Any advice for this melee centric list? I'm a bit worried about my anti-tank, but I'm not sure what to do about it.
Also I feel like 2 sources of pinning might not be enough, what do you guys think?

#

Looking at the list, I think it might be a bit better to take an astropath over the ascendent rogue psyker, mostly for telepathy, but then who do I attach the astropath without getting him in harms way is the question

#

You could ve tried pure militia and used chaos spawns

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 12:21 PM

#

Hmm true

#

But my thought process for the daemon brutes was as an anti-termie unit for when all of my poor goobers can't push through 2+ save units or other super killy melee units

#

I could use greater mutated spawn instead, but that would require taking tainted flesh and I'm not sure which provenances to remove

amber loom Aug 10, 2024, 12:23 PM

#

the greater one can be placed in a gorgon btw

#

its melee weapon is s9 ap2 brutal 3

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 12:27 PM

#

Oh yeah it would absolutely do work

#

But then I'd have to remove feral warriors and I like me some chainaxes

amber loom Aug 10, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

Melee infantry squads don't really work.
You have bad durability and I.
That means that when you face astartes they will often murder a lot of your unit and it wont even swing.

#

It's good to give the machariuses some autocannons as well for weapon destroyed protection.

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 7:59 PM

#

amber loom It's good to give the machariuses some autocannons as well for weapon destroyed ...

Ohh good call

My dream

#

My poor poor dream

distant pecan Aug 10, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

Whya re you giving the FC a 3++ when you largely want him to die to proc the WLT

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

I wasn't thinking of letting him die tbh

#

But yeah maybe a change in warlord trait is worth considering

#

Not sure what to put on him though. Hell I'm not sure what I want him to do in the first place aside from unlock the provenances

short topaz Aug 10, 2024, 8:02 PM

#

Well in that case I'd say a dfiferent warlord trait would be useful. Robber baron is fun but largely a bit useless, if you're looking specifically for effectiveness then Marcher Lord is your best bet

#

Helps with not getting pinned, immune to fear if that comes into play and a very needed second reaction on shooting phase

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 8:03 PM

#

Hmm would have to remove the rogue psykers and the daemons then, but it could work

amber loom Aug 10, 2024, 8:03 PM

#

You barely have at as well.

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 8:06 PM

#

Hmmm, if I remove the chainaxes on infantry, remove the psykers and daemons, then I think I'll have to rely on mutated spawn and maybe their big HS cousins for melee instead

#

Should I just remove feral warriors?

#

If I'm relying on the spawn for melee, then the chainaxes seem redundant. And hatred from debased rabble would be good enough without the +1 WS

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

amber loom You barely have at as well.

Any suggestions for anti tank? My HS slots are a bit stuffed so maybe some fast attack?

#

Oh and also options that aren't the venator. I want to see what else there is

amber loom Aug 10, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

vital pagoda Any suggestions for anti tank? My HS slots are a bit stuffed so maybe some fast ...

Carnodons then.

#

They too work well.

#

Very fitting for militia since the imperial armories had millions of them stockpiled.

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

I was thinking of maybe a flyer but thunderbolts seem... Iffy

amber loom Aug 10, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

Devildogs might work too I suppose.

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

The kelanio is there I guess?

amber loom Aug 10, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

3 melta shots on a m14 vehicle for 70 pts I think.

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

Ohhh hellhounds can take meltas

amber loom Aug 10, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

And become devildogs.

#

Carnodons are little monsters as well BTW.

#

Soft but have insane firepower.

#

Oh...I did not notice you had fire support lascannons.

#

I guess I would just make the unit 10 man strong and give them a defense line to hide behind.

vital pagoda Aug 10, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

Oh shit I forgot a defense line

#

The human army staple

amber loom Aug 10, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

10 lascannons plus 2 macharius vanquishers with autocannons plus your medusas should be enough at.
