http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Greetings, DakkaDakka!

With the new rules for the Tempestus Scions release for their Start Collecting! Box, which allows a Commissar to call in a replace squad of Scions from his Formation, exactly the same as the original, when they die, I decided to make an 1850 ITC List utilizing two of these and a CAD.

Below you will see my lists, along with point values and upgrades, courtesy of Battlescribe.

General Idea is as follows:

4 4x Plasma Command Squads (Opted not to use the Plasma Pistols on the Tempestor, so that I can fit a 6th Scion Squad)
6x 2x Melta Suicide Squads
4 Tauroxes, all but one Camo Nets and all 4 having Missile Launchers.

I will aggressively deep strike the Hellrain squads, as they will respawn essentially every turn. Goal is to keep the Commissars alive in tauroxes that will keep as far away as possible, and keep objectives via other Scion squads as well as offering Beta Strike with the Melta Squadrons, and Command Squads.

C/C Welcome, thanks for reading!

Since you have a CAD, consider a cheap fortification with Comm relay for reserves.

Tell us how many total meltaguns, plasmaguns, autocannons etc. there are.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693980/8719522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693980/8719522.page GMT
Total Plasma: 16
Total Melta: 12

You're absolutely right with the charging of the Melta Hellrain squads. Since the Commissars recycle them immediately they're very useful to just die instantly -- I can't wait to test it out. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693980/8719701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693980/8719701.page GMT
I see that you have 7-man squads in the Formations, why not 5-man since they are suicide units? This could free you some points for the comm relay aegis line.

I would strongly suggest taking the two CAD tauroxes as dedicated transports for the scions squad. This gives you two more fast objective secure units.

Good luck, post some feedback if possible ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693980/8719743.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693980/8719743.page GMT
I will HAPPILY provide feedback! I just ordered 4 Start collecting kits, all the necessary bits, and 2 extra boxes of Scions. I'll have them all made up in a month or so.
