Hello everyone Frankie here to talk about the changes in my Battle Company list and show some photo updates of the army. Check out the Tactics Corner for more great articles!
So first I changed the list from the first article to this one:
Khan-Bike
Chaplain-Bike, Auspex
Tactical Squad- 10 marines, Melta Bomb, Melta Gun, Grav Cannon and Grav amp, Rhino
Tactical Squad- 10 marines, Melta Bomb, Melta Gun, Grav Cannon and Grav amp, Rhino
Tactical Squad- 10 marines, Melta Bomb, Melta Gun, Grav Cannon and Grav amp, Rhino
Tactical Squad- 10 marines, Melta Bomb, Melta Gun, Grav Cannon and Grav amp, Rhino
Tactical Squad-5 marines, Melta Bomb, Melta Gun, Rhino
Tactical Squad-5 marines, Melta Bomb, Melta Gun, Rhino
Attack Bike- Multi Melta
Bike Squad- 3 bikes, 2x Grav Gun, Combi Grav, Attack bike w/ Multi Melta
Devastator Squad-5 marines, 2x Grav Cannon and Grav amp, Rhino
Devastator Squad-5 marines, 2x Grav Cannon and Grav amp, Rhino
10th Company
3 x 5 Scouts with bolters
The new list is very mobile and with Khan can get off a nasty alpha strike. The Grav Cannons will scout forward and be in range turn one. Most games I will use a Devastator Doctrine turn one to give them all re-rolls of some sort. The Grav Cannons will also allow me to stay in the Rhinos longer because I will be dealing enough damage from the firing points. The Bike Squad will cruise around grabbing objectives and taking out those pesky back field units. The main thing I am thinking about changing is adding a drop pod, just so I can null deploy if needs be.
This new and improved list I believe will be able to hang with the top tier lists. The list will play to the missions really well and will have enough punch to kill a little bit of the enemy army. My roughest match up would be Helldrakes as the ap 3 flamer will kill my guys really fast. Luckily they will have to get me out of the transports first, haha. Another tough game will be the kill point mission. On a straight kill point game I don’t think I would have much of a chance against most armies. But as long as there are other options for my list I will be able to pull out the win.
I’m almost done building the tactical marines as you can see in the following pictures:
The Marines are turning out great I am working on getting all the heads together along with the bases. Should have those by next week.
I didn’t glue on the shoulder pads, back packs, or guns as I want to prime them separate so that it looks cleaner when all finished:
Lastly you have to love Forgeworld. I cannot wait to finish this army and get it on the table:
So that is what I have so far. I am going to magnetize the weapons so that the army is completely versatile. Let me know what you guys think about the new list and what you would change if anything. Also how have your experiences been playing against the Battle Company? Thank you for reading everyone and I will keep you updated on the progress. I am hoping to have it all finished by Nova Open.
