 12CP and i got back 4 during the match. One ndk died to a broodlord dealing a 5W smite... Yeah our baby smite sucks. The Culexes got blasted off the board by 90 devilgaunt S4 shots. Nids have a Strat that lets a unit shoot a second time. Like 90 S4 shots? Here, eat that again. Apoths with Hammers ripped through Warriors like a hot knife through butter. As much as i dislike them. I think I'm now going to lose every match unless I use 1/2 Stormravens. /sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
