Fast: 130

Land speeder (melta) - 65

Land speeder (melta) - 65


2,000 points exact.
51 models (all with jump packs)
2 land speeders in the hope they will hurt something.

chaplin goes with the 9 death company to make sure they dont start chasing shadows.
dante goes with the honour guard.


all in all it seems like a pretty fast and hard hitting list, allthough a horde army may be a serious problem.
both dante's unit and the death company are more than capable of fighting large mobs and winning due to serious bonus's.
if they do need help then theres 4 smaller assault units able to charge in and help, while i have a 10 man one for any other problems.

C&C wanted please, but i rather keep the army as all jump packs.


only other thing i could think of was dropping the 10 man unit down to 5 man, (110 points saved) and drop 2 fists (20 more saved) then take 2 more melta speeders.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/617590.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/617590.page GMT 2,000 points Dante jump list. (from ebay of course)

ill need:


dante - £7
chappy - £5

honour guard - (assault squad + command squad) - £28
assault vets - (assault squad + spare parts) £13
Death company - (converted assault marines) £26

6 assault squads - £78

land speeder x2 - £30



£187 including all postage aint bad atall for a 2,000 point army.
and its allmost all plastic (fething dante and chappy!)

and where its a small ish army i wont get bored painting it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/617638.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/617638.page GMT 2,000 points Dante jump list. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/617812.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/617812.page GMT 2,000 points Dante jump list. each unit has a power fist, dante is able to act as a tank hunter aswell with his pistol (counts as a melta)

i see guard being a problem though, too much armour and way too many troops.
death company would have fun though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/618250.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/618250.page GMT 2,000 points Dante jump list. BA... heavy mechanization.

lem cant pop tanks though, the death company need to be able to kill a tank if needed, hence the PF chappy.


large units are a good idea, but then i have to pay 30 points per DC marine
each unit i take gets me a free one, so i rather take smaller units than lose my cheap DC.


on the subject of characters:

corb is gak, tyc looks great, but has gak rules.
meph and dante seem the only decent ones, if i do take lem then i will do a quick head swap since the current one looks crap.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/618423.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/618423.page GMT 2,000 points Dante jump list.

DC either way in the upped price on the assault squads. take them at 10 man each so that they are stronger anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/620699.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/620699.page GMT 2,000 points Dante jump list. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/621161.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/621161.page GMT 2,000 points Dante jump list.

Then you're going to have trouble against vehicle armies, especially AV14. I'd trash your elites and replace them with VAS squads with meltas as cmagee suggested. Extra points can then go into beefing up the Troop assault units, or more speeders.


This.

Even with the landspeeders alive, Land Raiders laugh at you all day long. With 1 melta shot a turn, you hit 2/3 of the time, pen on a 7+, so 21/36 of the time, and destroy it on a 4+, so 1/2 of the time. All this works out to being about a 20% chance per melta shot to destroy a LR, so it would take one of those speeders 5 turns on average to destroy it. This all assumes they aren't focusing down your Landspeeders (which they will, since as tzeentchling mentioned, they are both your only real tank-busting and your only non-infantry unit), and that makes it even worse. In the mean-time, the LR will be running around tank-shocking and shooting your jump infantry with no repercussions, since you can't possibly hurt it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/623577.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/623577.page GMT 2,000 points Dante jump list.

on a side note, i did another list with a very different take, need some C&C on that aswell please: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/233793.page]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/623593.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/623593.page GMT 2,000 points Dante jump list.

Except that Power Fists are nearly useless against AV14 (i.e. Land Raiders), since you have a 1/6 chance to glance, and then a 1/6 chance to immobilize at the absolute best, so you would need 36 attacks to immobilize a LR.

Obviously you can handle lighter vehicles like Predators or Rhinos, but against AV14 you are in big trouble with Power Fists as your only anti-tank.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/623639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/623639.page GMT 2,000 points Dante jump list.
if i did take this list, then i would more than likely drop all gear on the assault vets, throw them 2 melta's.

and possibly try and make room for another unit the same.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/623645.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233588/623645.page GMT
