Traktor Cannons and Kitt bashed Mek Gun variants... 

I'd love to see a conversion where the Traktor Cannon lauched tractors...maybe a giant slingshot with one of those ork buggies on it painted in john deer colors.

So we’re definitely going to kick off with 750 Points? 

Need to figure out which of my squads is brave enough to risk being spray primer’d in December.

I'm with you here, i'm afraid i'll get all my guys ready for priming, but have no guts to prime in the COLD and bad humidity temps...

[Dark Trainer]

So, let me post this up for consideration. I haven't really followed the recent chapter approved, but assuming those models with rules would be fine for the league. Not sure about the tournament at the end, that'll probably follow an ITC format.

 

Thoughts?

Dont make me 3d print a catapult with snotling sized traktors with snotling inside... Because it would be a ton of work... And be hilarious

I have found as long as the can of primer is warm enough the model temp matters little. Just don't go to Mt hood and prime

My big issue is that I cannot use rattle cans indoors. The propellants aggravate the asthma of my spouse... They’re taking the kids to Vegas for a three-day mini-vacation after Christmas. I should be able to cobble together a makeshift “spray booth” in the basement using some cardboard boxes.

Fair. I do airbrush primer when I need to do fine details or can't go outside. Otherwise, I keep the can warm and prime on a sunny day or at least slightly cloudy. This last Tuesday was perfect here in Portland

I’m considering the following. It’s a pretty straightforward Astartes Gun Line... But that’s kind of what the Imperial Fists do best.

++ Battalion Detachment ++Chapter Selection (Imperial Fists)Relics of the Chapter (– 1 CP)

+ HQ +

Primaris Captain [92pts]: Plasma pistol, Power fist, Storm of Fire, The Armour Indomitus, Warlord

Primaris Lieutenant [74pts] Power sword

Intercessor Squad [179pts]: 10x; Two Auxiliary Grenade Launchers, Bolt rifle; Sergeant w/ Power fist

Intercessor Squad [85pts]: 5x; One Auxiliary Grenade Launcher, Stalker Bolt Rifles; Sergeant w/ Chainsword

+ Elites +

Primaris Ancient [69pts]: Standard of the Emperor Ascendant

Redemptor Dreadnought [161pts]: 2x Storm Bolters, Heavy Onslaught Gatling Cannon, Icarus Rocket Pod, Onslaught Gatling Cannon

++ Total: [46 PL, 750pts, 7 CP] ++

 

[Lyraeus]

Stupid redemptor Dread... I forgot it's feasible to take those at this points level... I am not sure if my orks would survive against that. 

[Sgt. Rock]

Do we have an idea on when exactly this is going to kick off? It might affect what I bring.

Sounds like January 8th so 3 Tuesday from today

[Sgt. Rock]

Egads... that's not a lot of time to start painting. I may have to field the first week's worth unpainted... I would claim to be ashamed, but anyone who knows me knows that unprimed models is kind of my normal modus operandi.

[Kelharis]

If I were to somehow be able to play, pretty much deploy right in your grill, or on top of an objective.

The walking bullet hose an especially nasty choice against Orks, I will admit. OTOH, it won’t be so great once we get into higher point values and more anti-tank weapons start showing up. The Redemptor is T 7, 3+, and only has thirteen Wounds, with no Invulnerable Save, so isn’t all that durable.

Edit to Add: See that Tau list? That’ll slag my Dreadnought in two turns, tops. Could probably do it in one if the Dice Gods favor him.

Dont make me switch to tankbustas and lootas! I can do it! 

[Ish]

I figure they’ll show up in your 1,000 or 1,500 Points list. Along with a Da Jump’ing Warboss Mega-Nob Powerklaw Smashkaptain.

But, really, the Redemptor only has three Wounds more than a Rhino. They have the same Toughness and Save... and ain’t nobody worried about being able to hurt a Rhino. The guns on the Redemptor are scary, but he’s pretty much a giant yellow DISTRACTION CARNIFEX.

Pshhhh distraction... I will just shoot everything off the board and let grots take the hits 😛

This list is funny as it drops a PL but is a very dangerous list

Yeah.  Apparently I'm good at making lists that are either very underpowered or overpowered? I was kind of thinking the list wasn't too bad, due to the shortage of CP and model count, but maybe at this low point value those are dwarfed by the sheer amount of dakka in the list?

I kinda have no idea what I'm doing

Still scares me into wanting to bring Loota Hell....

Hey, I could make it worse. I could drop the Boyz add in 14 grots, swap the traktors with KMB for 2x heavy D6 S8 AP-3 Dm6 Kannons.... 

Oh yea, hits of 6 generate more attacks 😛

 

Oh and they hit on 4's normally 

[Ish]

I could swap out the Redemptor Dreadnought for a six-strong Aggressor Squad: 36+6d6 S 4 AP 0 D1 shots, hitting on a 3+ and ignoring cover... Possibly 72+12d6 shots, the wording in the codex is kinda vague, since GW doesn’t understand how pluralization works.

Oh and they “double tap” if they didn’t move.

Shhhhh! Stop giving them ideas!

Lol. Not a very nice list. Makes Lord of War selections seem downright reasonable...
