Alright lads and lasses! We are back from the OFCC event and it was a blast. You'll hear about it over the weekend though. I saw the big question of "Well what did you guys take there?" Well I am here to share:
Apostles of Contagion OFCC 2016 (Crimson Slaughter CAD) HQ (360) Chaos Lord 65 - Bike 20 - Sigil of Corruption 25 - Powerfist 25 - Lightning Claw 15 - Mark of Nurgle 15 - Blight Grenade 5 - Demonheart 30 200 Necrosius 160 Troops (511) Plague Marines 120 - Flamer 5 - Flamer 5 - Meltabomb 5 - Veterans of the Long War 5 + Rhino 35 + Dozer Blade 5 + Dirgecaster 5 185 Plague Marines 120 - Flamer 5 - Flamer 5 - Meltabomb 5 - Veterans of the Long War 5 + Rhino 35 + Dozer Blade 5 + Dirgecaster 5 185 Plague Zombies 30 Plague Zombies 30 Plague Zombies x27 81 Fast Attack (480) Chaos Spawn x5 150 -Mark of Nurgle 30 180 Blight Drone 150 Raptors 95 -Mark of Nurgle 15 -Meltagun x2 20 -Power Maul 15 -Meltabomb 5 150 Heavy Support (577) Obliterators x3 210 -Mark of Nurgle 18 -Veterans of the Long War 9 237 Relic Sicaran Battle Tank 135 -Sponson Lascannons 40 175 Rapier Weapons Battery x3 120 -Laser Destroyer 45 165 Fortification (70) Aegis Defense Line 50 -Comms Relay 20 70
Alright now for how the list functions. The rapiers and the Sicaran are usually deployed behind the aegis from the start so I can get put those long range anti tank guns to work. The chaos lord along with chaos spawn usually charge towards the scariest thing I can find and are a very tough distraction unit. Being T6 they are practically immune to small arms fire. I took the zombies because I needed cheap infantry to just fill out my ranks and using the one's from Imperial Armor: Seige of Vraks makes them pretty cost effective too. I found them only really good offensively against T3 infantry otherwise they just bog units down. For what I was using marine wise, plague marines are my best bet. They are marginally more pricey then Chaos Marines with Mark of Nurgle and get a second special weapon option with only 5 guys. I would have loved meltas but flamer ensures that none of their shots go to waste. Speaking of meltas that is why I took Obliterators and Raptors. I actually deep struck them every single game in a super aggressive manner just to have something to respond to my opponent's deployment and get that scalpel like accuracy to take out key targets. The blight drone is there to be a dangerous threat. Battle cannons in any way shape or form make most people sweat. Overall my list has proven to be very tough against most opponents. The superfriends list is bad news for me along with armies that pack a large amount of S6 shooting. Now that OFCC is said and done I will be actually making improvements to this list. We'll see how it goes.
