fluger Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Commissar Yarrick 130 Tank Commander with Vanquisher, Lascannon, 2 Multimeltas 252 Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Flamer, and Power Axe 72 Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Flamer, and Power Axe 72 Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Flamer, and Power Axe 72 Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Flamer, and Power Axe 72 Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Flamer, and Power Axe 72 Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Flamer, and Power Axe 72 Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Flamer, and Power Axe 72 20 Conscripts 60 5 Ogryns with Ripper Guns 150 Griffon with Heavy Bolter 78 Griffon with Heavy Bolter 78 Wyvern with Heavy Flamer 99 Wyvern with Heavy Flamer 99 Basilisk with Heavy Flamer 117 Basilisk with Heavy Flamer 117 Vulture with twin punisher gatling and heavy bolter 160 Ordo Xenos Inquisitor: Needle Pistol, Force Axe 73 Calllidus Assassin 80 1997 pts Its kinda of a themed list based on my own fluff of my army (its a PDF of a forgeworld that is under invasion from a Waagh (which happens to be my Ork army, natch)) so a few things are not ideal I think but it has enough teeth against both infantry and hard targets that it should do well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kremmet Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Needs more one-man squads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basilisk has better ap and the only common T value that s10 matters is t5. The 2d6 vs 2d6 discard the lowest is significant (about 1.5 hits), but the basilisk is cheaper and can fire every round. Getting 6 extra hits that are slightly worse against most targets in the for the first 4 rounds might be worth the 35 pts, but if it survives to round 5 or 6 or even 7 the basilisk will get more shots. To me it's a question of banking on alpha strike or longjevity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusldorf Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 35 minutes ago, fluger said: Huh? He's referring to the new FAQ that says you can take understrength units. Basically people are gonna have lots of brigade detachments with no downsides if they're playing with an itc style kill point mission. Re: the basilisk/manticore youre right that it comes down to longevity in most cases but I think the manticore also shines against a lot of otherwise hard-to-kill targets like terminators, thunder wolves, ogryns..just multi-wound low toughness stuff in general. It'll take you two or three turns to delete one of those with your basilisk where the manticore can do it in one. Same against targets with very high wounds like knights or other super heavies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yes, it was a joke about the new FAQ. How are you liking the infantry squads? I'm finding that they lack flash, but are still surprisingly solid given the threats otherwise in the list. I'm curious about how the Chimera-chassis tanks' performanc (gave them away years ago), but I'll have to deal with Russes for days and days....

fluger Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'm super limited in play time, but the few games theyve done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Very Flugerian list! Curious how the gun-Chimera chassis will do. Thinking Banewolf may be an underappreciated unit. Same issues as before with the dangerous, but short ranged, gun with more survivability to get into killing range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Banewolf could be good for sure. The whole fast attack section of the dex seems great now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
