++ Total: [2,990Pts] ++

the army is quarter themed as a word bearers Herald of desolation, preaching for the becoming of the warmaster as a heinous mouthpiece proclaiming the death of the invaded world, whilst the other 3 quarters is a blitzkreig of sons of horus power.

if anyone has any thoughts let me know, im looking at dropping the levithan pods for something more fun in the wordberers detachment but im unsure what atm

OH also ^ fwiw, my playgroup is a little bit more spikey (competitive) than the avg i believe (hence the dark brethren spice)

but before someone calls me waac, if we wanted this list to be juiced to the nine yards, make the HSS a 10 man and replace the levis and destroyers with many contemptors and probably throw in a librarian or two

but that list is a bit unfun and more a thought experiment than anything imo

Find point to put erebus.

Take off destroyer missile launcher. Dont need them in your squad. And 5 lascannons dies easily. If you can make them at 10 full strengh squad with interseptor. Save point with the dreadnought pod. I usely play 2 levy on foot. I never loose them in late game. Use them as a strong decoy

Change your power lance for power axe for ap2. And rhino could be use full to move them faster

not really interested in erebus as a character and i don’t think his stats matter much ?

the missle launchers are 70% the reason to take them imo, i like them a lot, why do you want to cut them ?

that’s true, i like the HSS tho but your right they’re a bit fragile

i’d rather not spend 600ish points on a decoy, i’m much happier using them as a sucker punch from deepstrike than have them lumbering around all game,

lances are fantastic for hunting armour 3+ id much rather use them for that purpose than play a poor ap2 weapon
