Hi,

After my thousand sons were an absolute disaster and i can't a way to run them, i've decided to go Emperor's Children as I loved reading about them in Horus Heresy. The games we play at my GW are 1500 points and i have two list ideas that i want to run.

Obliterator (x1): MoS, VoTLW - 71

Obliterator (x1): MoS, VoTLW - 71


Are either of these lists viable? The first one is mainly using models that i am getting for my 30k army.

Thanks In Advance.

Has nobody any help for this? :(

I would say your second list needs some tweaking to make it more viable. I would lose the sonic blasters and blastmasters from the rhino units, while adding doom siren and power swords to their champs. I would put a blastmaster in the supporting non-rhino unit, maybe even dropping one of the two man oblits to bolster to a ten man with 2 blastmasters (not checked points for this).

However, I would say your 1st list seems more competitive as is more mobile and contains more scoring (and objective secure) units. Try shaving some points off your terminator weapon choices (or numbers) to either buy a bike or invuln save (or both) for your lord.

That's just me though
