http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net DA gun line list a while back and I'm wondering what dakka thinks of it. I'm also wondering if the new vanilla marine dex can do it better. Thoughts?

Aegis Defense Line 100pts
Quad Gun

4 Librarian 400pts
Infravisor(on all Libbys)
Power field Generators(on all Libbys)

2 Techmarine 110pts
Infravisor

Command Squad 165pts
Banner of Devastation
4 Boltguns

6 Tactical Squads 85pts x 6=510pts
Plasma Cannon

6 Devastator Squads 135pts x 6=810pts
3 Missile Launchers
1 Lascannon

4 Dreadnought
Dual TL Autocannon


I can't remember the point costs for the dreads off the top of my head but I think that this list was 2500pts. The strategy is have the Librarians take prescience and group up with the Devastator squads. The Techmarines give bonus cover to ruins the Devastators hide in, then hide behind Dreads. The dreads line up behind the Aegis line. Have a unit of Devastators in the Aegis line with the quad gun.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6110024.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6110024.page GMT DA, they do static gunlines much better than vanilla marines imo.

I am building towards a similar version of the list at 2000, Try this

4 Librarians w/ Level 2 and PFG
520

4 Tactical Squads (10 man) w/ Heavy Bolter (to extend kill range) and Combi - Plasma
640

Aegis w/ Quadgun
100

Command Squad w/Bolter Banner, Apothecary, TL Lasback
255

3 Trilas Predators
420

Whirlwind
65

And that's 2000 exactly, you should be able to modify it quite easily at 2500, but imo once you go up past 4 Tacticals w/ Libbies, it gets quite crowded behind the Aegis.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6111928.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6111928.page GMT
I want to like vehicles in this edition but it seems so easy to wipe them off the board. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6112101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6112101.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6115686.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6115686.page GMT IMO. The 4 tl autocannons should be good enough to deal with most flyers. If your opponent is running twin Space Chickens (Heldrakes), then theres not much hope with that many clumped up tacs, so make the most of the bolters! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6115699.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6115699.page GMT DA rather poor AA.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6115728.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6115728.page GMT dev squad w/ flakk missiles and a libby w/pfg at a recent tournament, and it was one of my best units of the day. I think the one change I would make to my list, now that I own 1, would be to switch out the land speeder with an aegis line w/ quad gun.
Just a warning though, tau can be a brutal match up for you since they will, if that is all, have better ranges with their base weapons (30"). And a Fateweaver/screamerstar/FMC list, that gets the best powers/rewards, that gets up and running will give you fits.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6116181.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6116181.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6118051.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555691/6118051.page GMT
