<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Pure 1k Sons for 1850 Tournament"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Pure 1k Sons for 1850 Tournament
List 1: 3-1-1 in 1v1 playtesting; 2-0 in 2v2s.

HQ: 2x MoT DP with wings and GoC & BoC
Heavy Support: 1x Defiler w/ Daemon Possession and 2x Vindicator w/ Daemon Possession
Troops: 3x AS w/ BoC and Meltabombs + 8 1k Sons + Rhino w/ Combi-melta & Daemon Possession

General Tactics: Suppress hordes and armor w/ the Vindis and Defilers, tear into more armor with the DPs (who pull double duty as cc monsters), and finally rush Rhinos into firing positions for the 1k Sons. Interestingly enough, I like to assault with my 1k sons if it looks like the enemy will anyways. It deny's them the charge bonus and w/ relentless I get a nice round of shooting first.

List 2: Literally just came up with this in my head while reading another article. Should be around 1850, may be a bit over.

HQ: 2x MoT DP with wings and some spells
Heavy Support: A Land Raider with Daemon Possession and whatever pintle options I can get
Troops: 4x AS w/ BoC and Meltabombs + 8 1k Sons + Rhino w/ Combi-melta & Daemon Possession

General Tactics: Use the much more survivable Land Raider as my fire base and do the same sort of thing with my 1k Sons and my DPs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452619/4341745.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452619/4341745.page GMT Pure 1k Sons for 1850 Tournament
I like the concept of the second list however I would say that one LR is too much of a target. I would take or maybe even 3 in the points, maybe drop a prince for it and put the 1k sons in them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452619/4342014.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452619/4342014.page GMT Re:Pure 1k Sons for 1850 Tournament DP an offensive psychic power like wind of chaos. And only one. He is expensive enough...

3 squads of TS are good with rhino and combimelta, but I would suggest doombolt on the sorcerer and no possession on the rhino, it works better together with the bolters and is cheaper.

Maybe some tzeentch termies into the landraider? 2 combimeltas (one with powerfist, one with chainfist) and 3 pairs of lc? Then I added a greater daemon, upgraded a lc termie to a champion so the daemon could come out of him.

Termicide - 3 all w/ Combi-Melta's & one w/ a chainfist. Deep strike as close as possible to a pesky armored vehicle & (hopefully) destroy it. Cheap, generally effective & when it gets the crap shot out of it next turn, you've only lost 140pts. Loading a bunch of Termies w/ Icon of Tzeentch into a LR is a massive pts sink really. Sadly, our termies & our LR are not on par w/ our Imperial counterparts & are generally best avoided. We have better CC units & better HS options.

Also, the 3x LR & 3x TS squads are going to run you right @ 1482pts. That's just Doombolt on the Sorcs & just possesion on the LR's. Leaving just over 500 pts for the Possessed Vindi's, the Defiler & the two DP's w/ MoT & WoC - not enough.

Roger that man. I figured it would be a little over the top for 1850 anyways. So a 3 man termicide unit huh? Now that I have to try.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452619/4343058.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452619/4343058.page GMT Re:Pure 1k Sons for 1850 Tournament
Daemon Prince - Wings, MoT, BoC, GoC

Chaos Terminators - 5x LC
   Land Raider - Combi Melta

Thousand Sons - Warptime (dunno if this is good, but it was around mid-range on points cost)
   Land Raider - Combi Melta
Thousand Sons - Warptime
   Land Raider - Combi Melta
Thousand Sons - Warptime
   Land Raider - Combi Melta

It's not a very good list I'm sure, but it does have 8 TLLCs, a small bunch of troops who will deny MEQs their armor saves (who most likely rerolls to hit and to wound) and a decent death star. it's 1846 points, just for reference. This list looks fun, but probably only in friendly games. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452619/4343169.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452619/4343169.page GMT Pure 1k Sons for 1850 Tournament imo. It's a bit too deathstar for my taste though]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452619/4347897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452619/4347897.page GMT
