PourSpelur Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Looking at all the cool Marines in the Calth box had me thinking about using them as Legion of the Damned. Painted up ghostly instead of the traditional fire and skulls scheme. What would a solid 2k list leaning heavily on the LotD look like? Thinking maybe Inquisition for the dudes on the ground with spectral allies dropping in everywhere but I'm open to suggestions. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Maybe IG + them? You want something resilient to be on the ground before they start showing up. I know you did up your Tanks as nurgly, but even a tank-heavy armored company list might work in conjunction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Nurgley LotD.... I could do that! That's not an invulnerable save, the bullets just punched through dead rotting organs. Mutated tanks and undead Marines, I can get behind that. Having an aspect that drops in could help with the slower nature of that list too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IW Raptors Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I guess the obvious anwser would be SM CAD with a HQ that combos well with them (Vulcan, Tiggy, Lias Issodon), 3 from the elite section and some cheap, mobile scoring via scouts etc. Then a detachment of LOTD from their own book. Throw in a INQ detachment for some servo skulls or I imagine, a skyhammer and their pinning ability, combined with that Relic the LOTD can take, that gives a squad FNP and kills an enemy modal + increases their FNP for every failed LD test within 12 or something of them. Although I guess a canny opponent would just elect to go to ground most of the time and accept the pin so maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Space Marines are probably the smarter answer but...I'm not a fan of Marines;) That's what drew me to the LotD. In my opinion they're what Marines should look like. How's Steel Host plus LotD sound? Lots of tanks with soopa marines dropping into the enemy backfield or protecting the tanks. What points ratio should I be shooting for? 1400 tanks/ 600 Death Marines sound about right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
