Well two tourneys down and no good luck so far..... First tournament I placed 9 of 10. Last tournament I placed 6 of 6... Case and point, I'm doing something wrong. But what is it? I took Honor Guard in my last tourney, which did nothing for me. And the other thing I noticed was the Vindicator likes to get shot at, ALOT. All my tanks get shot at to be honest, but what can I do about it? I've seriously been reconsidering putting Dreadnaughts back into my list. At least 2 of them. By dropping the Honor guard, that would give me enough points for 1.5 dreadnaughts. I could also slash some of my jump pack assault squads to get even more points. I normally run at least 3 assault squads in rhinos, 5 man squads. But lately I've ran a 10man assault squad with jump packs and power fist. It hasn't done much for me. By dropping or lower the points spent on that 10 man squad, I could get my second dread and add an attack bike or two. Sounds kind of good to me, but will it work? Not sure but I'm willing to give it a shot. So here is a basica run down of the list after alterations....
Lemartes
Corbulo
3-5man assault squads with power swords and Rhinos/extra armor
3 Baal Predators
2 Dreadnaughts(not sure yet which variation I want, probly Furioso Venerable)
Land speeder w/ MM and Hvy Flamer
2 Attack bikes
Death company - 3 with jump packs(more if points allow)
Not much for objective grabbing, but that's why my troops need to hide and let the rest of it do the work. Yes, they can still do some damage, but they are too valuable to lose in objective games. Now I just need to play test it... If this works, I'm missing a few models to complete it. I would need 2 Baal predators and at least 1 dread. Due to unforeseen happenings, I was recently given my Venerable dread back from an ebay auction gone weird. International shipping is a pain, that's all I can say....

You could drop a Baal for 2 Drop Pods to get your squads in on the objectives?
ReplyDeleteYou make a good suggestion. The thing with my assault squads is I could actually take Drop Pods instead of Rhinos, for free without the jump packs. This is definitley something I will consider. So I could theoretically still have the 3 Baals and Drop podding marines.
