<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Astra Militarum NEED HELP CHOOSING LIST"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Astra Militarum NEED HELP CHOOSING LIST Okay, I've devised a number of Astra Militarum lists to use. Their main nemesis will be Tau, but I prefer to be as TAC as possible. I will have a full Wall of Martyrs Defence Line and a Bastion to keep my Guardsmen in cover, so extra Fortifications are not a huge priority. Again, any changes to any of the lists or whole new ones will be gladly welcomed!!

Still here? If you read it, thank you, and feedback would be very handy! If not, what are you waiting for? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6888005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6888005.page GMT Astra Militarum NEED HELP CHOOSING LIST - Not a fan of giving PIS/PCS special weps that cost about 3 times the dude using it. Vets are OK but packing lots of special weapons into squads to the point each man has a plasma weapon or better is risky since guardsmen aren't exactly hardy. I'd go for more men, with less special weapon/heavy weapon density per squad so the enemy has to kill the worthless lasguns first. In example, a single template on your PCS could wipe out 80 pts of good weapons before they even get to fire.

For list 2
- Never used a superheavy in a game before so I have no comment.

For list 3
- Manticores count as a heavy slot each so you cannot have 3 bassies and manticores.

For list 4
- Probably my favourite list. I am a tank guy but this seems like the best of the lot. Good weapon densities in each squad. Scions are OK for having a high special wep density since they could potentially last a big longer than a PCS. Vendettas and valks are always welcome. Again, keep squads to a defined role. You cannot split fire unless you are having your CCS follow your vet squad with the demolitions around so I'd suggest giving them a defined role rather than giving them various weapons as a TAC squad ( which doesn't work well ). You cannot have more than 1 doctrine for your vet squad.

For list 5
- Light for a mech list. 3 tanks and and 6 transports are good but transports probably won't live very long. Then again, with the new rules in 7th ed, transports will definitely shrug some hits off. Not really a fan of the taurox but thats just me. Probably my 2nd fav list.

For list 6
- No comment on allies. IG/AM don't need no battle brothers! We will conquer the galaxy on our own!! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6888042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6888042.page GMT Astra Militarum NEED HELP CHOOSING LIST I was aware though that Veterans could take multiple Doctrines? It says any, instead of one.
For the Mech list, I was going to have the transports move behind a steel wall of Leman Russ hulls to give some cover. That would keep my men safer!

I will be devising a tank-heavy list soon to add to this, but leaning towards 4 and 5.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6888075.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6888075.page GMT Astra Militarum NEED HELP CHOOSING LIST AT at those point levels so 3 russes won't last very long.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6888097.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6888097.page GMT Astra Militarum NEED HELP CHOOSING LIST http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6889280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6889280.page GMT Astra Militarum NEED HELP CHOOSING LIST - that would be something I would play. True to an armoured company.
- that said as well, I'm not a fan of sponsons so if you are game, throw the sponsons and get more tanks :p.
- special wep density is too high in PCS so move the meltas around.

However, with regards to the melta PCS, I would be putting them in a Valkyrie/Vendetta and using them as a melta-cide squad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6890703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598068/6890703.page GMT
