Ok, so, I did it. I hate myself for doing it, and I'll probably be painting models for the rest of the week just to pull this off. But I did it. I found a list that abides in the generally accepted range of "Balanced" and fits my army theme, my models, and my general playstyle. Is it totally optimized? No way in heck. But I'm going to enjoy playing the crap out of this list on Saturday. (As an interesting aside, Thanks Eric for giving someone else on the forums the advice I needed to hear... play a list you know.)
So... here goes nothing:
190 Vulkan He'stan
100 Librarian, Null Zone, Gate of Infinity
215 10 man Tactical Squad, Multimelta, Combimelta, Flamer, Rhino
215 10 man Tactical Squad, Multimelta, Combimelta, Flamer, Rhino
270 8 man Sternguard Squad, Heavy Flamer x2, Combimelta x3, Rhino
270 8 man Sternguard Squad, Heavy Flamer x2, Combimelta x3, Rhino
120 5 man Devastator Squad, Missile Launcher x2
120 5 man Devastator Squad, Missile Launcher x2
1500 Total
OR
190 Vulkan He'stan
100 Librarian, Null Zone, Gate of Infinity
215 10 man Tactical Squad, Multimelta, Combimelta, Flamer, Rhino
215 10 man Tactical Squad, Multimelta, Combimelta, Flamer, Rhino
195 5 man Sternguard Squad, Heavy Flamer x2, Combimelta x3, Rhino
195 5 man Sternguard Squad, Heavy Flamer x2, Combimelta x3, Rhino
135 5 man Devastator Squad, Missile Launcher x3
135 5 man Devastator Squad, Missile Launcher x3
120 5 man Devastator Squad, Missile Launcher x2
I like the first one better...
I'm glad someone liked my advice since the person I was giving it to didn't seem to like it :-)
ReplyDeleteAs far as it goes I like list 2 better as it has more target saturation. But I think both are pretty good so go whichever you like best.
I was kind of afraid you'd say that... but good news is, I ended up going with List #2. Lots of converting my Long Fangs back to Devastators and (even more) painting, than I had originally planned upon, but at least I feel comfortable with the list. Also, I'd kill for a couple Predator Destructors and MM/HF Speeders (or Typhoons for that matter) right now, but alas, all I have is marine bodies aplenty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eric!
