Just looking for a little fine-tuning on this list:

HQ:
Ordo Xenos inquisitor
* 3x servo skull
* plasma syphon

Lord of War:
Reaver titan
* laser blaster
* laser blaster
* double turbolaser

Still have six points left to spend, but I can't think of any better upgrades to make. Is the plasma syphon really worth it (I kind of threw it in because why not), or should I give the inquisitor power armor or a better weapon?

I don't understand, is this a list? It looks like 2 models in 1500pts, if you play vs any flyers your screwed, if you play vs a daemon flying circus your screwed again.

Save Titans for apocalypse games and play with GW miniatures for normal games.

This list tickled my insides at the thought of my cron flying circus just having a field day against this thing

Maybe in a 1850 or 1750 game where you can get a few valkyrie transports to get that syphon where it needs to be to make just about all tau hit on 6s and to ground all those FMCs so you can blast them away with D sexyness you should field a reaver but until then just stick to the cardboard warhounds

Codex Inquisition don't have Lords of War choices so don't understand how this is legal?

Esculation allows the Lord of War choice for any Codex.

I take it going for the straight If i kill everything the enemy has - therefore I win as you can't claim objectives etc?

I would swap out the d turbo laser for a v m bolter. Only weapon you can use to take out flyers

Id swap out the reaver titan for a real army...

So...Just play a Reaver and call it good? I can't tell if you're trying to troll or being serious, there is no discussion value except for "wtf" from your "list" that doesn't even have the components needed for an actual list (troop choices).

The Lords of War list from Forge World does not include choices for codex inquisition. I'm afraid you can't do this, as amusing as it may be.

Not any codex. Only when it's been specified.

Im pretty sure forces of the imperium includes the inquisition which is where the reaver is found

Copied and pasted directly from the pdf

FORCES OF THE IMPERIUM

The following vehicles may be chosen as Lords of War if your primary detachment is from Codex: Imperial Guard, Codex: Space Marines, Codex: Blood Angels, Codex: Dark Angels, Codex: Grey Knights, Codex: Space Wolves or Codex: Adepta Sororitas. They may also be used in the following Imperial Armour army lists: Imperial Guard Armoured Battle Group from Imperial Armour Volume 1 2nd edition, Death Korps of Krieg Siege Regiment from Imperial Armour Volume 5, Tyrant’s Legion from Imperial Armour Volume 9, Space Marine Siege Assault Vanguard from Imperial Armour Volume 10, and the Death Korps of Krieg Assault Brigade from Imperial Armour Volume 12.

Reaver Battle Titan WH40K: Apoc

Warhound Scout Titan WH40K: Apoc


No inquisition listed.

Not listed in the PDF.

As mentioned this is thankfully illegal. The lowest commonly-played points total where a Reaver will fit is about 1750. You could use something like this:
Renegades - Servants of Decay
HQ
Company Command Squad - 30
2 Enforcers - 80
Troops
20 Mutant Rabble, 2 Flamers, 18 Autoguns - 92
20 Mutant Rabble, Flamer, 19 Autoguns - 86
Lord of War
Chaos Reaver Titan, two Laser Blasters, Turbo-laser Destructor - 1460
Total - 1748
40 Scoring bodies to screen the titan from deep-striking units, with LD10 thanks to the attached enforcers (keep them safe) and a warlord to hold in reserve as long as possible and then hide. You lose if they have enough airpower to kill the titan but only the three(four) D-carrying super-heavy fliers are any threat, and 1(2) of them want to enter hover mode to drop off troops, at which point you nuke the gak of of them. Flamers are for overwatch and in case the rabble have to actually do something since with BS2 anything else is doing feth all. If you have to capture objectives, blast all the opposing troops off the board and hope you get good run rolls.

Inquisition doesn't have troops choices and uses a special FOC. You can have a legal inquisition army that consists of one inquisitor and nothing else.

Hm, sounds like a typo. I'll have to bring that to their attention and hopefully get it fixed soon.

The servo skulls were a nice touch.

I suggest you take it up to 1850 and get some void shield generators. Model them however you like as they lack a proper model, and use them as oddly specifically shaped cover for your reaver

On the theme of squeezing super-heavies into comparatively low-points games:
Renegades - Servants of Decay
HQ
Company Command Squad, Heavy Stubber team - 35
Troops
15 Plague Zombies - 90
15 Plague Zombies - 90
Lord of War
Malcador Defender - 285
Total: 500

In a bigger game the Malcador might be lackluster, but here the durability of a super-heavy platform combined with the shooting power of seven heavy bolters and a Demolisher Cannon is enough to crush just about any resistance. Hang back in cover with the CCS and use your Fearless zombie bodies to go after enemy objectives while the Malcador chews through a dozen models every turn.

Yeah, any real 1500 list would pull this apart. Plus, illegal list.

love the concept - whats the tactics? Blow the crap out of everything every turn?

Can the inquisitor mount inside the drivers cab?

He hangs one handed off the ankle swingin a power sword.

I can't believe you got this many serious replies, Per.


A+ Troll attempt, dude. You hooked them in like a boss.

I guess for now its GK with coteaz and minimum acolytes for a reaver and then add voidshields the size of warhounds for cover on your reaver

I hate that word "troll" because all the punk ass kids think its cool. I also play mtg and every new kid i teach would say, "i want to make s deck that trolls my opponent instead of win."

Am i trolling when i begrudgingly recommended or support the recommendations that a chaos army needs 2-3 helturke, because its their only ace in the hole?

So, how does chaos space marines get a cheesy troll list like this with a super heavy?

Brass scorpion

lord

2 squads of cultist.

Not sure of the exact points, but that should be a under 1k.

I forgot what this conversation is about.... Maybe stick with army lists.

So how does a regular army even destroy a reaver titan? I dont think most armies can.

Can i assume that the brass scorpion would lose indefinately to a reaver titan?

I am very tempted to cannibalize my 2 useless Defilers to make this brass scorpion.

That is definitely under 1k. But you could take a double Turbo-Laser Destructor Warhound instead of the Scorpion, and as awesome as the Scorpion is it's not as good as a Warhound. Something like:

HQ
Scorceror, Combi-Melta - 70
Troops
10 Cultists - 50
10 Cultists - 50
Lord Of War
Chaos Warhound Titan
- Daemon Titan of Nurgle
-- Double-Barelled Turbo-Laser Destructor
-- Double-Barelled Turbo-Laser Destructor
830
Total 1k

You have a 5+ Invulnerable save, IWND, and since you're a Daemon of Nurgle you Hate Screamerstars and Fateweaver, which while not of great importance is kind of cool. You could cut being a Daemon titan for more cultists but really no matter how many you have with this kind of army it's table the opponent or lose. I think this will perform more consistently than a Scorpion army, although the Brass Scorpion does have a number of very cool attributes that make it an interesting choice. For starters, if the opponent tries to puppet master you they take perils, which is not something any psyker ever wants to deal with. You're also a Daemon and can be taken by Chaos Daemons armies, so if you want to be a dick you can combine this with the Grimoire for a 3+ Invulnerable save on your super-heavy, and you also get IWND by default. The other big advantage of the Scorpion is that it is a melee-focussed model, which in itself leads to a bunch of unique quirks. With a 12" move and 3D6 assault, you can potentially cross the board in a single turn, so getting into combat shouldn't be too difficult. Because of the Multi-Legged Terror special rule, you're making D3+2 stomp attacks, which means it's significntly harder to tarpit you. You also have 6 attacks base, so there's pretty much nothing in the game that will beat you in close combat, and almost any super-heavy will fall in a single round of assault. While your shooting is only mediocre for a super-heavy vehicle, the Scorpion Cannon has enough shots to make a flyer care, and the rest of your weapons ignore cover, which is nice against shooty armies hiding behind an ADL. Because of how many stomps you get, you can actually walk a good distance away from the unit you're engaged with - I wouldn't be suprised to see this bad boy assault a parking lot and end up taking out 4-5 vehicles in a single assault phase. You're also going to be right up in the enemies face, so doomsday reactor provides lots of opportunities to 'accidentally' take out half an army if you eventually die. Of the non-D superheavies, I think it's one of the stronger picks.

Same as everything else. Weight of fire. Though necrons are probably the most well off, seeing as everything single thing they field can hurt it.

A brass scorpion is about half the cost of a reaver, and has half the health and no D weapons. It is fairly nasty in close combat though. It is also slightly cheaper than a warhound.
