<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "750 Space Marines for Escalation league"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 750 Space Marines for Escalation league FLGS is having a 4 month escalation 40k league, starting next month. Month 1 is 750 with 1 HS, HQ, Elite and FA per slot and no allies and forts.

Me being a C:SM player makes building a list like this not easy (but my meta isn't very competetive). I've made one with a Grav-Cent star (x3 Grav Centurions w/ TDA Librarain) and x2 5 man plasma tac squads w/ a ST. I tried to shake it up and swapped the centurions with 3 combi-plas sternguard (one 5 man unit) w/ level 2 PA librarain in a razorback, but that list got rolled. Now I'm thinking along this line:

Librarian w/ JP and MB
Vanguard Vets w/ JPs and Sgt. TH/SS
2 x8 Tac squads w/ PG and Sgt. Combi-plas
Skyhammer Storm Talon
TFC

749 pts

That comes to 735, so you got some points for gear]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6438798.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6438798.page GMT 750 Space Marines for Escalation league http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6444964.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6444964.page GMT Re:750 Space Marines for Escalation league http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6445198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6445198.page GMT Re:750 Space Marines for Escalation league

Well, you can combat squad when you're not doing kill points. If you only take 8 you can't combat squad them, and that flexibility is pretty big. What do you mean about the heavies in the same squad? You've got a heavy and an assault per squad, and you can split them into combat squads, or move em up with the rhinos.
Mostly based on experience (combined with bad rolling), my combat squads don't tend to survive very long, so i tend to keep the full strength squads in order to last longer.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6445347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6445347.page GMT Re:750 Space Marines for Escalation league
The list I made is much more shooty, with pretty much no CC, but you've got some pretty decent firepower, I'm not sure what you're fighting but with the sold troop core, an AA flyer and a awesome artillery piece in the TFC with some Lucy you should be fine, but hey yrmv. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6445771.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6445771.page GMT 750 Space Marines for Escalation league AS, and orks (no players signed up for those armies), with the marines being a slight (43%) majority, with a healthy mix of the IG, necrons and tau and the like. Like in the op, making a TAC list for this is tough, but i'll try the configuration you suggested, early on troops will be important.

I'm tinkering with switching the TFC for a Auto-Las pred. Other than Necrons, there isn't much that can handle AV13 in 750 IMO, unless people bring cheapo haywire. Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6445792.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6445792.page GMT Re:750 Space Marines for Escalation league TFC. Its solid against pretty much any troops. I like preds, but they tend to underpreform for me. I would probably take an dreadnought with double autocannons before a single tank, but thats not to say it wont work well for you. You could swap out the AA missiles to something meatier and use your flier for tank hunting as well and keep the TFC.

Just some thoughts.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6450691.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573471/6450691.page GMT
