List Review
Chaptermaster: artificer armour, shield eternal, bike, thunder
hammer, iron hands(6+ FNP, it will not die) orbital bombardment(free)
pts
master of the forge on a bike
2 more techmarines
5 man bike squad w/ 2 grave guns
10 man scout sniper w/cloak
10 man tack squads w/razorback heavy bolters
10 man tack squads w/razorback heavy bolters
Stormtalon w/lascannon
2 thunder fire
1486 points, 14 to go.
That is 5 techmarines. 4 to 7 scoring units. 11 kill points. 1486 points. 41
models and 3 vehicles at 1500 that should be enough.
So the 7 bikes ride together, a techmarines and 5 guys in each razorback.
Scouts with cloak will have kick ass cover save and take out MC, stormtalon
as anti air and armor 14, thundrfire as anti troop. Hopefully 1 troop biker
can survive and contest or score late game.
To bump up points, 1750 or 2000, add contemptor dreadnoughts. I only put in
the forgefather to be fluffy, so I still have 110 to play with if I drop the
forge father.
Weakness: tack squads are just 10 guys no upgrades, heavy bolters on
razorbacks, armor 14 spam could be an issue, no psychic defense.
2 Q:A does bolster defenses stack? And does the thundrfire cannon have 6+
FNP and it will not die?
Thank you for your time,
Reecious,
I don’t know about you but I feel that things for chaos are looking up! Possible access to FW goodies along with a blood god supplement? sign me up.
Hypothetically if these rumors proved themselves true what’s the meanest 2k FW+GW chaos list you could think of?
Relic Preds and Huge Spawn are awesome for the points. Plague Hulks are pretty good as are Blight Drones. You can really go crazy with the options.
the clan raukann book, what do you lose? may as well just use it:). also, it’s +1 Fnp, rather than 4+ it will not die on the chains of the gorgon. so, if you place him in a command squad, he can have 4+ Fnp to start!!, and if you get the +1 Fnp warlord trait, lol all the way to the bank:)
the other cool thing about the Chains of the gorgon is, it doesn’t take up a hand slot, so thunder hammer and lighting claw, extra attack over the base and a choice to attack at initiative
So you can get two mega chapter masters [through allies] yikes!almost 600 points on two guys, but pretty hilarious!
I’d rather have the Shield Eternal, I think. That is the most important piece of kit in the SM book. Losing EW on your CM is a bust.
If you don’t plan on using him, and you really like Techmarines, it could be cool?
You know you don’t really lose EW right? You get it until you lose 2 wounds
yup, and by that point you may have saved that extra wound through the improved feel no pain, you also might have killed what you were fighting as you had an extra attack. It’s also access to a way better warlord table, which might be the difference in that last 2 wounds getting one shotted.
and of course, you can always ally in that guy with the shield as well;P
Yes. I think if your going to play Iron Hands this supplement is the way to go
You guys may have convinced me =P
Right, I saw that, and you can get it back too, if you regenerate a wound as I read it.
How much do you want to bet the inquisition codex was made by some Higher ups kid who REALLY wanted to make a codex.
Also *Puts Inq Codex in Cart, Puts Coteaz in Cart*
Also, This could be good for GW, the Hobbit thing. The reason we dont see previews is because of an agreement between Warner Brothers that they wont release any material more then two weeks ahead.
Yeah, we’ll see how that works out, haha! Kid, write me a codex of your choice, muhahaha! Not true I hope, but funny.
Yea Hotsauce, I also think this will be good for GW. I used to order GW at my old job. Until GW got the rights to the original LOTR movies/miniatures they seemed to be pretty happy with the flow of information that their customers got. But soon after they got the rights is when the “lockdown” of upcoming release information started. I remember you could pick up a copy of Diamond Comics Previews and get limited pictures and prices for releases that were coming out a few months down the road.
And I really hope that rumor about them doing just ltd edition books in print and the rest as a digital download is just a rumor and not the plans for the future.
Once again, thanks for the info and keep doing a great job.
If your secret project is some sort of Table War display board, I’m going to cry.
Literally, on the way back from the hardware store, where I bought a bunch of galvanized siding stuff to make my own Table War modular display boards (pop right from the case onto the board, it’s gonna be awesome), is where I heard about your announcement.
So it better be something different!
Knowing Frontline gaming I bet it is something dirty minded.
Hahaha, no, it is clean and family friendly!
It is =)
