Hey all, since a few other people have been kind enough to post their army lists for the upcoming RTT at our local game store, I thought I'd do the same.
Right around the time Ian started fleshing out his Death Company (that is to say, when the Storm Raven came out), I read an article in White Dwarf about the Armageddon campaign. Now, I've always loved the fluff behind the Second and Third Wars, but I'd never had an army that I liked and that had participated in the war. After reading through the new Blood Angel book and seeing how awesome their new models were, I was sold.
I wanted to make a rapid strike force, a group that would identify Ork threats, zoom in, do their job and then GTFO; kinda First Recon with Air Support. So I settled on Scouts with Camo Cloaks, Speeders and a Storm Raven full of Sternguard vets that count as "Death Watch".
As chance had it, there was a 1,500-point RTT coming up (March 12th). I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to début the army.
Here is the list thus far:
(NOTE: This is not supposed to be competitive, just a fun little idea. Though I realize the amount of Ass. Cannons may insinuate otherwise...)
1 x "Death Watch" Librarian with Fear of Darkness and Shield of Sanguinius
7 x "Death Watch" Sternguard Veterans w/ 2 Combi-Flamers
1 x Furioso Dread w/ Frag Cannon, Melta and Extra Armor
1 x Storm Raven with Twin-Linked Assault Cannons, Twin-Linked Multi Meltas, Hurricane Bolters and Extra Armor
5 x Scouts w Camo Cloaks: 4 x Bolters, 1 x Heavy Bolter and a Locator Beacon
5 x Scouts w Camo Cloaks: 4 x Bolters, 1 x Heavy Bolter and a Locator Beacon
2 x Land Speeders with Assault Cannon and Multi Melta
2 x Land Speeders with Assault Cannon and Multi Melta
2 x Land Speeders with Assault Cannon and Multi Melta
I'm thinking about dropping the Furioso as it doesn't really match the whole "fast" feel, but I have no idea what I would sub in for the same points...
I should have some pictures up soon, along with a little Scout Tutorial.
Lemme know what you guys think!

If you drop the Furioso...keeping with the fluff - add 1 more 5 man scout unit with Combat Blades...Sgt PF/Meltabomb. Upgrade Libby Plasmap.
ReplyDeleteThe playtest against Aircav was an unusual game...I think you will do well against any other list.
@Sandman: I hadn't considered another Scout squad yet. I may end up doing that. I did consider an Apothecary to go with the Vets though, to protect my investment.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Aaron had dyslexia. I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be "Alpha-strike Force", given the AssCanSpam.
ReplyDeleteNo, this is just the first one. The next one would be Strike Force Beta, etc..
ReplyDeleteAnd how did Alpha do against the footslogging Orks?
