Vulkan - 190
Master of the Forge
+Conversion beamer - 120

Troops:
10man tactical squad
+flamer
+mm
+drop pod - 205

5man scout squad
+4x sniper rifles
+h.bolter - 85

Elites:
3X Dredenough
+h.flamer
+drop pod = 450

Heavy support:
3x dredenough
+h.flamer
+drop pod = 450

7 drop pods = 4 first turn pods. TL h.flamers & Multi meltas. Hardly any troops (= bad, I know) Can be scaled up to 1750/1850 more realistically.

I posted a similar list w/o vulkan but with mostly ironclads instead. Im not sure but besides the 5-less scouts, I think this list is killyer

What do yee think - im now torn.

Conversion beamer OR 2 h.flamers = 5 cloaks & 5pts spare. Coupled with Bolster the defences = a 2+ cover save for the scouts (i think) which makes them very survivable. A scout squad with a conversion beamering MotF is also a nice (albeit no infiltrating/scoutness) thought.

Hes worth a 10man tac squad. I could also shave off 60pts for the flamers (But well worth it, esp with vulkan)

Besides from that, with a 6 dred army, with 7 drop pods (to allow 4 in the drop pod assault) there isnt much left in 1500pts.

Hes also quite choppy, 2+/3++, I5, 3A etc..

& I can maaybe stretch the fluff to say somthing along the lines of these dreds are his treasure hunting team. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228200/534224.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228200/534224.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228200/534260.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228200/534260.page GMT
HQ:
Master of the Forge: Conversion Beamer @ 120 Pts

Troops:
2x10 Tactical Squad: Flamer; MM; Melta Bombs; Rhino @ 420 Pts
5 Scout Squad: Sniper Rifle x4; HB; Camo Cloaks; Telion @ 150 Pts

Elite:
3X Dreadnought: Heavy Flamer; Drop Pod @ 450 Pts

Heavy:
2X Ironclad Dreadnought: Heavy Flamer; Drop Pod @ 360 Pts


Grab the midfield with your tacs, use Telion to pick off the threats to your dreads, like PFs, Meltas, etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228200/534310.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228200/534310.page GMT Hq:

===========

Total =1500

Right, as per advice ive added some more troops (not many but a significant amount) & added a bit more versitily & ive tried to make more use of vulkan as a force multipler (thanks gbf) to make this list a lil deadlier. Ive spent less on drop pods, less on HQ's which were dead points in a way.

Does a template-firing model ignore hits on its own unit?

Telion is a good call & effective @ what he does but would be better with more scouts & the MotF bolster defence. 2+ cover save cant be sniffed at. As it standards if I used scouts, id get less effect from Vulkan. Plus I need those drop pods to allow for 2 to drop 1st turn & to give the marines mobility & delayed surviveability.

I got more troops like you suggested tho so thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228200/538466.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228200/538466.page GMT Lol, I was still looking at the original post.

Anyway, that second list... I think Vulkan is worth even less here. A Chap and no extra armour and scouts would give you 220 Pts to work with, which you could use to get a pair of Predators for range and get the LRC, which is better at the assault job.

Like so:

1 Chaplain @ 100 Pts
Bolt Pistol; Crozius Arcanum

6 Terminator Assault Squad @ 500 Pts
Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield (x6); Land Raider
1 Land Raider Crusader @ [260] Pts
Multi-Melta

1 Dreadnought @ 150 Pts
Dreadnought CCW; Multi-Melta; Heavy Flamer: Drop Pod
1 Drop Pod @ [35] Pts

1 Dreadnought @ 150 Pts
Dreadnought CCW; Multi-Melta; Heavy Flamer; Drop Pod
1 Drop Pod @ [35] Pts

The chappy MC's all the termies attacks. He makes them fearless.

Vulkan MC's all thier thunder-hammers (same thing) and for 90pts more gets better save, better stat line (crucially where it counts) & TL's 11 different weapons (2 are combi but yeah) & as it stands my lastest list has more troops than yours methinks.. although in higher points id upgrade to another tacticle (which may go for combi melta/melta/multimelta for a bit more ap 1/AT weaponary)..Telion is good but tacticals & vulkans I think are more effective. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228200/538685.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228200/538685.page GMT
