alright this list has a good core

#

not sure about 5 phoenix terminators with the warlord, as those now go on bullying smaller squads duty, but youve got your palatines plus chaplain to go on and fight larger ws5 units.

#

I'd personally love to see the kakophoni dropped for 2 apoth with sonic shirkers (unit), then switching the assault marines to sonic lances on every guy

crude flare
#

Thanks! I very well may do that! I was thinking about the Sonic Lances but wasn't sure I wanted to roll 15 scatter dice/templates lol

thick mesa
#

templates dont scatter

#

youre thinking of blasts

crude flare
#

Oh true

#

Nice

#

So they're flamers

thick mesa
#

literally yes

#

flamers that do nothing but on a 6, however said 6 goes through armor

crude flare
#

Yep and pins yeah?

thick mesa
#

well forces a pinning check but yes

crude flare
#

yea

thick mesa
#

luv my sonic templates, remeber all of them wall of death for d3 autohits each if pinned or if returning fire/overwatch

crude flare
#

All units have to have the same surgical augment in 3rd company? So I can throw in a Apoth with a Shriker into the Lance Assaults?

#

can't*

crude flare
#

Easy swap

#

Also yeah 3rd company requires all surgical augments to be the same to answer my own question.

# thick mesa where did I miss new fulgrim being points revealed? also thats 600 points for mo...

"As you may have guessed from the cover, this is also the first place you can find the rules for the monstrous new resin miniature of Fulgrim Transfigured, as well as special rules and rites for particularly corrupted hosts of Emperor’s Children. The fallen Phoenician is a literal daemon in combat, with a range of devastating tricks and attacks, and a suitably weighty points value of 600."

hunh missed that

I’m partial to Paragon of Excellence in a heavy melee list like this, but other that and the suggestions Coco made, looks super solid to me.

crude flare
#

Also did the kakophoni for 2 apoths swap

thick mesa
#

I mean yeah sometimes no one on here responds if theyre nothing they can think of to change

crude flare
#

Oh no I didn't mean it like that

#

Just thanking Kitten for the feedback

thick mesa
#

oh I was saying unrelated to ongoing conversation dont mind me

zealous slate
#

Paragon of excellence gives you great defensive options.

thick mesa
#

trust me ive posted a lot of flyer based lists recently and got few to literally 0 comments on them because literally no one knows fliers

crude flare
#

Ah I get ya

zealous slate
#

And adding those sonic shrieker apoths makes your life way easier for mass assaults. Not much feels better than vomiting sonic lances on an encircled unit, then making them hate life in combat once they’re pinned 😄

crude flare
thick mesa
#

yeah?

zealous slate
#

Yes. The apothecary unit gets sonic shriekers via 3CE for 30pts. Then you break them up and add one to each assault squad.

crude flare
#

"All models in the unit must be given the same surgical augment" tripped me up I guess

zealous slate
#

The assault squads get sonic lances the same way.

crude flare
#

Gotcha

#

That's awesome

thick mesa
#

wacky interaction but its wierd that way

zealous slate
crude flare
#

I appreciate it you two!

#

so same idea on the Palatine Blades and Chaplain?

#

Flamers on Blades and Shrieker on Chaplain?

thick mesa
#

that exactly yep

crude flare
#

Sweeet

thick mesa
#

I can vouch for this listyle working once you learn it ive played a similar style for the better part of the last year

crude flare
#

I was re-reading the article on the Fulgrim and battle book and it seems like we're getting multiple Rites. I'm hyped

thick mesa
