Drop the Land Raider. Replace it with 3 Oblits, or 2 more vindicators, and a rhino for the 1 melta PM squad.
Drop the home objective plague marines. Replace it with a 10 man CSM squad with some form of heavy weapon.

Get rid of extra armor, give the 1 meltagun squad another meltagun.

Although those are both very good options for a lash army I prefer the protection and fire power of a land raider. Also, it has somewhat of an awefactor where an enemy with throw a bunch of stuff at it to try to eliminate it. The squad with one meltagun is designed to take a melta-shot and then charge the target. The land raider provides anti-tank to the army which it needs some in my opinion. I know that it doesn't have as much punch as a normal SM LR but it still has the protection. As far as the CSM squad I feel that the Plague Marines have more staying power than a normal CSM squad. Correct me if I'm wrong?

IMO the extra armour is very important in that it keeps the army moving. I don't want a vehicle sitting for a turn ya know what I'm saying?



I really appreciate your input!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/780702.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/780702.page GMT Turning over a new leaf on "Single Lash"
Vindicators and obliterators are far better AT than a land raider, especially a land raider that is going to be used as a transport. A rhino can move just as far as a land raider, and once you move 12 inches you're in killing radius anyway.

Plague marines are bad in CC for the fact that power weapons and the like deny their FNP.

10 CSM with an autocannon, heavy bolter, or missile launcher is far stronger than 7 plague marines, and just as surviveable against anything that denies FNP. They can't take as many lasgun shots, but they can dish out way more pain from your home objective, and take more AP1-2, or S8+ shots. A home objective squad should heavy heavy weapons as well as surviveability, regular CSM have both, plague marines are better for front line squads, because only front line squads take a lot of pain.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/780763.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/780763.page GMT Turning over a new leaf on "Single Lash" http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/780766.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/780766.page GMT Turning over a new leaf on "Single Lash"
Lemartes I agree except I want it to be a bit more fluffy then most Power Builds. A T6 DP is pretty beastly too! I don't like double lash because it is a bit to cheese and manipulative for me but a single one will be "fluffy" Since the CSM will be painted kinda Slaanshy!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/780780.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/780780.page GMT Turning over a new leaf on "Single Lash" If you buy them a rhino it can be used to screen your two important rhinos, or run right next to the other 2, so that if 1 gets shot up the precious cargo inside can move to the free one.

If you can free up 15 points you can give all those rhinos pintle mounted TL bolters, which does 2 things
1.) makes them harder to glance to death, important against Tau or Necrons
2.) Once the Rhino braves all the shots coming at it it can be used as a gunbox, more importantly, a threat to the enemy, which means less s6+ guns shooting at your vindies and DPs.

For 40 points it would have the firepower of roughly 2.5 CSM, while being untouchable by lasguns and only glanceable by lucky bolters.


That is personal preference though, Im just throwing the option out there, it looks like a pretty good list to me. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/780846.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/780846.page GMT Turning over a new leaf on "Single Lash" http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/781471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/781471.page GMT Turning over a new leaf on "Single Lash"

Wrong! This is for a home objective squad, so 2 meltaguns would probably never be in range.
I suggest a missile launcher. It can take out light vehicles, up at av13, and can do anti-horde if you need it to.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/782589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/782589.page GMT Turning over a new leaf on "Single Lash"

It just seems that the Plague marines are much better sitting squad? And you also cripple the rest of the CSM squad so 1 weapon can fire.

Lash is not any sort of auto-win. I wouldn't expect that much from it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/782604.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/782604.page GMT Turning over a new leaf on "Single Lash"

That is exactly what I would use it for poping MC and insta-killing some other models and terminators. And it can do damage to vehicles not the best at it but with a little heck for 20 pts for a squad that will sit on an objective for the game I'll take it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/782622.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/782622.page GMT Re:Turning over a new leaf on "Single Lash"
Regardless and back on topic... I think your list is fine, just like I am doing myself, you need to play, play, play, and play some more with that list to find its strengths and deficiencies and the play style you need to use to maximize its efficiency. Then as you play, you will find some gaps that you need to fill, but as a base, I think your current version with 2 vindi and 3 solid troop choices is good. Though I do agree that maybe going with 1 lascannon is the CSM squad has limited potential. I would probably replace the lascannon with 2 plasma guns, so you still have decent MC kill, but a lot more shots.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/782701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/782701.page GMT Turning over a new leaf on "Single Lash"

Haha yeah this list goes with the paintng project that you gave me advise on

I went with two plasmaguns rather than meltas in the first game I played and I won against IG and managed to shoot down a valk with the plasmaguns!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/794293.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/794293.page GMT The Decayed Lash [Updated]
But I've always played Emperor's Children and aside from the occasional IOCG or unmarked squad, my whole army's Slaaneshi, and painted as such.

Even the Empire was smart enough to plan ahead and attempted to build 2 Death Stars Yes, they only succeeded with one, once, and eventually lost, but that just goes to show that even when you dual death star its not instant win.

Redundancy is just being a smart general.

@drummerholt1234 - I think both list are pretty much on par with each other, at this point it would be a style preference. CSM for hanging back, NM for taking it to them. For me, I typically run the dual lash princes, 2 PM squads, 1 NM squad, 6 Oblits, and 1 Vindicator with DP... yeah cookie cutter, but just to give you an idea of what another person on this thread runs. I find the NM typically marginalized it terms of activity, but it would be the same if I took a CSM, NM, or even another PM squad..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/795962.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/795962.page GMT The Decayed Lash [Updated] and , eh?

Mine is mixed and , and I call mine "Ecstasy in Decay," which also happens to be an old Cannibal Corpse song. I am actually Black Legion and Abaddon just whips all the different folks into action, having the favor of all gods, and "makes it happen."

However, as Cannerus_The_Unbearable thankfully adds that in legacy fluff there was a way of giving Slaanesh a banner (Rapturous Standard) than gave them FnP in some situations, and with Count Zazz on your team, its easy to fluff up your list to be all Slaanesh, but have some of the Slaanesh worshippers have FnP (counts as Plague Marines).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/796005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/796005.page GMT The Decayed Lash [Updated] http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/796296.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/796296.page GMT The Decayed Lash [Updated]

Yeah, that's a pretty solid list.
I run a similar list, but 10 Termies instead of the Vindicator, 1750 pts.
The Termies are almost a bargain. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/797003.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244479/797003.page GMT The Decayed Lash [Updated] DCCW) (totally not optimal) , but usually it ends up being a single Termicide Squad (3 Terms, 3x Combi-Meltas) or just add more Plague Marines or Noise Marines. But once you get your base, it's pretty much just minor tweaks that fit in with your play style, meta, etc.

I've think I have even ran it without filling in the extra points a few times, because I often forget I have those points floating around... and still do fine.

Fair warning though, the recent changes in meta based on IG codex have made this harder to play. Lots more mech showing up on the tables.
