With my plans for domination at the
UK40K GT put on hold for another year by an unexpected visit from my
Uncle (who currently lives in Russia), my attention has turned
towards Open War which is scheduled for April 14th at
Maelstrom. As you are probably aware by now I find it hard to take
the same list to successive tournaments and even though I'm not going
to be able to take the “horde BA” list to the GT my mind is
already wandering elsewhere. Specifically back to my first love,
Vanilla Marines and the staple that is Vulkan!
Here's the list:
HQ
Vulkan He'stan
Librarian: TDA, Storm Shield; Null
Zone, Gate of Infinity
ELITE
Assault Terminators: 5x Thunder Hammer
& Storm Shield
Dreadnought: 2x TL Autocannon
Dreadnought: 2x TL Autocannon
TROOPS
Tactical Squad: 5-man; Razorback w. TL
Lascannon
Tactical Squad: 5-man; Razorback w. TL
Lascannon
Tactical Squad: 10-man, Meltagun,
Multimelta, Power Fist & Combi-Melta; Drop Pod
FAST ATTACK
Attack Bikes: 2-bikes 2x Multimelta
Attack Bikes: 2-bikes 2x Multimelta
Scout Bikes: 3-bikes, Cluster Mines,
Combi-Melta & Meltabombs
HEAVY SUPPORT
Thunderfire Cannon
Total 1750pts
I feel pretty good about the amount,
variety and reliability of the firepower in this list. Scoring-wise
I'd call it adequate with 3-4 scoring units with reasonable mobility
and a little extra hitting power in the Drop Tac Squad, Vulkan can
join that unit to make it a little more threatening. My main concern
is that the Librarian THSS Terminator unit is my main deterrent and
it's mobility is some what unreliable and limited by the deep strike
rules (GoI). Ideally they'd be in a Land Raider but I'm not sure I
really want to drop anything from the list to accommodate one.
Any ideas from our always creative
readers?
Tattooed women are the best :P
ReplyDeleteI like the list. One question. Can you combat squad and then put 5 guys in the drop pod and 5 guys from normal reserves?
I'd toss a locator beacon on that pod and the Scout Bikers. If you're going to rely on gate for movement then you best ensure you go where you want. If you get first turn then scout those Bikers up and gate to them. Land the pod with the Bikers too and you've now forced your opponents hand while you maneuver the rest of your army. Finding the points is the tricky part though.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't do both then I'd at least put one on the pod. The pod can position well regardless of first turn and it's cheaper. You can get that one just by dropping cluster mines.
Afraid not.
ReplyDeleteUse a Strike instead of the Lib.
ReplyDeleteThen have them Infiltrate
