http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net FLGS started a league a couple of months ago, so I decided to start a new GK project I've been contemplating. It's an escalation league & we just finished our "1250 month", every month we add an add'l 250, up to 2k. I've written up two separate lists, giving me different options on where I want to take the list & depending on my final decision, it's going to influence how I take the list from here.

1st List
Draigo

Libby
Mastery 3
Ward Stave
Psybolt ammo
Might of Titan, The Shrouding & Sanctuary

10 Paladins
Apothecary
4 Psycannons
2 Hammers
2 Falcions
4 Halberds
1 Ward Stave
1 Sword
Psybolt ammo

10 Paladins
Apothecary
4 Incinerators
2 Hammers
2 Falcions
4 Halberds
1 Ward Stave
1 Sword
Psybolt ammo

Total is 1980, giving me some pts for extras. The idea here is that in KP games, or even in the two obj missions I can keep them in two squads & have plenty of firepower and they'll be incredibly hard to thin down. In multiple obj missions I can combat squad & have 4 scoring units able to claim obj. Unfortunately, two of the squads will have no FnP.

2nd List
Draigo

Libby
The Shrouding, Might of Titan, Sanctuary

5 Paladins
2 Psycannons
2 Halberds
1 Hammer
1 Sword
1 Falchion

5 Paladins
2 Psycannons
2 Halberds
1 Hammer
1 Sword
1 Falchion

5 Paladins
2 Incinerators
2 Halberds
1 Hammer
1 Sword
1 Falchion

Stormraven, T/L Multi-Melta, T/L Lascannon
Stormraven, T/L Multi-Melta, T/L Lascannon
Stormraven, T/L Multi-Melta, T/L Lascannon

Total is 1985, again leaving me some room for upgrades. I lose out on a full squad of Paladins & FnP for all of them, but gain some mobility & some anti-tank. Also, against more infantry based armies, on the SR's I can switch out T/L Plasma cannons or T/L assault cannons for the Lascannons, as they're all free.

A couple of my friends in the group have suggested that in list 1, I take out the Mastery 3 on the Libby (probably will do this anyway) and the Apothecary's, freeing up 200 pts & possibly adding a Vindicare. The idea has merit, but up till this point, the FnP has REALLY saved me quite a bit - tho to be fair we've just done 750, 1k & 1250, so there's not much heavy weaponry floating around that gets thru the FnP @ those lvl's - some armies can field more than others obviously, but most of us have all started new projects w/ the league (that was the point) and are all learning new lists/weapons/tactics & FnP has paid off well. I might switch out two of the Incinerators for two more Psycannons. I like the idea of list 2 quite a bit too, it feels a bit more fragile, but for some reason it intrigues me.

Any experienced GK players willing to give me their thoughts on the matter? Thanks for everyone's input.

That said, I personally like list 2 if your deadset on them. Turbo boosting 3 AV12, immune to melta, 3++ cover vehicles you can assault out of? And then shoot 3 meltas when they boost still? Sickness. I've seen the 20 pally version play, its too many eggs in one basket. You have 1 squad thats hard to kill due to draigo and the libby, and another squad that most metalists will melta off the board.

I'd look into Solodins too; more scoring units for ya.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449165/4272718.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449165/4272718.page GMT
