#

Chaplain is attached to the more expensive assault squad unit

#

The Warmonger teleports into combat with the red butchers

#

The RoW can be taken or not, don't think I have anything in the list that requires the RoW to be active, or that restricts me from taking it. So I just threw it in cause that is the one I'd like to use.

#

A thing I was considering maybe dropping a melta bomb and adding a 4th assault squad just to get more bodies on the floor.

#

I was talking to my boyfriend about it yesterday and he was thinking adding something to deal with mass amounts of infantry. Unno if that is the right way to go or not.

From other threads I gathered that you are supposed to (?) ping the respectiev role, so sorry for the doot :/ <@&877303441716809749>

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 11:41 AM

#

Change the power axe on the chaplain for a Falax Blade. +1 Attack +1 Initiative in a challenge +1S and 4+ it becomes AP2.

#

Makes it more likely you can take a challenge and survive rather than hoping your I1 axe does well.

#

Likely swap all Sgt weapons to Falax Blades

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 11:43 AM

#

Oh can he take those? The rules said the power weapon is the symbol of his office, so it seemed like he couldn take it.

#

give everyone Falax Blades, gotcha makes sense.

#

they are one of the cooler looking ones, so no issue from my side haha

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 11:44 AM

#

Any independent Character can take Caedare weapons for +15 points

#

Falax blades are fucking bonkers

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 11:45 AM

#

so he gets two of them for 15pts?

#

does he still get a pistol or no

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 11:45 AM

#

I believe he swaps his CC weapon for the Falax Blades only.

#

They count as two specialist weapons so that's where the +1A comes from.

#

Red butchers I would caution against

#

They aren't well regarded, for their output and costs and the ravening madmen -1S incoming attacks in assault phase doesn't help for Instant death

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 11:47 AM

#

Yea, I read about them in the earlier tactica roundup. I unno tbh. if I don't take them I'd probs switch out the warmonger too

#

maybe pivot into a full melee orientated bike squad with commander

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 11:49 AM

#

Swap out the Butchers for a rampager squad maybe? Give them jump packs?

A bit expensive tbh but WS5 with base 2 attacks, built in Caedare weapons for Falax blades means they output 5 attacks each on the charge.

#

I'm not the best memory but I think they get furious charge for S6 on the charge which means if you can hit an enemy with Rad missiles they hit at Instant death on the charge. Perfect for deleting a squad of terminators.

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 11:55 AM

#

Hmm

#

thinking about what might be a good replacement for the warmonger

#

the rampagers for sure are cool and a great shout

#

the weapons tho seem a lil bit of an issue? or are mixed weapon squads of rampagers working?

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 11:57 AM

#

What's the issue with rampagers weapons?

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 11:57 AM

#

plain lagoon thinking about what might be a good replacement for the warmonger

Warmonger is the warlord trait yeah?

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 11:58 AM

#

like one has the mage, the other the blades, two have axes, and forgot what the fifth one has

#

does that work or would they really be required to lean into one weapon

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 11:58 AM

#

Because there is a fun one that increases the warlords wounds when he kills or sweeps or something to that effect to a max of +3 I think, could be funny.

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 11:58 AM

#

nah warmonger is a consul type. basically he and a unit he is attached to teleport into combat

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 11:59 AM

#

plain lagoon like one has the mage, the other the blades, two have axes, and forgot what the ...

I don't think there is any requirement for them to be uniform weapons. Falax blades are best imo but you could have an even split I think.

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 11:59 AM

#

plain lagoon nah warmonger is a consul type. basically he and a unit he is attached to telepo...

Ah

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 11:59 AM

#

yea so the butchers wouldn need to foot slog, if that changes stuff

#

they'd teleport in, get a mishap, and all die instantly without me even having to take em out the case

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 12:01 PM

#

You could give them lightning claws and charge anything that isn't a terminator or dreadnaught

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 12:01 PM

#

vital patrol Because there is a fun one that increases the warlords wounds when he kills or s...

that sounds friggin amazing. haven't looked at WT yet but defo keeping an eye out for it

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 12:01 PM

#

Have rampager jetpacks with falax blades to bully any terminator or Dreadnaught

#

Yeah butcher Lclaws for the 3+ bully squad and the rampager jetpack for the 2+ bully squad could work.

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 12:10 PM

#

hmm, imma look into fittin that rampager squad into the army too

#

so keeping the butchers, lookin to add rampies

#

do assault squads need melta bombs?

#

cause that'd be 30pts saved right there already

#

I probs have enough anti armor

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 12:14 PM

#

Butchers with LClaws get re-rolls to hit and wound which is nice but only ap2 on a 6 to wound which does mean a terminator or artificer Sgt can stall them, which means a good challenge can eat the squad and any extra wounds can bounce through to him afterwards.

#

Butchers have 2 attacks to 4 with Lclaws and 6 on the charge which means you've got pretty good odds of taking out anything but a 15+ vet squad and combat res means you'll likely force a flee there and reduce them to a manageable size.

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 12:20 PM

#

and on the charge with 6 attacks each means I have a decent change of scoring 6s for that AP2

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 12:23 PM

#

Still too risky for a terminator charge but good odds that the devoured can get the rending on the sgt if you give him Lclaws which I probably wouldn't, probably a better option there.

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 12:38 PM

#

an alternative

#

so the butchers n the warmonger I already own, actually own all the infantry already lol

#

could put them aside for a termie centric zone mortalis list, and free up a lot of points that way

#

maybe add Kharn and a dedicated kill unit for him

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 12:49 PM

#

Kharn with Rampagers seems like an awesome combo, chosen warriors means you pick one to go at I5 to eat the challenge and you let Kharn get instant death on a 3+ and I think he has precision strikes.

You can't make reactions against him and you can use an advanced WE reaction to do the same in their turn. He kills basically 8 enemies by himself with gorechild

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

can he take a jump pack?

#

like, how do people get him into combat?

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

Unfortunately he cannot, means you gotta send him on a bus or just footslog

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 12:56 PM

#

ah that kinda blows

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 12:57 PM

#

A bit of a shame but i think he might be TOO powerful with a jetpack

plain lagoon Jul 4, 2022, 12:57 PM

#

oh yea fair

#

supposedly the best praetor in the game

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

The other threats are sigi and anyone who can get a better Initiative value with enough attacks, sevatar and Typhoid mary both can be good threats to him. I5 is his biggest weakness, he is fast enough to take out and take on any generic enemy though.

severe warren Jul 4, 2022, 1:20 PM

#

he's definitely in the running for best named praetor

vital patrol Jul 4, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

His trait of no reactions allowed against his charges is great

#

Give him a feel no pain and so long as you don't cop an ID attack he can take down most of the other named praetors with his 3+ ID gorechild.

plain lagoon Jul 5, 2022, 9:20 AM

#

I talked about it with some people from my playgroup and they all were in favor of termies, it mebe not being the best but being the option I find cool, all of them taking crappy stuff for the same reason too.

#

So imma order 5 more red butchers to give claws, let's me switch stuff out n play around with stuff

vital patrol Jul 5, 2022, 9:26 AM

#

Sounds good, just remember they will stall and likely die to terminators

#

Tricky against characters

plain lagoon Jul 5, 2022, 9:26 AM

#

ye, but they'll die in bloodshed owo

#

with the warmonger having a claw and fist, hopefully won't be TOO bad

vital patrol Jul 5, 2022, 9:27 AM

#

Yep

plain lagoon Jul 5, 2022, 9:27 AM

#

like against characters

vital patrol Jul 5, 2022, 9:27 AM

#

Claw and fist is good

#

Two specialist weapons and options for ID and 3+ save at I removal

plain lagoon Jul 5, 2022, 9:28 AM

#

do I get an extra attack for them btw, or do they have to be the same specialist weapon to get that?

severe warren Jul 5, 2022, 9:30 AM

#

you get the extra attack

#

they just both need to be specialist weapons

plain lagoon Jul 5, 2022, 9:30 AM

#

oh nice

#

but yea, anyone got ideas what to do with the remaining 145pts?

#

my big two considerations were uh

#

take away a melta bomb from one squad and in return add a 4th assault squad

#

or add a vehicle, could do another vindicator for 105pts and use the rest for upgrades

#

or something else, but unsure what would fit this army/the legion

vital patrol Jul 5, 2022, 10:54 AM

#

Give falax blades to all Sgt's

#

artificer armour on the sgt's and then more bodies.

severe warren Jul 5, 2022, 12:31 PM

#

on a Falax blades note, anyone got a good source for some 3rd party options?
