Armored spearhead RoW
HQ: master of armor sicaran: 220pts

Sponson lascannons
Pintle combi-melta
Searchlight, missile
Troops: 2x predator: 175pts each
Volkite macro-saker
Sponson volkite culverins
Pintle combi-volkite
Dozer blade, searchlight
Troops: 2x predator: 185pts each
Heavy conversion beam cannon
Lascannon sponsons
Pintle multi-melta
Dozer blade, searchlight
Heavy support: kratos: 440pts
Kratos battle cannon
Lascannon sponsons
Lascannon hull
Pintle multi-melta
Dozer blade, flare shield, missile, searchlight
Heavy support: Scorpius: 120pts
No upgrades

First list with what I hope is a good balance between anti-armor and anti-infantry. I've been told the best way to run tanks is to dedicate each to a set role, since they generally can't split fire between multiple targets. Might expand on this if I can fit more than these in my case.

I think you need a few tanks

I know I need a few tanks

#

This is just the first 1.5k to see how much I can fit in my case after

#

Out of the gate my gut feeling is that at 1500 you're gonna need more anti infantry focus. Obv it depends on your local meta.

Also a Sicaran Squadron may be a better option than a Kratos.

#

You can probably even fit in another Choom predator with that change as well

#

Another note. You have access to shrapnel sponsons for pinning. May be useful in a points levels that is very infantry heavy

#

Also see how many points you gain by dropping the pintle on everything. May can fit another conversion beam pred

#

Dropping the pintles and dozers/missiles lets me fit a second Scorpius, so that's pretty neat ~~and another $65~~

#

From experience, I would slap a searchlight on every tank

main wave Mar 22, 2023, 12:31 PM

#

Yeah I have searchlights on everything that isn't a scorpius

west condor Mar 22, 2023, 12:31 PM

#

My apologizes friend, I scanned and didn’t search hard enough

main wave Mar 22, 2023, 12:32 PM

#

All good

#

I'm pretty attached to the kratos since I'm in love with the model

#

Setting tanks to a single role is a trap in tank heavy lists ime. Being able to threaten impactful reactions via defensive weaponry is important for making sure you get some value before your tank squads go boom

#

I would look into getting some Shrapnelcannon sponsons/pintles into the mix as well; theyre defensive weapons which means you can pin infantry on reactions potentially

#

Also; you definitely can splitfire with vehicles more easily than any other unit type. If a sponson cant see the main target, it can split fire to another target. Defensive weapons can always splitfire into the nearest Infantry unit. I regularly target 2/3 units per shooting phase with my aggressive melta/shrapnel preds

🤔

#

switching the sponson lascannons/volkites to shrapnel freed up a lot of points that can go back into pintle mounts, i guess

i tested storage space in my case with notecard cutouts and i should be able to fit 6 predator/scorpius sized tanks, 1 kratos, and 3 sicarans at the absolute max

Shhhhhhhhh shhhhhhh sleep now. For tomorrow you build the tanks

#

the new edition teasers have piqued my interest and one of my friends has been heckling me for months to play that rancid game with him

#

only needing to buy one set of tanks instead of two would appease my wallet

#

I've played since 3rd Ed. 8th was a big downgrade and the beginning of the end of me playing 40k

#

I'm heavily considering selling my entire collection. And dumping the money into a few legions

main wave Mar 23, 2023, 7:30 PM

#

better than leaving all that plastic sitting there collecting dust

#

just be sure to keep models you're proud of and/or have fond memories of

gray glacier Mar 23, 2023, 7:32 PM

#

Oh I still have 10k of Firstborn Space Wolves. No way to sell them even if I wanted to.
