List Review

Hi Reece (and Frankie)-

Starting to theory hammer for LVO and got intrigued by the idea of 4++ blobs:

HQ:

Yarrick

2 x Priests

2 x Primaris Psykers, ML 2

Azrael

 

Troops:

Infantry Platoon:

PCS, 4 x flamers (rides in Vendetta)

Infantry Squad, Lascannon, Melta Bomb, Power Axe, Vox-Caster

4 x Infantry Squad, Lascannon, Melta Bomb, Power Axe

 

Infantry Platoon:

PCS, Vox-Caster

Infantry Squad, Lascannon, Vox-Caster

3 x Infantry Squad, Lascannon

 

5 x Scouts, Bolters

 

Heavy Support:

Field Artillery Battery, 3 x Thudd Guns

 

Fast Attack:

Vendetta Gunship

 

Fortification:

Skyshield Landing Pad

1840 Points, 10 to play with

The larger blob with 4++ from Azrael takes board center while the smaller blob chills on the Skyshield with the thudd guns. It lacks fast scoring for the maelstrom format, other than the flamer PCS in the Vendetta.

The alternative would be to build with DA Primary (for Ravenwing Troops): drop the Vendetta, flamers and scouts for 2 Ravenwing bike squads (4 bikes, 2 melta guns). More fast scoring and scouting melta, no AA.

 

Looking forward to your thoughts, I’ll be painting cadians . . . .

 

Best,

Christian
