: Aegis Defence Lines- Quad-gun

Going for a Themed Word Bearers Army here that is take all comers and semi-competative. Herald runs with screamers and kills pretty much anything but deathstars, Apostle goes with cultists to keep them in check and tarpit, Fiends come in and B line for big threats or to support a unit, Plague Bearers just park on objectives, Chaos unit runs up the field going for 2+ armor and supporting objectives, Daemon prince flies around targeting other fliers and targets weak isolated units or ones already tied in combat, and lastly the havocs sit parked back in the defence line and shoot down fliers and provide long range fire support.

Thoughts? Changes?

Why a dark apostle? Hes not very good. I would rather a chaos lord.

Also I dont like huge herds of cultists. Way to easy to kill as they flee in combat and all die. Plus they can only hold 1 objective. Break them up into smaller units your opponent must target. I know this is worse in kill points but objectives are far more prevalent than KP.

Instead of havocs with LC just take oblits. More points but more wounds and better saves!

I like havocs with 4 AC. for 115 points its 8 S7 shots a turn.

The point of the Dark Apostle is to keep the blob of cultists from running away, breaking them into 2 smaller units and getting rid of the Apostle would just mean they will be usless and run away like you already stated.

And as far as Oblits goes doesnt 4 LC Havocs put out more shots a turn then Oblits at the same point cost? and i didnt give them autocannons because they are already sitting behind and autocannon

If the havocs are going to be camping behind the defense line I'd lose the upgrades on the champion. how often is he going to use the power sword and the melta bombs if his day job is to fire a quad cannon?

Free's up some points for some cool stuff! I'd maybe trade in the Fiends of Slaanesh for some Flamers to be completely honest, they make a mess of everything and have 2 wounds apiece, plus as Jump Infantry they're almost as fast as the Fiends ad if you play them aggressively can make their points back with their first rounds shooting!
