This list is a tricky one.
At 1250 I'm finding more and more the suicide units that armies take are becoming much harder to fit in. Who wants to spend a precious 60pt on a land speeder who will only die?
That is the one thing that this army relies on. Here it is.
HQ: Librarian with Shield of Sanguines and Fear of Darkness 100pts
Techmarine with Jumpack and combi melta 60pts
Techmarine with Jumpack and combi melta 60pts
Techmarine with Jumpack and combi melta 60pts
5 assault marines with Land Raider Redeemer with Multi melta 315pts
5 assault marines with Land Raider Redeemer with Multi melta 315pts
5 assault marines with Land Raider Redeemer with Multi melta 315pts
Total 1225
I find that playing this list is all skill. You use the tech marines and the redeemer's 24inch death guns to hunt down all mobile melta. once thats done you can toast or hunt vehicles to your hearts content.
Facing speeders? hold everything in reverse and Deep Strike down on to the enemy.
Your raiders deep strike, don't see much of a use but I'm sure you can use it somewhere...
Interesting list, funnily at 1250 its probably a bracket it stands a good chance of just being ROCK at.
ReplyDeleteYour probably expecting me to say I love it ... lol. Its an intriguing list, the sort of one that I'd like to try at some time, but what doesnt do it for me is the lack of punch inside the LR's.
That said, at 1250 I can see a lot of lists being woefully equipped to deal with more than 1 raider, or even 1 raider.
Gwan and use this one, I'd love to see reports on how it plays out at such a small bracket and how shocked (if at all) they'd be with it at that points clip.
That is a balls out list though, I'll give it that.
Well, It was tested against my Space Wolf list and did VERY well. It was a draw due to spearhead 2 objectives (hate that mission so much).
ReplyDeleteLost one raider to a Thunderwolf's Power Fist. The other two were just siting at 24 pounding at the five man squads left holding the objective.
Long fangs were delt with by a Fear from the Librarian.
Over all a good game. Close calls all the time.
Everything else in the space wolf list was either to slow (lonewolves) or too weak (predators) to do anything to stop the raider. Tech preists dropped and cracked open the razorbacks while the raiders tag teamed the thunderwolves.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about this while on my way back from the gym. It certainly has perked my interest a bit.
ReplyDeleteYour play test was what I was thinking, a lot of lists just wont have much for x3 AV14 @ 1250.
On a side note, fear is pure awesome, so under rated by some people.
