<@&877303657966735367>

Deep Strike the Despoilers, and have Lascannons in the Fortified Wall. Pathfinder Pyromancy to Infiltrate and drop some templates on their backline.

Tactical's secure objectives and soak shots. Osiron runs up the side with Pavoni and drops some templates on the way. Retinue to go hunt terminators and other dreadnoughts.

Mainly looking to see what I should be worried about the most strategy wise. I'm running the Fortification because it gives a big bonus for our campaign, and as a fun alternative to a rhino.

Whose the pathfinder joining with?

#

mhm

#

one thing I might suggest is swapping the Pathfinder for a Chaplain

#

deepstrike him with despoilers

#

since you've got a lot of guys there thats exponentially more combat power

manic marsh
#

yeah was going to say

#

pathfinder is a pretty meh consol

#

the other point is I would swap out one of the tacticals for.another despoilers squad 1 unit isn't much and will get intercepted so better to bring some backuo

magic copper
#

what im wondering is how good 20 tacticals are

#

per squad

#

because honestly thats a lot of staying power with an apothecary

#

what I might do is try and find some spare points to give one squad all asphyx bolters

#

so they can reap something on overwatch

manic marsh
#

Maths wise it doesn't make much difference

#

because you can take advantage of fury of the legion with normal bolters

#

but not with Asphyx bolters

magic copper
#

okay true

#

but alternate thought

#

second squad needs artificer armour

#

like imo id totally drop 3 marines from the second line squad to give the sergeant and all the apothecaries artificer armour

#

could go further and make it a 10 man for extra guys in the lascannon team

manic marsh
#

could drop the 1 Apothecary from the tactical squad

#

Pathfinder is by himself, to let him Infiltrate and drop three large templates for lots of s6 hits and slow down any footsloggers first turn. If they decide to shoot him down, overwatch can do even more templates.

The pathfinder is definitely trying it out versus the chaplain but I debate sinking that many points into one unit and especially reserves in case of a late roll.

For the same reason, I agree about possibly switching out the 2nd tacticals for Despoilers, and may end up doing that for 2000 points.

The apothecary with them, especially if dropping onto an objective has helped with interceptor,

6 is kind of the max for the Lascannon as that's the most that can be in the building. I could put some on the battlements I think but not sure how those rules work exactly yet lol.

I've never been one for really maxing the artificer armor, and rather get more bodies but I've always played too many horde armies over the years lol. An extra wound/shot adds up but I'll try taking a few guys off the 2nd squad for the AA on the Apothecaries to soak late AP3 shots.

Then you can put him with the lascannons to buff their psychic checks and give + 1 BS

#

Don't use a MoS it also debuffs your DS. Use the new Numeroligist instead

strange helm
#

Unfortunately the MoS is worded very poorly and is a net negative for DS. But the new Numerological is definitely on my 3k list, already started building a Warpsmith to use as the tech marine lol.

I could see taking the tactical to 10 man and getting rid of their apothecary to add the numerologist. Trying to maximize deployment to give the Lascannons and the 20 man unit +1 BS.

Todays new errata fixed the MoS 🙂
