pretre Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 The tank commander one is really nice too. Again, I could see taking the Leman Russ formation outside of the Decurion paired with a CAD. New Tank Formation with Relic, tank Commander Pask, Artillery Formation. Muahahaha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 8 Leman Russes and some ordnance to back it up could be pretty neat. Especially when the ordnance can get ignores cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Pask in Punisher with Punisher buddy (HB sponsons on both): 390 Tank Commander with Relic in Executioner with Executioner buddy (MM sponsons): 390 3x2 Units of Eradicators with MM Sponsons: 280x3 Engineseer: 40 1660 CCS: 70 + 65 Order Relic Chimera Wyvern: 65 Wyvern: 65 Manticore: 170 Hmmm, comes to 2095 pts. Not quite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hmmm, the wyverns aren't gaining much from orders (only the pinning one would help them), perhaps subbing out Pask, mashing the two wyverns together and getting a brace of Basilisks? Tank Commander with Relic in Executioner with Executioner buddy (MM sponsons): 390 3x2 Units of Eradicators with MM Sponsons: 280x3 Engineseer: 40 1660 CCS: 70 + 65 Order Relic Chimera 2x Wyverns: 130 2x Basilisks: 250 Manticore: 170 1955 pts Some wiggle room there to either take it down to 1850 or back up to 2k. Not a list that's going to be dominating any tournament scenes, but it could be pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I guess that's my problem with the IG formations. They are all so expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm not taking the decurion, just those two formations seperately. Why include it in the decurion? It doesn't bring anything to the table really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterman Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Extra order and 3 dice. Extra order wouldn't apply to a tank commander IIRC, Company Commander is a specific model in the CCS. Could be mistaken though. The 3 dice thing probably works on the tank commander, depends on the definition of officer in the IG book. Definitely works in the arty CCS. Yeah, not sure that is worth trying to get the points for the additional tank commander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 It does apply to the CCS attached to the artillery though. But that's where the 10 pt relic of only fail on box cars comes in. No need for 3d6 ld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Regardless, I don't think that list is really great or anything, but it sure could be a fun way to play an all tank list. I could easily see Pask and buddies plus maxed out Leman Russ formation getting up into 1850 territory. It could potentially be really problematic for, say, Tau who I trolled with my two Leman Russes since they were relying on S7 for the most part. Though, I think you'd have to go for more AP2 shooting. Dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Just watch out for the Optimized Stealth Cadres. Always hits Rear Armour is a real killer for Russes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Good point, but I can see wiping them out as a priority target with all the shooting this list brings. Outside of their one time defense thing, their big benefit is good cover. Lots of the shooting of this list ignores cover and has decently high strength to cause a lot of wounds that that 3+ save can't keep up with forever. And, again, I don't think this list is a game changer for the tournament scene, but it certainly adds a breath of fresh air to the IG dex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Wow, makes the tanks basically venerable! That's crazy. This is really neat. Venerable is rather nerfed since you became able to glance vehicles to death. Still useful, but hardly the same thing it was in 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
