AgentP Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I love this, thank you Jeremy! I really should have outsourced my list building to someone with more tactical sense than myself years ago. I think I could play this. Even I should be able to wrap my brain around "place ObSec pod here" as a strategy. The best thing is that I have almost all of these models, with the exception of some more drop pods. But a question, what do I do with the jump pack commander? Where does he go? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yeap, Company Master dont get [big bad swear word]ing bikes according to GW. To be fair, DA put all their bikers into one company, and they have a special character for the company master of that company. So, the company master being on a bike is a bit unfluffy.

AgentP Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 After an evaluation of models I own, plus a realistic painting timeline, what would you think of a modification such as this? Still competitive? Lions Blade Detachment Battle Demi Company Chaplain, bike 5x assualt squad, 2 flamers, sgt with comb flamer, drop pod 5x tac squad, melta, sgt with combi melta, drop pod 5x tac squad, melta, sgt with combi melta, drop pod 5x tac squad, melta, sgt with combi melta, drop pod 10x devastator squad, 2 GC, 2LC, drop pod Ravenwing Support 1x Darkshroud, assualt cannon 3x typhoon missile land speeders Dark Angel Allied Detachment Librarian, Lv2, Bike, Eye of the Unseen 6x Ravenwing Command Squad, apothecary, champion, ravenwing banner, 1 GL 5x scouts 1x Land Speeder Vengence, assault cannon So, with combat squading the devastators, I have 7 ObSec units, and 5 ObSec drop pods. Everything from the Lion's Blade fires overwatch at full BS, so they should be good at holding objectives. The bike unit runs around like a mini deathstar. The speeders run around shooting within the bubble of the darkshroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you drop a body or two from the devs to make the combi-melta sgt's regular meltagun special weapons in those tac squads? It would be frustrating to you roll up a miss on a single-shot weapon rather than knowing that it gets a second chance next turn. I know there are likely model limitations and all, but figured it was worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry, the tac squads each have one melta, plus the sgt with combi melta. I forgot to list them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 So question. I'm thinking of painting the sides of the bases a different color for each squad, to mark them. So one unit's base edge would be red, another blue, etc. If you saw that on the table, would you find that helpful, or garish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one unit's base edge would be red, another blue, etc. If you saw that on the table, would you find that helpful, or garish? I've seen that done (colored base edges) and generally find it breaks up the basing theme/aesthetic for an army; so not a great idea if you're running this as a tournament force where you're shooting for painting votes. Probably better to have shoulder-pad or knee squad level designations if possible; it (IMO) is better accepted as closer to an actual conventional badge/marker and doesn't interrupt the cohesive basing for the army as a whole. I have seen colored dots on bases used though at the rear of the model to mark squads that didn't cause any significant distraction form the army/basing, so that might work.

AgentP Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm doing squad markings in traditional codex manner, but it just seems like that isn't very obvious. I'll stick with it I suppose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'd write a squad name on their base. Alpha..Charlie...Bravo.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I second writing it on the bases (or using a label maker if you have one) as the squad names. Easy to see and differentiate, but not as jarring as different colored base edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 The Eye of the Unseen seems really expensive here, especially on a guy who looks to be Joining a Unit that already mostly has TL Weapons. Other than that, it looks pretty good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
