Fotification

Agies - Quadgun

This comes to 2002 points, as i said this for a friendly game and the guys in my group dont care if you go a point or 2 over.

The thinking is to have the 2 Libbys join the command squad, and setup midfield with the both 10 man Tac squads. The Libbys will prescience both tac. sqauds and support with what other powers they roll. They will hold whatever the midfield objective is, with the banner that is 92 bolter shots they can put out, 64 of which are twinlinked. All three squads have a 4++ from the PFG and the command squad and Libbys have FNP from the apoth.

The agies/quad gun is setup in the backfield manned by one of the dev. squds, while the other dev. squad chooses a prime location in cover somewhere. Each has melta bombs in case of dropping dreads which my friends like to do.

The 2 rhino squads will setup where they can be still turn 1 and then advadnce towards the enemy, possibly armored targets for the sergeants with thier PF's and melta bombs, or objectives. Turn 1 they will be still to help unleash12 plasma blasts at the enemy. The sergeants are a threat to just about anything with their 3 base attacks choosing between the LC or PF.

The black knights will deploy and scout forward so they can wreck havock in the opponents backfield. With the plasma talons, grenade launcher, rending hammers,and melta bombs they will be a threat to everything.

And in case you were counting thats 25 plasma weapons in this army, 12 PC, 9 PT, 2 PG, 2 Combis. I think it looks fun, let me know what you think.

Drop the Sergeant upgrades and just go for a combi-weapon matched to their special weapon (in this case plasma). Drop the Plasma Cannons down to plasma guns as you can move and shoot them unlike the PCs (on the 5 man squads).

I would consider some techmarine bikers to put 2+ tanks at the front of the Black Knight squads. I would give their Sergeants power mauls as they actually are a combat unit.

Do you need 2 Lvl2 Psykers? I'd drop at least 1 down to lvl1 if not both. With the points saved here and by dropping all the unnecessary CC upgrades on the tac squads you should be able to get those Techmarines.

If your regular opponents use drop pod dreads some melta would be advisable. Perhaps on the Rhino tac squads.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549039/5997209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549039/5997209.page GMT Re:DA Dakka Plasma Spam http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549039/5997258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549039/5997258.page GMT Re:DA Dakka Plasma Spam

Nonsense!
Not everything you hit is a Space Marine.
MC's, Terminator, vehicles or any other army and the maul is easily the better choice. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549039/5997293.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549039/5997293.page GMT Re:DA Dakka Plasma Spam

Agree! A Power Mace and a Power Staff are great weapons for hunting everything that is not in power weapon! Eldar and Tau are greatly played armies and a power mace will cause serious pain( if one can get then but that is another history)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549039/5997317.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549039/5997317.page GMT DA Dakka Plasma Spam MEQs too as they instant death once you've made them T3 and they kill Ork Nobz with power claws for fun...
