However, I don't have a solid idea on where to take my guys, other than perhaps MSU.

Would it be best to go deepstrike heavy? Spam Taurox Primes, or Valks? Keep them a small army and just use them as allies?

I put together a(unbound) list based off an idea that struck me, silly as it is, and I thought It be best to put something down, and figure out things from there.

Here's a list of models I currently have (Storm Trooper-wise).

Spoiler:
1x Tempestor w/Plas-pistol

6x Base Storm Troopers

3x Base Sgts.

4x Melta Gunners

2x Volly Gunners

3x Plasma Gunners

1x Medic

3x Commissars

1x Lord Commissar.

1x Turox Prime w/Gatling Gun, Volly Gun, Sweet Paint Job.

1x Valk/Vendetta

1x Inquisitor(I will stick him in any list really)

So, at least 4 small squads total right now.


Here's the list I came up with.

Codex: Militarum Tempestus Roster

Total Roster Cost: 1750

HQ: Militarum Tempestus Command Squad (5#, 160 pts)
-1 Militarum Tempestus Command Squad,
-- 4 Tempestus Scion, Plasma gun x3 + Medi-Pack
---1 Tempestor Prime, Plasma Pistol

Troops: Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad (5#, 90 pts)
-1 Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad,
-- 4 Tempestus Scion, Meltagun x2

Troops: Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad (5#, 90 pts)
-1 Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad,
-- 4 Tempestus Scion, Meltagun x2

Troops: Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad (5#, 90 pts)
-1 Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad,
-- 4 Tempestus Scion, Meltagun x2

Troops: Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad (5#, 90 pts)
-1 Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad,
-- 4 Tempestus Scion, Hot-shot Volley Gun x2

Troops: Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad (5#, 90 pts)
-1 Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad,

Troops: Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad (5#, 90 pts)
-1 Militarum Tempestus Scion Squad,

Allies: IG

Elite: Bullgryns (3#, 145 pts)


Elite: Bullgryns (3#, 145 pts)


Elite: Bullgryns (3#, 145 pts)


: Baneblade (1#, 525 pts)
1 Baneblade

My idea was marching small squads of Hot Shot Vollyguns behind Bullgryns who provide mobile cover, with the Baneblade pulling up the rear. I'd have the Melta gunners deep striking. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713614/9124004.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713614/9124004.page GMT [1750] - Storm Troopers - Operation Riot Buster
Can you share your thoughts on why you chose the Gauntlet/Slab over Maul/Brute?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713614/9126304.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713614/9126304.page GMT [1750] - Storm Troopers - Operation Riot Buster

I love this idea and am inspired. I want to stay pure Scions up to 1500 and then I'll need Allies. I was thinking Imperial Agents/Deathwatch, but an Ogryn Auxilia sounds way more fun.

I happen to have 3 with slabs, and when I saw them standing in front of my soldiers like riot police, the idea struck.

I was going to use them as mobile cover, (since they provide a cover save) blasting away with their gauntlets while my troopers popped shots around them.

So, it was mainly the aesthetics that lead to the creation of my list.

Also, I have a baneblade in my Storm Trooper's group(my own canon for this group), and I thought it would be awesome for pulling high powered fire from my foot guys. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713614/9126354.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713614/9126354.page GMT
