Hi there!

I'm gonna play this list in a few hours against Nurgle CSM. It's gonna be low on vehicles, maybe one Rhino and one Cybot max.

Libby w/JP, Powers: Blood Lance, Shield 100
Honour Guard w/JP, 4 Melta 205
Priest w/JP, Melta bombs 80
Assault Squad, 10 Marines, 2 Meltas, Sgt w/PF 235
Assault Squad, 10 Marines, 2 Meltas, Sgt w/PF 235
Devastators, 3 ML 120

I'm not sure if I should drop the Blood Lance and take unleash rage instead.

The Melta bombs on the priest are more of a "what to do with 5 points" kind of deal. If I could shave off 5 more points, I'd put a fourth ML in the Devastators instead.

I don't think I'm gonna use DoA, as I don't want the devs to be all alone and I don't want to come in piecemeal. Otoh, Maybe I could reserve the Honour Guard.

What do you think?

Edit: Changed topic to 1100 points

Low on vehicles. Then your 8 melta is too much. Plasma for HG. Or maybe its better to drop the HG and take more devs with missiles.

Libby want's jp. With out it the rage is useless. Fear is good too.

The Libby has a JP. Without it, he would indeed be completely useless.

You are probably right, the HG could use Plasma. But then, they cannot assault anymore afterwards... so I'll redefine their job to give FNP and to shoot. Also increases their survivability.

Also, I agreed with my opponent to raise the level to 1100pts. ("Could we play 1100?" - "Do you really want that?" - "Not sure. Do you?" - "Yeah, let's do it")

Here's my new list, featuring HG with Plasma, no Sang Priest, but more Devastators.

Libby w/JP, Powers: Unleash Rage, Shield 125
Honour Guard w/JP, 4 Plasma 225
Assault Squad, 10 Marines, 2 Meltas, Sgt w/PF 245
Assault Squad, 10 Marines, 2 Meltas, Sgt w/PF 245
Devastators, 4 ML 130
Devastators, 4 ML 130

Total: 1080 exactly.

I have 20 points to spare. I would give out some Meltabombs to the Libby and an LC to the HG if no one has a better idea on what to do with it.

Or should I give one of the Dev Squads 4 Plasma Cannons? I would then need to put them very much at the front then, I'm afraid the 36" range doesn't do much good otherwise...

Not sure how you will kill the daemon prince. Also plague grenades may be an issue.

You should be able to out run him so I am sure you will choose the fights.

I don't think he has a daemon prince model. Still, I would shoot it with the Plasma and the Missles and the Meltas.

I'm bad at choosing fights but I hope I do better this time. He's a regular chess player, so it's hard to outmaneuver him. Still, I'll try harder this time.

Yes, Blight Grenades suck for me. Just like his FNP and T5. Let's hope I can handle it...

Thinking about FNP... I guess I'll remove the Plasma and add ML to the Devs and Melta to the HG again. Those ignore FNP, unlike the Plasma.

Now, what do I do with those 40 points left?

Ok. I'll go there now with this list (if anyone cares)

Libby w/JP, Powers: Unleash Rage, Shield 125
Honour Guard w/JP, 4 Melta 205
Assault Squad, 10 Marines, 2 Meltas, Sgt w/PF 245
Assault Squad, 10 Marines, 2 Meltas, Sgt w/PF 245
Devastators, 4 ML 130
Vanguard Vets, Sgt w/PF, 3 LC 170

It's only one Chalice, so that might be a problem. We'll see.

Cheers,
Kosta
