Hi All,

I know that the Siege of Vraks has an army list for the miserable DKoK but what is the list like for the Fall of Orpheus? Can I take grenadiers as troops for a start and what other benefits does it provide?

Any info appreciated.

Cheers

Well, there's three army lists:
Siege List in Vraks 1st Edition (3 books)
Siege List in Vraks 2nd Edition (1 book compendium)
Assault List in Orpheus.

I'll disregard the old Vraks list and just compare the two newest.

Assault List:
Gains Forlorn Hope at 1500 if you want it. Refills all Infantry Platoons indefinitely, but requires some special objectives.
Grenadiers as 10-man Troops.
Engineers as 5-10 man Elites.
Artillery Master has One Use Only.
Has Storm Chimera transport.
Has Navy Air Support (Lightning, Avenger, Thunderbolt)


Siege List:
Has a Commisar-General HQ choice.
Grenadiers as 5-10 man Elites.
Engineers as 5-10 man Troops.
Has no Storm Chimera transport.
Has no fliers.
Has two unique detachments:

Death Rider Squadron:
Required: 1 HQ, 2 Fast
Required: All three above must be death riders, gains a Death Rider Colonel in the HQ group. Gains fear on charges for all death riders.

Gorgon Assault Squadron:
Required: 1HQ, 1 Troops, 1 Elites, 1 Lord of War (Gorgon).
As long as there are troops in the Gorgon, it has IWND.

Hope that helps! I buy the DKoK minis, but I use the Astra Militarum rules instead, as I don't want to lose the Sentinel walkers, priests, psykers and ratlings (I got fluff justifications!).

Hi badgerson, welcome to Dakka and thanks very muchfor the info.

Cheers

Thanks, Noisy! Glad to help!
