So, I (finally) found a group where I play a lot of 40K, and we play very small games of 550 points each.

My opponents have these army's: Eldar, Greater Demons and one of them has an Imperial Guard army (But he doesn't has tanks =") )

ATM, this is my list;

1 Chapter Master; Relic Blade + Artificer Armour (145 Points if I recall corectly)
5 Terminators with Thunder Hammers and Storm shields (200 points, these usually team up with my chapter master and are the 'squad of death')
Troop; 5 Scouts with Sniper Rifles (75 Points)
Troop; 10 Space marines with Space marine serg (bolt pistol + chainsword) (90 Points)

So, I have 510 Points



I also played a few games, here are the results;

I played the first game against the IG player, and in the first few turns he destroyed my space marines and scouts. But luckely my Termies + Chapter master arrived and after that killed his whole army P=

After that, we did a 2 vs 2 games, where I teamed up with the IG player, we completely destroyed the eldar and demons =D




But still, I have the feeling my army can be even more deadly, and I'm thinkin 'bout expandin my army to 750 points, but I have no idea what to add next!

So please, help me out =)

Thanks in advance!

Well, I'd take shooty Termies with a cyclone led by a Librarian with nullzone and gate.

A dreadnought or 2 a hard to kill at 550 points specially if you pod them in

I'd second the dreadnaughts, possibly a x2 TL Autocannon one to go with the footslogging nature of your list.

10 Marines costs 170 points

oh lol =3

nah, I'll figure something out, thanks for your help everybody!

Drop the CM turn him into a captin, if he is with the termies he wont be staying still, so cant use the OB.

Is the CM attached to the terminators? if so they cannot deepstrike, you made it unclear wheather they are or not.

I never deepstrike anybody, since I'm very very new to the game, and deepstriking seems like a bad idea to me (especially in a 500 points game. If you deepstrike wrong with the termies, most of your army is already dead. I don't wanna risk that)

Okay fair game,

I would consider holding off on the terminators as at 200 pt they are an expensive investment, and instead getting two full troop squads and at least one of the dreads mentioned above.

Dakka predators are also pretty solid choices.

One librarian in terminator armour with a stormshield 140 pts
2 x5 man scouts with combat blades 150 pts
One land raider of your choosing 250 pts
Look on your opponents face as he realizes he can't kill it: priceless

For everything else there's MasterCard

They still have a 4+ save, 3 str4 ws4 attacks are painful.

Yeah, I know, but still, versus IG I think I wont be able to make it ;o

At low points values you need bodies more bodies. The LR list above would also be awesome put 1 unit of scouts in the Tank and they never leave it trundles around killing everything (probably go Redeemer with MM at this point level) and then sits on the objective on turn fot the win.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
If you want to auto win against the IG infantry army take CC scouts in Landspeeder storms with heavy flamers. If you go first scout move them 24", then pile straight into them turn 1. With help from the heavy flamer and the -2LD against a 30 man blob squad you are actually favourite to wipe them out turn 1 . If you go 2nd outflank and hit him from the sides when you arrive. If he switches to tanks even better as in turn 1 you auto hit with you powerfist and krak grenades .

I.. I just don't get this tactic, I guess it's cus I'm new to the hobby, but still.

So, I just crash with my LR into the infrantary, exit my scouts, attack, and put my scouts back into my LR?

Sorry I'm being a pain ;3

No scouts NEVER exit do all the killing with the LR he'll probably be able to glance it at best even in CC. First target things that can hurt you (Walkers, MCs etc). Use the assault cannon and Mutimelta to deal with them from distance. Then plow in to finish off the infantry with the flame storm cannons.

I'd probably make the 2nd scout squad in bolter or sniper guys so they can objective camp, dump the Libby's storm shield and give them camocloaks for a 3+ cover save that you can up to 2+ by going top ground which you should nearly always do as they are simply there to hold the objective from ranged attacks, rather than actually do any killing themselves.
