http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k for about nine years but I decided to get back into it. I always envied the 'crons so I decided to start new with them.

I picked up a batleforce and am going to build up from there. This is a basic 1000 point list I think might be fun to try and I would like to see any opinions or critiques you might (hopefully) have.


1000 points:

HQ- 160 points
Overlord w/ warscythe, mind Shackle Scarabs, Sempiternal Weave, res orb

Troop- (675 points)
Warrior * 10 in ghost arc (245 points)
Warrior * 10 in ghost arc (245 points)
Immortals (gauss) * 5 in night scythe (185 points)

Fast Attack- 75
Scarab swarm * 5

Heavy Support- 90
Annihilation Barge


My plan is to run a very mobile list (not the classic phalanx but I think it could be fun). I'd use the gauss rules to take out pretty much everything (most importantly tanks) assisted by the A barge to give support. I can maybe get rid of a warrior and throw the overlord in one of the arc's or just put him in the night scythe with the Immortals.

So... any suggestions. Should I just scrap the list and start anew??? any help is greatly appreciated.

ps. please forgive me if I broke any rules I am more than happy to edit my post.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575069/6463589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575069/6463589.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575069/6463631.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575069/6463631.page GMT
I'll offer you a slightly different list that will save you the $ on a second ghost Ark by getting a box of Lychguard instead. debateable which is better but something for you to think about anyway!

So you are limited to:

5 Immortals/Deathmasks
20 Warriors
Ghost/Doomsday Ark
5 Scarabs

+Minimum extra to reach 1000pts.

I would suggest something like the below as a start. This is certainly not the most optimal 1000pt build but it gives you a good variety of units to try and will do well enough against most (although it might be a little light on troops!):

HQ
Overlord, WS,MSS,SW,ReOrb (with 11 warriors) - 160
Royal Court:
- Harbinger of Despair (with Deathmasks) - 30
- Harbringer of Destruction (with 9 Warriors) - 35
- Harbringer of Destruction (with 11 Warriors) - 35

Elite
5 x Deathmasks, Night Scythe - 195

Troop
9 x Warriors, Ghost Ark - 232
11 x Warriors - 143

Fast Attack
5 x Scarabs - 75

Heavy Support
ABarge - 90

995

Most people find the Night Scythe and ABarge are the 2 most cost effective and awesome things in the codex.

For this list you will need to buy 1 x ABarge, 1 x Night Scythe and a box of Lychguards.

The ABarge box comes with a Overlord/Lord model on foot and you can convert the Lychguards into Crypteks and it leaves you with a couple of spare models for when you expand.

Second list looks cool too. I never thought of bringing a royal court. plus it seems like a little less money which is always nice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575069/6463704.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575069/6463704.page GMT
