TheAlchemist Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Hello, I started an Emperor's Children army a while back and lost my original list by the time I came back to it. I need your help on where to go from what I have so far. Lord with lightning claws and jump pack Sorcerer with jump pack 3x 5 man units of noise Marines 5 man choppy noise Marines squad 10x possessed 10x Warptalons 40x cultists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 More anti tank guns. I'm a fan of Stompy Robots so I'd recommend some Helbrutes with lascannons, but Havocs work too especially with the Endless Cacophony stratagem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Can you afford a few FW purchases? I strongly suggest the Xiphon. I'd get two, or if you get the three Xiphon airwing you get a price cut. Fire raptors are still pretty good at their point cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The recommendations given are goodies! I’d like to give my two cents and say tanks. Rhinos to transport some troops and give them extra protection. Predators can also bring some big guns to the fight. Just depends on how you want to run your army. FW has rules for some sweet tanks and other units as well if you can get a look in that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulwyf Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I would recommend the units I have in my EC army. Lucius and Possessed running together is some major CC damage. I have them in a LR and Rhinos to truck around the NM. DP is also fun to run with them. I have a list on the chaos army list board if you want to take a look for what I run for 2k points.

The Nephilim Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Also, now that all Chosen can take power weapons thanks to the new FAQ, getting some Palatine Blades from FW and rocking them in a landraider or termite would be pretty sweet too.

That's my next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you run DP in your list. Are jump pack Lords and sorcerer not good? I was thinking of basing my army around the Warptalons, though after the FAQ I'm not sure.

Panzer Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Lords and especially Sorcerer are decent but nothing beats a Daemon Prince with Wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting him near Lucius, who is very underrated as a HQ choice for EC, is just fun as hell. Both of them can shred through other HQ or anything in front of them. There's nothing wrong with sorcs or jump pack lords. Warp talons took a hit after the FAQ but you can still drop them in selectively during the game so they have some of the same tie up a unit in CC value as well. I've found my list I posted to be fairly balanced to give you options against vehicles, hordes, gunlines or assault lists. It is also very fluffy and true to the character of the EC if that means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
