[twin wave]

Oh this is actually the best kind of horifying

6 Triarios' will be a pain for people to deal with especiall since they'll be ramming almost every turn.

I would recommend you split up your Krios' into individual units as much as possible

as it gives you more flexability and survivability

[deft compass]

In this case aren’t they out of slots?

Or do you get more than 2 slots for krios?

[twin wave]

forge remnants adds like 5 Heavy support slots

[deft compass]

Jeez

[twin wave]

Might be worth dropping the nuncio voxes as well

[deft compass]

Yeah individuals are the way to go

Voxes are nice for the lightning cannons

At least a couple

[twin wave]

they're only countering the -1 night LD which is not as useful as you'd think especially with warrior elite effectively doing so already

[twin wave]

fair

[raven heath]

Oh thanks for letting me know!

Thought I only got 2 extra lol

[twin wave]

let me check

[twin wave]

we're both wrong! it's 3

[raven heath]

Damn

I'll spilt the lighting cannon ones so they can hit different targets

@twin wave @deft compass This does actually bring up an interesting question: Do I keep the Leman Russes or replace them with more Krios?

[deft compass]

Hmmm

[rocky merlin]

Russes are more durable

[deft compass]

I feel like the variety is helpful as your opponent needs different weapons to hurt a leman Russ

[raven heath]

Very true

[rocky merlin]

Autocannons can pen krios relatively reliably

S7 can't pen even a militia russ

[deft compass]

Exactly, plus the vanquisher has a different role in terms of what it can shoot

It’s solid into land raiders (except flare shielded spartan) and has that sweet sweet brutal for killing terminators or dreads

[raven heath]

Hell yeah

[twin wave]

The brutal will be useful

against dreads and terminators

[deft compass]

This is a sick list, the hard part will be acquiring all the models. (Unless you have a 3d printer of course)

[twin wave]

It's a very fun new take on the army, and one I think has a lot of room to succeed too

[raven heath]

Thanks guys, glad I did well

Actually it's better than most marine Lists I and up putting together

[raven heath]

I'm gonna look into the 3d printing route but I don't wonder if anyone has built the Krios and Triaros and how hard they are to build

[deft compass]

Triarios is in plastic so shouldn’t be too bad, but we are still waiting on the krios

Krios is still available but in resin, I believe

And then for the laser destroyers you pretty much have to add normal humans to the marine variant. Shouldn’t be too bad

[raven heath]

Yeah that will be easy

[deft compass]

Or I guess with the mech theme, you might want to opt into kitbashing skitarii

[raven heath]

And forget they did the Triaros in plastic

[raven heath]

Yeah people were suggesting that to me but I wanted to do Praetorian Guard for my guys

[deft compass]

That’s chill

Maybe just give em some robo arms or cyber eyes to still evoke the Mechanicum

Or you could kitbash the mech vehicles to look similar to more standard imperial vehicles like Russes

[twin wave]

dont even need too

Forge remnant is specifically fluffed as the militia having these without Admech approval or knowledge

[raven heath]

Hell yeah

Wargames Atlantic has a really good box for Praetorian Guard

And only need three boxes since it comes with 20 guys each

And the extra for the command squad

Also should have looked at what the Vexilla does lol

Don't plan on getting into Melee 🤣

[deft compass]

Oh that’s awesome

[deft compass]

Yeah they aren’t nearly as good as the marine variant, I’d say skip unless you have extra pts

I think taking them out would give you enough pts to add 1 special weapon per squad, if u wanted to

[twin wave]

Grenade launchers are a good budget option that sometimes pins stuff

otherwise melta is the go to

[raven heath]

Yeah that's what I was thinking

[raven heath]

Wish we could get the Dawn of War 1 grenade launchers 🤣

[deft compass]

New plastic Krios was just announced, might make this wacky list reasonably doable

[raven heath]

Yeah saw that and immediately thought back to this lol

I think GW is trying to tell me something 😂

[deft compass]

Lmao they want ur money 💰

[inner vigil]

I really like the look of this list and may steal it for myself with some slight changes 😛

My current Militia list has close to 600 infantry... and play Unending Horde... so the units come back on 4+ and even the units that come back can come back again on a 4+...
This looks a lot more enjoyable and easy to transport an army around 🙂
