After playing in the GBU tournament last Saturday I have been thinking about my list and I've decided that the 1850 list I brought there was not the best list I could have taken.
I had difficulty in dealing with 2+ armour saves both at long ranges and at shorter ranges. I have come up with a new list that incorporates plasma and and lascannons that I think may be better at dealing with units like mega nobs and terminators.
here goes:
HQ -
120 - Master of the Forge with conversion beamer
Elites -
125 Dreadnought with 2 twin-linked autocannons
125 Dreadnought with 2 twin-linked autocannons
115 Dreadnought with multimelta and heavy flamer
Troops -
105 4 scouts with camo cloaks and sniper rifles and one missile launcher
1 Sargent with camo cloak sniper rifle and melta bombs
180 4 marines
1 Sargent with combi-flamer
in Razorback with lascannon and twin-linked plasmagun
180 4 marines
1 Sargent with combi-flamer
in Razorback with lascannon and twin-linked plasmagun
180 4 marines
1 Sargent with combi-flamer
in Razorback with lascannon and twin-linked plasmagun
180 4 marines
1 Sargent with combi-flamer
in Razorback with lascannon and twin-linked plasmagun
Fast Attack -
90 Landspeeder with Typhoon Missile Launcher and Heavy Bolter
90 Landspeeder with Typhoon Missile Launcher and Heavy Bolter
Heavy Support -
115 Dreadnought with multimelta and heavy flamer
120 Predator with Autocannon and 2 lascannon sponsons
120 Predator with Autocannon and 2 lascannon sponsons
1845pts total
So I have long range ap2 in the form for 8 lascannons and one conversion beamer. I have short range ap2 with 4 twin-linked plasma guns and 2 multimeltas. I have now 6 flamer templates and I still have 4 missile launcher shots and 6 autocannons.
I will need to play test this list but I like it a lot.
I don't like to copy/paste lists from other websites but I try and take ideas from them and make my own lists. I do look at Stelek's and Kirby's sites alot for list ideas.
What do people think of this list?
I'd drop the master and the HS dread, and make a build around a devastator squad with missle launchers. That would allow you to beef up your tactical squads to include heavy weapons.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a drop pod? Tac squad with combi-melta, meltagun and multimelta can make a mess of something big, and then be super pesty afterwords.
