So this is a mech list, saturating the board with too many vehicules for the opponent to be able to deal with it.


Heldrake Terror Pack
170 - Heldrake - Baleflamer
170 - Heldrake - Baleflamer

Forsworn Knight Detachment
480 - Renegade Knight - 2x Avenger Gattling Cannons & Heavy Flamer - Meltagun - Stormspear Rocket Pod

Fist of the Gods
140 - Warpsmith - Mark of Nurgle - Aura of dark majesty (in Landraider)
420 - 3x Predators - TL Lascannon - Lascannons side sponsons
390 - 3x Vindicator - Siege Shield
230 - Landraider

total 2000pts

Could be pretty good, the 6++ has a longer range due to Warpsmith being in the landraider, the warpsmith can help to keep the vehicules alive and reduce the cover save of the opponent.

10 vehicules on the board, most with Armor value 13 or 14 from the front so mostly immune to str6 shots spam

Oh boy do I hate playing tank spam lists...

But bravo! Usually only those Loyalists of the Corpse Emperor get this much cheese!

Now, since this is clearly a themed list we wont point out the flaws and obvious counters you will normally face. (like ob.sec and drop pod/grav/eldar/tau shenannigans.)

Also note: Most people recommend keeping the heavy Stubber on the Knight, just so you have a target to shoot, not kill outright, and then still Charge. So even swinging those giant machine gun club hands around you're still a str 10 ap2 beatstick.

I have been having some good results with the Helforged Warpack. Running a couple Maulerfiends and Defilers have been throwing people for a loop, and if you throw in a helbrute, make him the leader so it gets a 4++ and can challenge.

Yeah, I do like the idea of the warpack, I suppose, I could make a list replacing the Knight and Heldrakes for 3 maulerfiend, a helbrute and a defiler + the warpsmith. not sure if it would be better but it could be fun though.

@ nightlord: do you hate playing with or against tank spams? or both?

thanks for the strategic reasoning behind keeping the heavy stubber, I can certainly see value in that now but I could still consider keeping the meltagun as one shot will rarely finish off a unit and even the low 12" range isn't problematic as its the same as possible charge distance.

as for Grav weaponry I don't see this as being a problem for this list as only "6" will shave a hull point and immobilized is not a problem for this shooty vehicules list.

Looks coool... Tho was hoping it would be a hell forged hunting pack..

Would recommend helforged warpack too, helbrute alpha then whatever you like as his buddies. Helbrute has a 4++ so its worth the points in giving him a dedicated dreadclaw transport to get him where you need him. Double fist 6 attacks on the charge, nice.

Here is the version with helforged Warpack

Fist of the Gods
110 - Warpsmith (in Landraider)
420 - 3x Predators - TL Lascannon - Lascannons side sponsons
390 - 3x Vindicator - Siege Shield
230 - Landraider

Hellforged Warpack

110 - Warpsmith - (in Landraider)
125 - HelBrute - TL Lascannon - Alpha
135 - Maulerfiend - Lasher Tendrils
135 - Maulerfiend - Lasher Tendrils
125 - Maulerfiend
220 - Defiler - Power scourge

total 2000pts

also seems pretty fun
