http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k Dawn of War computer came with a grid and upgrades to earn based on what you capture. Starting out there are to be only 500 points without any upgrades available and no vehicles. MCs are allowed but as my friends putting this on are not as competitive as me I am looking for more of a just all round fun army not a pound them into the ground list.

Ideas?

I was thinking typhus, with some plague marines and cultist for starters?

Thoughts? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/5991599.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/5991599.page GMT

5 Plague Marines? It would be better if you took the cultists away and get 5 more plague marines. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/5991786.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/5991786.page GMT
I have not worked out the numbers yet.

Kharn The Betrayer

12 Khorne Berserkers

5 Chaos Space Marines with no sarg, just 5 Boltguns

This gives a decent amount of ranged firepower 5-10 shots depending on range, these can also hold any objectives.
Then having Kharne and the berserkers providing you reach your enemy in good time with little casualties you will tear through any enemy in close combat. You can always split the Berserkers to a smaller group and add 5 plague marines there FnP is great for the model point cost. Another good unit would be raptors these give a fast forward moving force that can tie up any long range damage dealers to stop them killing your berserkers giving you a better chance in combat.

Sorry for the huge paragraph just different things you can try.

I don't have my codex infront of me at work however I wonder if rapotors will fit into the list as I am still required to have the basic force organizational chart slots filled.

I had another idea that brings me to exactly 500 points and that is:

Typhus
5 Plague marines
5 standard marines
5 standard marines

no upgrades that brings me to exactly 500 points. This is an escilation schenario he wants to do but for the first battle starts at 500 points and I think he wants to eventually work our way up to large battles with upgrades and stuff based on what factories or shrines we hold on his risk board.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/5996812.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/5996812.page GMT Dp.

Hell, there's a load of options that you could take now that the "meta" has classified as useless.

Why not take some possessed or Warp Talons?

Thousand Sons would rip through marines at that points range, or you could take Huron and make him infiltrate a 20-strong squad of berzerkers. They would do some serious damage and wouldn't have to deal with vehicles getting in their way.

Actually, considering that none of you can take special weapons, and that Thousand Sons basic weapon is AP3, you could actually field them competitively in this case and even have fun at the same time. Win win!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/5997070.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/5997070.page GMT HQ as well as any other toys I can fit into ths list.

Maybe something like a Chasose Lord 2 X 5 man CSM and a 1k squad? that would leave me with about 130 points to play with.

I like the idea of the 1k Sons squad tho however the sorc would be useless as he has banned the physic powers for the first few rounds until I capture a shire or something.

I like the idea of bikers however they are not troops and are pretty points intensive them selves but do allow for point contestation.

HQ - Lord 65pts

TROOP 1 - 10 Cultists 50pts
TROOP 2 - 5x CSM with Bolters 75pts

ELITE 1 - 5 Plague Marines 115pts?

Then you have 195pts to play with for more plague marines and a rhino? or something along those lines]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/6000605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/6000605.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/6000630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548745/6000630.page GMT
