http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net After toying around for a week, I finally have a rough draft for an army of Fallen led by Cypher.
Just know that I've put specific limits on the army to fit into the idea that all the Fallen are scattered around space and time and this group represents a small gathering of them, coming back together as brothers of a broken family.
This limits include:
1: no units that include more than 3 (marine) models in the unit, to represent their small numbers.
2: limited vehicles because obtaining one would be difficult without allies, and also because vehicles need pilots, and that adds another marine into the group.
I will be using the Space Wolves codex with the champions of fenris force organization chart to maximize HQ and Elite slots for beefier dudes with cooler wargear.
From a narrative standpoint, these guys have survived alone in the galaxy, some for thousands of years, and others in the warp. As such, each marine has a unique background and story behind them, and this is going to be represented on the tabletop. Currently, I only have 5 models for this project, and each already has his own story.
So yeah, crazy cool stuff I think.

Without further ado: 1000 points of Fallen
Cypher- 190

Wolf Lord-170
-Runic armor
-Krakenbone sword
-combi-plasma

Rune Priest-120
-Runic armor
-Mastery level 2
-Warding Stave
-Combi-plasma

Iron Priest-55 (pre-wulfen. Im not sure if i need to use the wulfen book price and placement, if i do itll change a few things)
-No upgrades

Lone wolf- 60
-Terminator armor
-frost sword
-Combi flamer

Drop pod-35
-no upgrades

Long fangs-30
-No upgrades

Long fangs-90
-Longang ancient
--melta gun
--melta bombs
-Wolfguard battleleader
--terminator armor
--Combi-plasma
--chainfist

Officio assassinorium detachment 150
Vindicare assassin

Fortification 100
Aegis defense line
-quad gun

Okay, so the plan is to shove the 90 point long fang unit with the rune priest, wolf lord, Cypher, amd the iron priest all into the drop pod. Then, have the vindicare next to an objective and just score and shoot all game. The barebones longfangs will be with the ADL shooting the quad gun next to another objective in my zone. The lone wolf will drop in where he can hold off some shooting or tie up a unit in close combat. When the drop pod comes in, unload plasma into something that has high armor and no cover save. If no decent targets are there, then disembark behind the pod for extra cover with Cypher's Shrouded. Turn 2, break apart and charge stuff. Rune priest goes.after things that need to be instant killed, iron priest.and.long fangs go.after.vehicles.im the area
Lord goes after.MEQ with his I5 AP2 sword, and Cypher goes around.doing.the same thing while shooting plasma into everything. ADL takes.on light vehicles and flyers, vindicare takes out sargents and other special weapons to decrease the chance of one of my other dudes getting punked.
Rune priest will be taking one power in biomancy and hoping for something good, if not, the primaris is solid. The other point could either go towards divination or the space wolf one.
The vindicare will be modeled.like a marine crouching with a sniper rifle. To represent the lack of a power armor save, ill give him Ogryn arms and a head without a helm on the model.

So there you have it. What do you think? I know its not the most competitive army, but itll certainly be fun to play with. What else can i add.or change to optimize it better? I was.thinking of having a culexus assassin instead.of Vindicare because of how hard itll be to take down, but.i figure that at 1000 points ill need more objective grabbing than another distractipn for my opponent. Plus a culexus would suck up my rune priests power, and i might.need him to take out some monstrous creatures (also why i gave him the stave, should i do axe insread.for the AP2?)
So yeah, any thoughts, comments, or ideas is very much appreciated.
Thank you, and have a nice day!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/686770/8575186.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/686770/8575186.page GMT
