Hi I was looking to build either a raven guard, imperial fists or legio custodies list
#IF - Age of Darkness - 2k - New player, need help
meager cipher
grand dagger
How many points?
meager cipher
1.5k-2k, since it would be my first game
alpine echo
Dont go custodes for your first game
You will get a very distorted picture of the game
meager cipher
fair
alpine echo
I made that mistake
Took me long to adjust to the relative fragility of a Legion afterwardq
meager cipher
ok so what are the differences in playstyle between fists and raven guard
alpine echo
Well.
Rg you infiltrate everything more or less
And get to surgically hit whatever you want
If youll likely play stone gauntlet
And laugh behind your T5 dudes shieldwall
In this game IF are one of the two vanilla marines
meager cipher
the other being?
alpine echo
IF and DA
meager cipher
i would think ultramarine
alpine echo
DA are basically vanilla.. but can pay to specialize and are special through wargear
Oh my no.
Ultra are super cool tho
meager cipher
what do they do?
meager cipher
ok
alpine echo
Me, I play well..
DA and Talons
So I know what I speak of
So lets see. 1.5k zone mortalis?
Id suggest the following:
Delegatus as HQ
IF, stone Gauntlet
Breacher troop tax obviously
Then a unit of termies, cataphractii with shields, some chainfists and at least 1 assault cannon.
Then bring a contemptor.
Either a Kheres Mortis
Or a cortus with chainfist and multimelta.
See what this would feel like
You get a block of super tough 2+/3++/T5 termies
And a dread to remove enemy dreads
Sound solid, @hushed swallow ?
hushed swallow
alpine echo
Cant recall points costs but you should be able to fit this in ZM decently
hushed swallow
y-yes i agree, and i have lots of 30k experience i swear
alpine echo
I just figured this would feel imperial fist-y.
Part of that famous stonewall, part pf that famous imperial fisting.
hushed swallow
though floppa should keep in mind there's gonna be a new edition 'soon'™️ and we have no proper information on what'll be good or not
alpine echo
Dont worry bout that
None of us should
30k aint the game to worry about that.
Just chillax and slay traitors
hushed swallow
true
meager cipher
I just figured this would feel imperial fist-y.
i was thinking i should do vanilla first
but by vanilla do you mean they have no cool special rules or they do and they are not that complex
alpine echo
They are..
Their thing is theyre better at being basic.
Bonuses when raking cover
+1BS using bolters
Theyre plain solid
And play much like the lore says
They have cool wargear
The 3++ shields for termies
Prototype assault cannons for termies too
And ofc Sigismund
The single most lethal nonprimarch in the game
meager cipher
ok
ima think on this
im leaning on corvus gang tho cause then i can justify using all beakies
knotty templeBOT
