pretre Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Okay, getting real close. Using your list: CAD Uriah Priest with Litanies 17 BSS with 2 Flamers 5 BSS with M/F in Repressor 5 Doms with 4 Melta in Repressor 5 Doms with 4 Melta in Repressor 5 Rets with 4 HF Exorcist Exorcist Allied Wolf Lord with SS/Black Death/TWM 5 BC with Stormwolf Drop Pod Iron Priest with TWM So 17 BSS, + Uriah + Priest + Wolf Lord + Iron Priest in blob BSS and 2 Doms in Repressors, with 2 Exorcists (so 5 AV13 on table) 1 Pod with Rets and 1 SW with BC in reserve. Obsec blob, obsec Repressor with BSS and Obsec SW with BC. I will probably lay out this one today on the display board and see how it looks. I am curious on people's thoughts on whether the Servitor thing is abusive and uncool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Why would it be either of those things? 'Cause not everyone thinks of things our way. Guess it is no worse than Pentyrant abuses of the little spore dudes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious on people's thoughts on whether the Servitor thing is abusive and uncool though. I kinda feel like there should be a way to take a second Stormwolf in there over the Iron Priest, although I guess he's not a bad addition. Hmm. Run CotGW, drop the Iron Priest and the Blood Claws, two naked Servitors to fill requirements, a TWC unit and two empty Stormwolves... you might have to drop the Priest with Litanies as well to make it fit, but it's possible. Ret unit could go inside a Stormwolf or could get swapped out for something else there, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to put a Ret in a Stormwolf because I'd have to drop into Hover to let them do anything. Also, bonus points for dirty looks: Uriah Priest with Litanies 15 BSS with 2 flamers 5 BSS 5 Doms with 4 melta in Repressor 5 Doms with 4 melta in Repressor 5 Rets with 4 Heavy Flamers Exorcist Exorcist CotGW Wolf Lord with SS/Krakenbone/TWM Stormwolf with TL-MM Stormwolf with TL-MM Drop Pod Servitor Servitor 1830 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I actually like how this one looks on the board: Uriah Priest with Litanies 15 BSS with 2 flamers 5 BSS 5 Doms with 4 melta in Repressor 5 Doms with 4 melta in Repressor 5 Rets with 4 Heavy Flamers Exorcist Exorcist CotGW Wolf Lord with SS/Krakenbone/TWM Stormwolf with TL-MM Stormwolf with TL-MM Drop Pod Servitor Servitor 1830 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah, that feels pretty solid. It's still gonna have the usual SoB problems, but you are at least bringing some significant melee support and AA to the table, which help a lot. I'm still not a fan of the Krakenbone Sword, tho. I'd go with Morkai's Claws for the extra attacks and Shred or PFist + Felclaw's Teeth for raw hitting power. Keep in mind that, as it stands, your list has no way of dealing with a Knight that assaults the blob- you'll just get ground down to nothing and/or Swept once the characters are dead. I would, at the very least, try to find 5pts for Meltabombs in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, at the very least, try to find 5pts for Meltabombs in there. I have a couple points to shuffle things around, so I can throw MB at the squad and/or swap out some wargear on the Lord. St Celestine is also an even swap for the 20 extra points, Uriah and the Litanies (since you don't need them if she's around). That gives hit and run and another 'reach out and touch them' character.

pretre Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 It's too bad that adding an iron priest turns servitors into no slots. I'd totally do one servitor and one Iron Priest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Okay, re: tinkering. CAD Uriah Priest with litanies 15 BSS with Flamer x2 and MB 5 BSS 4 Doms with 4 Melta and Repressor 4 Doms with 4 Melta and Repressor 5 Rets with 4 HF Exorcist Exorcist CotGW Wolf Lord with Morkai's Claws, Runic and TWM Stormwolf with TL-MM Stormwolf with TL-MM Drop Pod Servitor Servitor 1850 The sucky part is that I would have to paint a whole new wolf lord because Krakenbeard is only magnetized to swap his right arm. The left arm is shield and holding the chain, so not really an option to swap/magnetize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Also, keep in mind that Fellclaw's isn't super useful, since I already reroll all hits on the charge with Hatred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I can still ditch Runic, Litanies and Uriah to swap for Celestine too. That gives me an annoying ability to ignore Slay the Warlord, hit and run and another 2+ save. Uriah gives me another source of hatred and hymns, 5++ for the SOB in the unit, along with another faith act if the Lord isn't part of the squad.

pretre Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 You know, I'm starting to like your PF idea, AP, although I'd add a SS. I get rerolls on saves from the Priest, so even if I take a challenge (which I have to), I'm gonna survive it and maul whatever the F I'm up against. I am kinda thinking Thunderhammer for style points though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Examples: CAD Uriah Priest with Litanies of Faith 17 BSS with Flamer x2 and MB 5 BSS 4 Doms with 4 Melta and Repressor 4 Doms with 4 Melta and Repressor 5 Rets with 4 HF Exorcist Exorcist CotGW Wolf Lord with Power Fist and SS and TWM Stormwolf with TL-MM Stormwolf with TL-MM Drop Pod Servitor Servitor 1849 CAD St. Celestine Priest 15 BSS with Flamer x2 and MB 5 BSS 4 Doms with 4 Melta and Repressor 4 Doms with 4 Melta and Repressor 5 Rets with 4 HF Exorcist Exorcist CotGW Wolf Lord with TH and SS and TWM Stormwolf with TL-MM Stormwolf with TL-MM Drop Pod Servitor Servitor 1850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Thanks for all the help, btw, everyone (esp AP). Now I'm just down to wargear choices, which are easy. My process is weird and requires me to throw a lot of things at the wall until one resonates with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Still debating Uriah vs Celestine. Guess that's better than debating the whole list. I'm 100% Celestine except just one priest with no litanies makes me nervous on getting the power I need off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Current front runner: Uriah Priest with Litanies and MB 15 BSS with Flamer/Flamer/MB 5 BSS 5 Doms with 4 Melta in Repressor (Laud Hailer) 5 Doms with 4 Melta in Repressor 5 Rets with 4 HF, Veteran Superior (for LD9) Exorcist Exorcist Wolf Lord, PF/SS on TWM Stormwolf with TL-MMStormwolf with TL-MM Servitor Servitor Drop Pod 1850 Celestine version is the same but without the Litanies, Laud Hailer or Ret Sup.

pretre Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Okay, so quick question. What do people think about swapping the Wolf Lord for a WGBL? I lose 1WS, 1W, 1A, 1L. I get PE (Characters) for Challenges. It saves me 55 points and lets me swap out some stuff. Changes underlined. Keeps two priests with Litanies and gets me Celestine. Celestine Uriah Priest with MB (Litanies) Priest with MB 15 BSS with Flamer x2/MB 5 BSS 5 Doms with 4 Meltas in Repressor (Laud Hailer) 5 Doms with 4 Meltas in Repressor 5 Rets with 4 HF (Vet) Exorcist Exorcist WGBL (Wolf Lord) with PF/SS, TWM Stormwolf with TL-MM Stormwolf with TL-MM Servitor Servitor Drop Pod 1850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Alternatively, I could drop the WL to a WGBL and add 3 BSS and 2 Fenrisian Wolves to the blob. That doesn't seem as cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've found losing that fourth Wound really makes the WGBL sketchier over the course of the Game. On the other hand, if he's going to be re-rolling Saves, that changes the equation up in his favour again. The other stat changes haven't made a huge difference in my Games, so I'd really look at what you're expecting from him from a survivability standpoint most closely while evaluating the swap.

pretre Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yeah, I'm hoping he is survivable enough with Save rerolls. Getting Celestine helps me keep STW and gives me another 'reach out and touch' HQ, but loses some durability (the 5++ for the SOB) and counter-attack on the blob.

PourSpelur Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 What the thinking behind the 2 servitors? Cheap, stand here and score the home-base bodies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Still mulling it over though... What the thinking behind the 2 servitors?Cheap, stand here and score the home-base bodies? Minimum requirements for CotGW. One will be in a stormwolf, one in reserve or hidden somewhere to avoid first blood.\ I've also been thinking of trying to get the 5 BSS squad a Multi-Melta. Then I can put both Servs in the Stormwolves potentially and put the 5BSS in a ruin or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 So you have two squishy machine dudes that are vital to the army but relatively worthless in a fight, correct? If you don't model them up as the servitor versions of C-threepio and R2-D2 I'll be highly disappointed in you. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
