Yarrick has some of the worst written rules in the game. Actual raw is he can't be warlord if any model as sr officer, but he has sr officer so he disqualifies himself from being warlord even if he is the only hq choice, but they gave him a warlord trait.

So far most stores in my area made the RAI ruling that having sr officer allows him to be warlord instead of forbids him from ever being warlord. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6804744.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6804744.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6804775.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6804775.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament.

SWS cant have autocannons (hint read the codex)

Snipers are great for dealing with MCs. but that is alot of snipers.

You do lack AA and AT.

Lol. I meant to type "drop yarrick and take HWS with AC" typos happen.

As for the lack of AA and AT, AC will solve most of that, though the odd AV14 in 1500 maybe ruin your day.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6805946.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6805946.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament. AV 14 is a concern.

The AC and plasma are enough to drop AV12 and less. If I move an IC into a henchman squad they can gain tank hunters through orders.

I can ignore flyers except for a helldrake, but if it's drake heavy I think I can kill all his troops before he kills mine

AV13/14 is the problem. The only solution I see is to focus on parts of his army I can kill and hope my target saturation is a bigger pain in his ass than his high av units are in mine. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6806668.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6806668.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament.

I love sniper rifles for filling out command squads, but only after using their heavy weapon slot. Sniper SWS are fantastic for sticking on backfield objectives (3 SWS sniper squads might be over doing it though), they're dirt cheap and can contribute long-range fire support for half the cost of a normally equipped guard squad.

The CCS needs a heavy bolter, AC, missile launcher, or lascannon. Their BS4 is too good to waste on four snipers. Ratlings might be a decent buy as anti-MC insurance.

Call me crazy, but why not some HWS? Your FOMT and BID orders will go much further with a HWS of autocannons or missile launchers.

I'm also not crazy about stocking up so much gear into regular guard squads. I usually prefer to keep my guardsmen as lasgunners with a cheap special weapon (grenade launcher or flamer) and kit out my veterans with heavy weapons and plasma. For 10 points your squad is way more effective at BS4. And with go to ground and get back in the fight, your vets can be survivable and effective.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6807032.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6807032.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament.
Vets are very tempting. I could dump down to a single unit of 50 conscripts and swap out the 2nd platoon for 3 squads of vets.

I avoid hwt like the plague. Serpent shields ignore cover and ID them. A buff commander in a unit of split fire will dish out enough s7 mp hits to easily snuff 2 units of hws per turn with ignore cover hits. The only effective defense for geq is ablative wounds.

The ccs can man a quad gun or stay out of trouble. A heavy weapon would only have 2 ablative wounds before the ID hits roll in. Stronger weapons in the squad are a reminder that the squad should be a high priority target. Hiding the sr officer out of los works on wave serpents, but not against tau smart missiles.

Finished more models today for a small change.

-1 SWS and -a single conscript. The list was at 1,499. +8 bolter henchmen so all 3 squads have 9 bolters and 3 plasma. Bolters are useful and I feel more comfortable with 9 ablative wounds before plasma.

I'm probably going to have yarrick, cotaez, or the inquisitor man the quad while attached to the conscripts.

Goal for the ccs is to find a spot where the company commander can hid out of los while the rest of the squad shoots.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6807294.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6807294.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament.
At the same time I think you can afford to loose some anti-infantry power.

How about some lascannons for the blobs?

]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6807988.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6807988.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament. AC and blob them together? The fact is without AC or LC your army will get blown away. As for the HWS getting killed my serpents, you have range 48" and their SL are range 36" (though the shield is 72") so maybe they will be out of TL range which will save you some. Also if you go first you can easily take out some serpents with enough AC.

Again if you do not make any changes this list will not last long at all versus any of the med/high tier armies. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6808181.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6808181.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament.

Thank you for repeating exactly what I said, just in case no one managed to read it the first time.
Note that his thread title and post heading is "AM/GK," and does not reference the Inquisition. In the actual list, he says Inquisition, but he's given two GK references and only one Inq. And folks (at least in my parts) commonly refer to the GK Inquisitors and Henchmen as "Inquisition," so....it's worth clarifying.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6809412.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6809412.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6809427.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6809427.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament. GK confusion. The sad part is I corrected all the IG to AM while proof reading.

I can only purchase 30 infantry and 60 points of heavy/special weapons if I dump the 70 conscripts. It would make for a more balanced gunline list, but I'm going for a midfield control list instead of a gunline.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6810110.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6810110.page GMT Re:1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament.
With no transports melta (guns or bombs) will most likely require deep-striking. Scions? 200 pts or so will buy you two suicide squads. A pity the deep-strike is no longer as accurate as it was...

Buffs in mind I think spending the pts to upgrade AC to LC in your blobs will be the easiest way to at least get a fighting chance. 4 lascannons is not much, but it is something and I think you have enough S7 shooting with all those plasmas.

HWS are probably the way to go. Also I prefer Lascannon and 2x Sniper on my CCS but YMMV.

I think you can drop bolters on the platoon sargeants, are they really going to achieve much more when you have such a high volume of fire anyway?

Also, in my opinion, the =][= lacks a little direction other than adding more bodies and a few plasma guns. So for a start, rad and psychotroke grenades are going to make little difference should you get charged, so either swap henchmen for assassins and a more combat based squad, or lose the grenades.

That would be an odd fight. I would lulz at the vanquishers as they shoot guardsmen in the face with a vanquisher cannon and ignore them, and he would lulz when I can't drop 3 knights. It would all depend on who had troops left.

Punishers and nova cannons would be a concern.

I have MM servitor models and the option is on the table. I have mixed feelings about them on foot. The price is great, but there is a loss of flexibility with where I place my inquisitors due to servo lock.

I'm thinking of drop psychotrope for the scout book. No way I'm going to drop rad. A charge from 5 conscripts with rad and a priest is often close to a charge from a single assassin with rad and a priest. The rad and 2 priests can easily cause a cocky unit to get swarmed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6811338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6811338.page GMT 1,500 AM/GK foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament.

Actually I can squish a knight by swarming it with a blob/conscripts and double hammer handing Yarrick, Coteaz, and 2 priests up to about dozen S10 AP2 swings with hatred. The squad would take really heavy casualties with stomps and it would take very careful placement. The knights would need to use caution when approaching large units with the IC and avoid charges.

In either case, the Vanquisher russes would be used here to just harass whatever it can while the carapace troops follow behind the knights or tanks just for some extra dice.

No doubt throwing enough bodies at it will eventually kill a knight, but that said. when the knight explodes, blobs will generally be too depleted to do much. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6811946.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6811946.page GMT 1,500 AM=][= foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6815138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6815138.page GMT 1,500 AM=][= foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6815336.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6815336.page GMT 1,500 AM=][= foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament.

MSU force a ton of grounding checks. 6 tests in a single turn will result in a grounding even with fateweaver around. If the conscripts get a charge bonus, hatred, shred, and standard reduce a deamon's I to 1 grenades the deamon is going to get swarmed.

In both cases of dropping the MC the buffing IC were nearly about 10" from the squad that did the charge. I was able to attach a priest and the rad grenade inquisitor to the conscript squad on my left flank and the conscripts alone were enough to pull down the demon prince with hate, shred, rad, and nades that reduced the deamon to I1. Next turn I was able to string out the right flank's conscripts to allow an IC to join and send the left flank's conscripts after the pink horrors.

It was an awkward and difficult game for both of us. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6815670.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6815670.page GMT 1,500 AM=][= foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament.

Yea I need a lot more practice with this list. It might work out well if I'm familiar with it and an opponent is thrown off their game.

Next step is to paint 25mm square whfb bases bright colors and stick them under regular round bases on small squads that don't move much like the sws ccs and pcs to clearly mark them.

Also avoid playing the day after working a night shift when I'm sleep deprived and jittery from caffine.

I'm currently WISWYG and only have I only have 4 storm bolters modeled. The idea is tempting. The only downsides I see to it is it will attract more fire towards the henchmen which is where opponents probably should shoot anyways, and I don't have the models.. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6833646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6833646.page GMT 1,500 AM=][= foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6833692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6833692.page GMT 1,500 AM=][= foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament.
Last minute change was I removed 1 priest, removed the quad gun, removed the sws, and added 2 primars psykers both lvl1 with divination.

Went 2 wins and a tie. The wins were bloody but I can trade casualties better Troop heavy space wolves did better than a mean 4 wave serpent eldar list. The tie was an odd and fun game. It was BAO format kp primary scouring secondary. Mind war and jetbike scoring were a huge problem for me but the blobs/conscripts took down 2 wraithknights and a seer heavy ianden wraithblade unit.

Quick question, how did the conscripts drag down wraith knights? Do they have krack grenades? I can't remember.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6844544.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6844544.page GMT 1,500 AM=][= foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6844758.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6844758.page GMT 1,500 AM=][= foot swarm for a small local 3 round tournament. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6845683.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593859/6845683.page GMT
