Hi everyone, trying to work out a force for a tournament. the idea of Terminator Annihilation Force list if the run a large terminator squad with the sorc and gun for the hardest unit the enemy has plus buff them with spells(hopefully buff them to S5 T6 with some luck) so hopefully 14 rapid fire plasma shots, the other two terminator squads will then drop and hit what Armour they have a a key threat.

The Warband i would have thought to be a standard list with range and speed to hopefully tie down the enemy down and pick them off. Now i am abit rusty so any recommendations would be great and also this would be using the traitor legions book as well for the buffs so re-rolls or FnP on 1's and so on.

Why combi-plasma? Why not melta?

Isn't there supposed to be a unit of chosen or termies in your warband? If so I'd take out the hellbtute and work them in. I like this list. I hope chaos can make people afraid of terminators again.

The Combi plasma to deal with any elite units i suppose since i have a bit of metla action throughout the rest of the army. Was thinking land and hit the unit i choose at the a start of the game and pop off a free round of shooting at them and anything left standing after 7 to 14 plasma shots, bolter their arse again in the shooting phase.

Would you say just stick with metlas throughout and leave the plasma? haven't tried the list yet, was hoping to get a practice game in this weekend.

Your right about the Terminators for the warband, so maybe il drop the 6 man squad to 3 and pop three in the warband as well. but that does mean a smaller squad for my sorc :(

Id like to drop the hellbrute for more terminators but i love the forge world model so much lol. But game play wise it might be wiser to leave the six man squad, drop the Hellbrute and put in another 3 man terminator squad with meltas do you think?

Or what would you think about dropping the spawns , keeping the hellbrute and then adding a 3 man terminator squad with meltas? too many options.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Or the final option, drop both the spawns and hellbrute and take two 3 man squads or terminators with combi weapons? it alot of terminators though and i would be losing the spawns whihc was ideally going to work with the bikers in flanking and being a pest.

Just drop the helbrute move 3 termies into the warband and add another squad of autocannon Havocs. I'd also clear up 15 pts for a spell familiar.

I hate that so much. I love my raptor models sooooo much... I freaking love hellbrute models too... but they just aren't competitive in comparison to spawns and relentless/shrouded havoks. :(

I'd go Astro_nomicon's route.

how about this? ive gone 4pts over but i wouldnt think that would be a biggy would it?

Any points over is pretty bad form. You can easily drop a combi weapon.

And really not sure about plasma pistols.

How about i drop the plasma pistols and get a spell familiar and a melta bomb to each of the champions in the marine squad instead? that would put me on 1849pts.

In your Terminator annihaltion Force can you only run 3 termies? I thought 5 was the minimum. Sorry I'm getting back into 40k slowly. Also I thought only one of their bolters can be upgrades for every 5 termies you have. Can you actually run that many combi meltas? Is this part of their formation?

Chaos min terminators is 3.

The only suggestion I have is changing the plasma pistols out for anything else, preferably combi melta. Melta range is short, you may only get one or two shots off on a target you want to fire melta at, so better to have two shots in one go with the combi. Or power axes, at melta range there is a good chance you will end up in assault.

So as hopefully this is it, what you think?
