So I am about to get Corax in the mail and I'm going to be making a trade for the seekers, rocket heavy squad and breachers so I thought I'd throw a list together. Here it is:

Praetor - camo, digi lasers, iron halo, melta bomb, paragon blade (with big tac squad or breachers)
Centurion - siege breaker, cataphractii, chainfist, phosphex bomb (with seekers or heavy support rockets)

Breacher squad - 2x melta guns // srg - arty, power fist, breaching charge
Tactical Squad - +10 guys, extra blades, vex // srg - arty, claw, melta bomb
Tactical support squad - plasma guns // srg - arty, melta bomb // pod

Contemptor - kheres assault cannon
Vets - +5 guys, 2x heavy bolters, marksman // srg - arty, power fist, combi-plas // pod

Seekers - srg - arty, power fist // pod

Heavy support squad - rockets // srg - arty, augury scanner

Corax - camo (RoW - decapitation strike)

So my thought with the siege breaker is to give tank hunter to the rockets (as well as relentless) or just relentless to the seekers with their s5ap2 scorpios bolts that are heavy. He can hitch a ride in their pod. Decapitation strike give the seekers and tacs access to a pod. The only thing I will deploy normally is the dread, all the rest either infiltrates or pods in.

Thoughts?

No thoughts?

Worth coming up with the points to make your contemptor into a mortis?

I wish, no model though unfortunately. I don't see a lot of flyers in my 30k meta here in DFW. Only really one guy I know who runs them regularly.

just give your contemptor a 2nd kheres = now it's a mortis.

While I see the value in the double kheres assault cannons, I do like the fist option. Having s10 is invaluable.

Do we run breachers? Does the XIXth run breachers?

I like that you put your Support Squad in a 'Pod, it keeps them from dying if your opponent gets first turn. You may want to invest in a unit of Mor Deythan with combi weapons <flamers > or a unit of Furies so Corax doesnt get lonely.

Victorius aut Mortis and lets hope I spelled everything right!

I was, on several occasions, playfully rebuked by a FW 30k writer, on discussing my Alpha Legion with him and what they would or would not take.

'We are talking about Legions and you're stuck in Chapter-think, Legions fielded it all. Whilst Legions have special rules and things they excelled at, they practiced all forms of warfare and had the numbers and resources to do so'.

Thanks man! I've since scrapped the breacher idea, I don't see myself using them all too often, so I'm going to mor deythan route you pointed out. All combi-flamers I'm also getting a couple quad mortars, a lightning and a command upgrade and some power weapons to make up a CC oriented vet squad and command squad. I will eventually get a spartan or storm eagle for the cc dudes to go stomping out of but for now they'll be stuck huffing it on foot lolz.

I'll post up the list I'm going to running with my new purchases here in a minute. cheers!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
My aforementioned list at 2500 points with new additions to be added here shortly:

Centurion - siege breaker, cataphractii armor, chainfist, phosphex bomb
tactical squad - blades, vex, pod // srg w/arty, claw, melta bomb
tactical squad - blades, vex, rhino - dozer blade, multi melta // srg w/arty, sword, melta bomb
tactical support squad - plasma guns, drop pod // srg w/arty, melta bomb
apothecary - artificer armor
quad mortar battery - 2x guns w/shatter shells
veteran squad - +5 dudes, 2x heavy bolters, marksmen, vex, pod // srg - arty, fist
Mor deythan strike squad - 5x combi-flamers, rhino w/dozer blade & multi melta // shade w/arty, melta bomb
Lightning Fighter - 4x kracken missiles, phosphex bomb cluster
Heavy support squad - lascannons // srg w/arty, augury scanner, melta bomb
Corax - camo // RoW - Decapitation Strike

So the idea is the siege breaker goes one of 2 places: the lascannons or the plasma guns. With the lascannons he gives them tank hunter and allows them to reposition and fire for full effect as well. With the plasmas he can tank and chuck a phosphex bomb and anyone who looks at em funny. The apothecary goes with the plasmas to help with overheats or the quad mortars just for LOLZ, "hey mr. typhon, I get a FnP save against your shot." hahaha

Mor deythan infiltrate, scout, move, disembark and nuke something. I threw on the multi meltas for the rhinos for some extra lolz and a couple more anti-tank shots.

Corax just moves around and does corax-y things like butcher anything that ISN'T another primarch LOL. The lightning comes on a pops the biggest tank on the board that the quad mortars haven't handled yet. (or the lascannons for that matter) Then the next turn he phosphex bombs the cargo!

I think it's pretty well rounded actually. Thoughts?

Bump - let me know your thoughts on the last list.

Since you can infiltrate, there's no point in deploying second. This means that your Mor Deythans RENDING flamers, that WILL destroy any unit of your choice , first turn. Remember that.
