I have not seen many Master of the Forge lists, so I decided to post one and just kind of have a general MoF discussion


2000 Points


Master of the Forge
Conversion Beamer, Bike 155 points.


Assault Term x2 Thunder Hammer x3 Lightning 200


Redeemer, Xtra Armour, Multi Melta 265

Term w/ 5 Models, Assault Cannon , 4 chainfists 250

Redeemer w/ Xtra Armour, Multi Melta 265


Iron Clad Dread w/ H. Flamer 145


Troops

Space Marine Tact w/ Rhino , Flamer , Missile, PW MB 225

Space Marine Tact w/ Rhino, Melta, Missile , PW 225


Heavy

Iron Clad 145 H. Flamer

Iron Clad 145 H. Flamer

1995 points.


Basically the goal is to use the Landraiders to Screen the Advancing Iron Clads while your tacts run around grabbing objectives or splitting into 5 man teams etc..

i like it, but you dont have enough troops, i would think atleast 1 more tac squad, or 2 scout squads to make up numbers.

I could probably shore up some points in there. Drop 55 from the MoF, 20 from the Terms w/ Chain fist. If I dropped Powerweapons from the Sergeant thats 30.

That's 105 points to work with I could probably drop h. flamers from the ironclads... or at leat two of them 125 would give me enough for a scout squad.

I can always split the Tacticals.

if you can free up enough points i would say:

add another tac squad (without transport is fine) but you could combat squad them and take a lascannon razorback.

throw in some attack bikes or landspeeders with multi-mela's for some mobile tank hunting and the list should do pretty well.

I could drop a Rhino and the MoF gear w/ the Chainfists and get two MultiMelta Attack bikes.

I'd drop one Redeemer since the normal Termies could deep strike.

That kind of defeats my purpose of having 2 tanks to block LOS to the Iron Clads behind them. Placed together or near Landraid is large enough to block LOS to a Ironclad.


Here is what I was thinking of doing


Drop 1 landraider and 1 Term Squad


Add 2 Vindicators.


Add another Tactical


That would give me 1 Landraider, 2 vindicators, 3 Ironclads, and 3 Squads of Marines in a Transport.




So MoF w/ Powerweapon 115


Term w/ Thunderhammer and Storm x 5

Redeemer + 265 , Xtra , Melta

Iron Clad w/ H. Flamer 145 w/ Drop 180

Iron Clad w/ H. Flamer 145 w/ Drop 180

Tact w/ Melt, Missile, Razorback 215

Tact w/ Melt, Missile Rhino 210

Fast Attack



Heavy Support

Iron Clad w/ H. Flamer w/ Drop

Vindicator w/ Siege 125

Vindicator w/ Siege 125


Comes out pretty close to 2000 points. Then I have the added benefit of placing 2 Ironclads inside their deployment on the first turn while everything else advances.

Well for starters 3 TH/SS and 3 LC are 240 not 200.

Second a LRR with Ex Arm and MM is 275.

Just off the top of my head...

Thats just really expensive in 2000 points

The 2 Term w/ Redeemers are 930 the Ironclads are 500.


When I make army lists I think " What is its purpose" to deliver heavy assault troops


My core of the Army would be


2 Landraider Redeemers, 2 Assault Term squads w/ Thunderhammer Stormshields ; 3 Iron Clads.

The problem I am coming into is Points in 2000.

All Added together it does not leave me with alot of points left over for Troop Selection as that with a MoF is 1565


I just don't really have an Idea of what I would add to this. I could drop a Iron Clad but that defeats the purpose of it being Mek.

Not really. You do need the MotF to have 2 termies and 2 ironclads.

MotF -100
2 Assault Terminator Squads (TH) -400
+ 2 LR Redeemer (MM) -500
2 Ironclad Dreadnoughts (SB/HF) -290

1290pts, you don't really need more upgrades. 3x10 tacs combat squaded in razorbacks and 80pts to spend?

I kind of want the third ironclad.

How about alternate...

Chaptermaster

3 x Iron Clad

3 x Tacticals

3 x Landraider Redeemers.

If you have points left over... look at a unit of Honor Guard or shift to captain and command squad.

Pretty good hitting just not termies. Still purifying with Redeemers and Ironclads.

Chaptermaster

3 x Iron Clad

3 x Tacticals

3 x Landraider Redeemers.

That would be a pretty decent list excelling at close range.

MOF
Space Marine Captain on Bike

Iron Clad 145

Stern 270

Redeemer + Term 465

Troop

5 man w/ 2 meltas attack bike 160

5 Man w/ 2 Meltas attack bike 160

5 man w/ 2 meltas attack Bike 160
H. Support

Iron 145

Vindicator

Redeemer 265

I might do something like this for a Master of the forge list.

Capitan on bike - relic blade, melta bombs - 180
Master of the forge on bike + conversion beamer - 155
elites
Dreadnought - 2x twinlinked autocannon - 125
Dreadnought - 2x twinlinked autocannon - 125
Dreadnought - 2x twinlinked autocannon - 125

troops
5 man bike squad, 2 meltas, multimelta attack bike PF - 235
5 man bike squad, 2 meltas, multimelta attack bike PF - 235
5 man bike squad, 2 meltas, multimelta attack bike PF - 235
5 man bike squad, 2 meltas, multimelta attack bike - 210

heavy support
Dreadnought - 2x twinlinked autocannon - 125
Dreadnought - 2x twinlinked autocannon - 125
Dreadnought - 2x twinlinked autocannon - 125

total cost - 2000

My army kind of goes along with what I have basically, but that is rather disgusting.


You should fit khan in there I mean you have a Captain on Bike might as well play with khan as your captain is 20 points less than him.

5 man w/ 2 meltas attack bike 160

5 Man w/ 2 Meltas attack bike 160

5 man w/ 2 meltas attack Bike 160

Three small troop squads is a bit less at the 2000 pts level. Sushicaddy's list looks more promising.
