RE: battlefield Birmingham 5 40k tournament - Embolden - 05-02-2014 So I'm not a fan of Centurions... without the Commander/Tigurius Buffs and Chapter Master tanking the hits, they're not a force to be frightened of without Landraider support, to get them into range. So back the drawing board. RE: battlefield Birmingham 5 40k tournament - Embolden - 05-02-2014 In a similar vein to the Nick... I'm thinking of changing my list completely. Eldrad – 205 Farseer – Jetbike, Shard, Witnessing, Spear, Warding – 185 3 Jetbikes – 51 3 Jetbikes – 51 3 Jetbikes – 51 3 Jetbikes – 51 7 Warp Spiders – 133 7 Warp Spiders – 133 Wraithknight – 240 Wraithknight – 240 Baron – 105 5 DE Warriors 45 5 Beastmasters, 25 Khymera – 360 RE: battlefield Birmingham 5 40k tournament - manrogue - 05-02-2014 Lol, back to beastpack? Thought the centurions would struggle in that list to be honest, as you say, what makes Nicks nasty is the mix he puts in there. RE: battlefield Birmingham 5 40k tournament - jaqenhgar - 05-02-2014 having never faced the beast pack I can't really comment. Wraith knights are nasty though! I am thinking of dropping my devastators, not sure though, they are a nice threat and protected by the pfg of the Libby they work ok, but damage output is not that great and I think I want the Libby going forward with the command squad so he can keep in range of and buff the big squad. Could swap them for 3 tml/hb speeders - not tried these in a while and I know they get murdered by ignore cover stuff, but I really like them and want to see if they work. They could hang just behind the Libby and benefit from his pfg but still might be a bit too fragile? Here's the new list, changes in bold, have dropped a Rhino, infra visor on the Libby, as well as the devs: Azrael 215 Librarian - bike, pfg, lions roar (combi plasma cannon) 135 Ravenwing command - 5 bikes, apothecary, 1 grenade launcher 230 Ravenwing Attack Squadron - 3 bikes, 2 flamers, attack bike - multi melta 135 Ravenwing Attack Squadron - 3 bikes, attack bike - multi melta 135 Tactical squad - 5 marines, lascannon 90 9 Ravenwing Black knights - 1 grenade launcher 378 3 typhoon speeders 225 Chapter Master - bike, artificer armour, storm shield, power fist 210 Tactical squad - 5 marines, plasma cannon 85 Total 1850 RE: battlefield Birmingham 5 40k tournament - Nick1988 - 06-02-2014 Looks good Chris! Nice big unit of black knights, plenty of survivable troops and lots of firepower! RE: battlefield Birmingham 5 40k tournament - Nick1988 - 06-02-2014 Had PLENTY of time on my hands over the last few days and I think I've lost the plot lol if I do go to BB I will most likely be taking...... Chapter Master [130] + Space Marine bike [20] + The Shield Eternal [50] + artificer armour [20] + power fist [25] = 245 Chief Librarian Tigurius = 165 10 Tactical Marines = 140 5 Tactical Marines = 70 4 Devastator Centurions [240] + Centurion Sergeant [10] + omniscope [10] + 2× twin-linked lascannon [40] + 2× grav-cannon and grav-amp [40] + 4× missile launcher [40] = 380 Land Raider = 250 Land Raider = 250 Commander [85] + Puretide Engram Neurochip [15] + Multi-spectrum Sensor Suite [20] + vectored retro-thrusters [5] + XV8-02 Crisis 'Iridium' Battlesuit [25] = 150 10 Kroot = 60 Inquisitor Coteaz = 100 Inquisitorial Henchmen Warband = 0 • Acolyte = 4 • Acolyte = 4 • Acolyte = 4 • Acolyte = 4 • Acolyte = 4 Inquisitorial Henchmen Warband = 0 • Acolyte = 4 • Acolyte = 4 • Acolyte = 4 • Acolyte = 4 • Acolyte = 4 1,850 points RE: battlefield Birmingham 5 40k tournament - Embolden - 07-02-2014 Looks good Chris, I really like the list! Loads of tactical options, could you find the pts/models for a squad of Bikes with 2 Grav Guns? Maybe instead of a Tactical squad and Lions Roar? Nick I like your list! the Mobile cover and guns of the Landraiders are great, I would be tempted to swap out a Tactical squad for a Bike squad and then a Landraider to a GK Landraider, this gives you an option to hide Coteaz and a Acolyte squad in the KP mission, plus the bikes give you ANOTHER mobile scoring unit. RE: battlefield Birmingham 5 40k tournament - Nick1988 - 07-02-2014 Can battle brothers embark on a transport of their allies? I'm almost certain I was told/read somewhere that they can't but can't find anything in the GW FAQ ill be a very happy bunny if you can RE: battlefield Birmingham 5 40k tournament - Nick1988 - 07-02-2014 Also, does anyone have the rules for the death storm drop pod?

And nope, never even heard of the drop pod? Is it the one with Assault Cannons? I'm is automated and BS3? Im sure a table next to me had one at Cale or at least talked out it :p |
