#3k Sons of Horus

esoterist with no daemon seems like a wierd choice
its not a bad list thres quite a few suboptimal weapons choices, tho idk if any are intentional

im not really sure what im doing here so im just running off what people recommended
harsh tundra
well first question is what level of power are you going for? compared to 40k theres a decent stigmatism against playing for powergaming, but how strong your local group is really varies on how you should be building your list

my scene is generally strong I think? or around mid-upper tier
harsh tundra
ok cool
quasi patio
they have a lot of tournaments in my LGS
harsh tundra
(im US I dont know element enough)
harsh tundra
but first thing, the best terminator weapon is a thunder hammer. Like 5-6 in every squad should have one if this is a tournament based list
quasi patio
im not gonna be playing events and tournaments just yet though, I just want a list that can stay on its own feet

whats wrong with carosan axes?
harsh tundra
even still, power swords arent going to do enough. Carsonian power axes are good for ablative wounds but you want at least a few hammers to really sweep through dreadnoughts, terminators, and other things
harsh tundra
whats wrong with carosan axes?
ok let me put it in 40k terms: Carsonian axes would be S3 ap2 d1, thunder hammers are s12 ap4 d4
quasi patio
justaerin get +1 strength dont they?
harsh tundra
it morseo that only the breaches really matter imo. Sure spamming saves isnt the worst, but you dont win combat with 30k ap4
quasi patio
Carosans are AP3 tho
harsh tundra
Carosans are AP3 tho
ap3 is still resolved as ap- vs a 2+ armor save in this game
and with every squad having at least one artificer armor for a 2+, well you either need a ton of snipers or just ignore ap3 and go straight to the allmighty ap2 (lower is better here)
harsh tundra
thunder hammers are still flavorful wut
quasi patio
TH's dont feel super sons of horus-y
harsh tundra
the upgrade kit literally is shown with a thunder hammer. Also yknow, the whole astarties "best tool for the job" kind of thing
harsh tundra
end of the day its your army do what you feel is right but I really think theyre flavorful and good, I wouldnt recommend it otherwise
harsh tundra
still thats going to be pricy as hell
recast? idk if element is fine with those or not
harsh tundra
oh you just drop the combi meltas to taste on teh justaren. Keep the 2 multis but combis are just overkill
quasi patio
you sure? Im just worried about if im going to be low on AT
harsh tundra
youve got a spartan, 2 contemtpors, and a leviathan
kit said contemtpors out with gravis meltas instead of kheres and you dont care about tanks
quasi patio
ok
didnt know what to give the contemptors honestly
kheres/fist were the default loadout
is the levi ok?
harsh tundra
id find the points to give him a phosphex but otherwise the storm cannon is servicable
good anti everything
quasi patio
so you said like 5-6 thunder hammers on the justaerin?
or the normal cataphractii squad
quasi patio
take a couple catas out of the 10 man if you need even more points
are the two plasma blasters fine?
harsh tundra
honestly probably droppable
I mean youre dropping at least one if youre reducing the squad size
quasi patio
hmmm
chainfists with multi melta
or have the chainfists on the ones without multi meltas
quasi patio
hammers with multi meltas
do i still keep the chainfists?
harsh tundra
keep 1
one chainfist in a squad can give you what you need to pop a vehicle, but anything more then that and youre wasting attacks
quasi patio
https://pastebin.com/2gm6aUN2 @harsh tundra i tried to put in the changes you recommended
harsh tundra
👍 looks good at this point
