Hi All, first effort at a full-scale HH2.0 list, thoughts?

HQ -
Cataphractii Praetor, Warsmith, Thunder Hammer
Warlord Trait - Tyrant of the Lyssatra
170pts

Cataphractii Centurion, Siege Breaker
130pts

Centurion, Armistos
75pts

Troops -
Tactical Squad, 20 Marines, Chain Bayonet, Nuncio-vox, Power Fist
245pts

Tactical Squad, 20 Marines, Chain Bayonet, Nuncio-vox, Power Fist
245pts

Elites -
Rapier Battery, 3 Rapiers, Quad Guns, Phosphex Shells
240pts

Rapier Battery, 3 Rapiers, Quad Guns, Phosphex Shells
240pts

Cataphractii Terminators, 10 Terms, 4x2 Lightning Claws, 3 Chainfists, Grenade Harness
405pts
Dedicated Transport - Spartan, Lascannons, Flare Shield
425pts

Heavy Support -
Tyrant Siege Terminators, 10 Terms
575pts

Scorpius Squadron, 2 tanks, 2 Pintle-mounted Shrapnel Cannons
249pts

Basic idea - Rapiers dump Phosphex on enemy infantry, Tyrants, Spartan and Scorpius burn down vehicles (Spartan also delivers the other Terminators to something worth killing), tacs advance up the board and try to take objectives. Characters all join the Tyrants to make them as prickly as possible.

Looks solid

#

Scorpius is also quite good at killing infantry

#

I’m not sold on the regular cars

#

Cats

#

I think you might be better served with a dreadnought or two

#

But also dominators

#

I also want hammernators

# real schooner I’m not sold on the regular cars

me neither to be perfectly honest, but I'm trying to make use of the whole AoD box for the moment. I do love the Domitar as a model, but it doesn't really fit (I'm playing Loyalist for fluff reasons/Kyr Vhalen and Barabas Dantioch being badasses, even if Kyr's current rules leave something to be desired).

Also yes, I should have said the Scorpius will fire at whatever threat is necessary.

#

Dantioch is cool, I really enjoyed the story

#

I mean dominators

#

Perturabo’s old bodyguard

#

225 for 5 WS5 hammernators

#

As mentioned in the main IW thread, they can’t take a spartan as a ride

#

So the spartan takes a HS slot

#

But with a 2 man squadron of whirlwinds + 10x tyrants u can do that

#

oooooohhh

#

Yeah, WS5 is big because you hit contemptors on 4 and regular termies on 3

#

WS4 termies can’t really threaten contemptors - they swing at I1 and the gravis fist just mauls them

Just occurred to me that Ironfire might be an illegal choice since I don't have any Arquitor/Medusa/Basilisk squadrons, and while I don't have any Cav either 0 is not more than 0

Huh

#

That could be annoying

#

Take an arquitor I guess

#

I think the armistos could be ditched

unique agate
#

the Armistos is mainly there for BS5 on the Tyrants

#

will probably just rework the list and use HoO, but keep the arty for flavour purposes

#

adding in an Arquitor is painful as of itself, because like Basilisks and Medusae, they're 200/185pts, it's unpleasant

#

reworked version:

Hammer of Olympia

HQ-
Kyr Vhalen (195)
Cataphractii Siege Breaker, Thunder Hammer (145)
Master of Signals (95)

Troops-
Tactical Squad, 20 Marines, Nuncio-vox, Shrapnel Bolts, Power Fist (265)
x2

Elites-
Rapier Battery, 3 Quad Guns, Phosphex, Shatter (300)
x2

Fast Attack-
Sabre Squadron, 3 tanks, Autocannons and Shrapnel Cannons (246)

Heavy Support-
Tyrants x10 (575)
Havocs x10, Lascannons (385)
2 Scorpius (225)

total 2996

#

Kyr makes the Havocs relentless (because who doesn't love freely-mobile BS5 lascannons), and then either goes into the Tyrant blob to advance, or sticks with the Havocs for backline protection, depending on what's on the other side of the table
