<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "1850 AM list"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 1850 AM list 40K universe for about half a year so I'm relearning all the rules and familiarizing myself with the new codex, so feel free to tear this list to shreds. I know I'll take flak for my tank choice with the commander. I tried to make a flexible list, where majority of the units could do damage to tanks or infantry. Its lacking AA but thats better than none. Lots of HQ in this list as well, that will most likely get revised as well. Here we go:

HQ-

CCS: Creed, Astropath, 3 Plasma guns, Medic- Chimera(Auger array) [315]

Primarius Psyker: x2 [100]

Priest: x2 [50]

Enginseer: [40]

Tank Commander: Demolisher, Demolisher [380]


Troop-

PCS: 3 Melta, Flamer [65]
20 Man blob: 2 Melta, 2 AC [140]
20 Man blob: 2 Melta. 2 AC [140]

Vets: AC, Forward senteries, 2 Plasma, melta, melta bombs [125]

Elite-

Scion: 2 additonal members, 2 Volly Guns [114]
Scion Command: 2 Volly guns, 2 Meltas [125]


Fast-

Vendetta [170]

Heavy-

Hydra [70]


-1849

(vets camp back hopefully on an obj, melta bombs to handle deepstriking tanks or outflanking units, protect hydra and plasma to handle the other threats. I know mixing the two weapons is usually frowned upon, but I did it anyways)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590660/6740854.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590660/6740854.page GMT 1850 AM list
Also, the hydra doesn't seem very useful as they will most likely be taken out before they can be useful due to the lack of interceptor.

Other than that, it looks alright as far as I can see, even if it isn't the most optimal list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590660/6740873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590660/6740873.page GMT 1850 AM list AT and AI.

I agree with the hydra, however I needed something else to help with AA and that was my next best bet(cheapest as well) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590660/6740953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590660/6740953.page GMT 1850 AM list

The thing is, you have to center the hole in the blast marker on one of the vehicles. Unless they're right next to each other that isn't going to happen. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590660/6741013.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590660/6741013.page GMT 1850 AM list

You have to make sure the central hole is wholly over a vehicle. not central on the vehicle.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590660/6741292.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590660/6741292.page GMT 1850 AM list CCS. Only two can shoot from the hatch of the chimera, and I don't think you are planning on getting out much.

The tank commander's awesome bs 4 is wasted in the demolisher. How does he make it better? You may as well put the squad in your heavy support section and redistribute the points somewhere else. A punisher with multimeltas and pask is pretty cool, with 23 rending s5 shots and two rending multimeltas (makes them more useful at 24" range) and he costs 20 points more than the tank commander's demolisher. You can shred infantry with that squad as well, and it retains the AI/AT versatility you were aiming for.

As far as AA goes, you could drop the the hydra, the augur array and one of Creed's plasma guns and fit a defense line with a quad gun for the blob(s) to sit behind.
