fluger Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 So, a friend of mine is getting out of the hobby and gifted me a crap ton of IG tanks! Naturally, I had to come up with a cool list to play with it. Here's what I came up with! Armored Battle Group (CAD) 650 HQ: Leman Russ Vanquisher: 175 pts Beast Hunter Shells HQ: Leman Russ Vanquisher: 175 pts Beast Hunter Shells Troops: Leman Russ: 150 Troops: Leman Russ: 150 Emperor's Fist Formation 860 Tank Commander: LR Executioner: 215 Multimelta Sponsons, Lascannon LR Executioner: 185 Multimelta Sponsons, Lascannon Leman Russ Eradicator: 140 Multimelta Sponsons Leman Russ Eradicator: 140 Multimelta Sponsons Leman Russ Eradicator: 140 Multimelta Sponsons 1 Engineseer: 40 Emperor's Wrath Formation: 470 CCS: 85 + 65 Vox Caster, 2 Meltaguns Chimera Wyvern: 65 Wyvern: 65 Manticore: 170 1 Engineseer: 40 2000 pts If you're not familiar with the Armored Battle Group rules from FW, basically those Vanquishers have a single shot gun that causes instant death. Super helpful for bringing down MCs or GCs. The Leman Russes are just Troops and therefore Ob Sec, which is nice as they can sit back and snipe at range. The Tanks in the Emperor's Fist formation should all be BS4 (they have to be within 12" of the tank commander) and I can tuck the Engineseer in the Chimera and hide it behind the Tank Commander's unit so they get tougher. The Emperor's Wrath guys give me some nice ranged barrage fire to clear out infantry and such. Overall, I just love the feel of this list and I look forward to putting it together and putting it on the table! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Wouldn't GC's just take the d3 wounds or whatever? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Also, is this OFCC? I certainly don't think it is too hard a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Wouldn't GC's just take the d3 wounds or whatever? Yeah, but it still grinds them down faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Didn't PourSpelour try this list?In fairness my list writing skills involve telling Fluger what I have and him writing a good list. Then I take that good list and drive it into the dirt. Super interested in watching it get run by someone competent.I have more of the autocannon guys in my list and they just don't carry their weight when bought from the Armored Company list. They're a better choice from the Guard book because they're cheaper there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not nearly THAT bad, also, let's not go crazy, I'm not sure competent describes me at this point. Also, going outside of my comfort zone of hordes makes me feel all twitchy.

scottshoemaker Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'd so love to this with Orks. An unbound list of tanks of all sizes. Blood Axe Russians trying to emulate this: Fist of Gork Krumpin Company! (or maybe Mork) Maybe OFCC 2017... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd use the Armored Company list as a guideline, but none of the rules. Just some unbound ork vehicles. Maybe a beaten and bruised Guard tank commander chained to the Warboss as a "Mascot" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 If anyone could pull it off model-wise, it's you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Another benefit of this that I had forgotten about was that Engineseers hand out Power of the Machine spirit to vehicles within 12". That means I can split off lascannon or multimelta shots as needed to try and help deal with MSU type armies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm fairly certain that this is going to be my OFCC list at this juncture. The thought of fielding a non-horde is really appealing to me at this point and OFCC should afford me plenty of opportunities to face off against lists that either I wouldn't table or wouldn't table me in a few turns. (like, drop melta insta-wins against this, but I would probably ERASE an infantry horde) With that in mind, considering that this would almost certainly be a 3B, is this acceptable for an OFCC list to the majority of people? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Why do you find this list acceptable but a list with multiple Knights unacceptable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophecy Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Because it literally misses multiple phases in the game. It can only move and shoot. There are no psykers or close combat. He also has board control issues and its all or nothing in a more entertaining way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm not talking about my Daemon Summoning list. Any list with multiple knights. The HoG is allowing HH lists this year. I'd like to bring a Knight Household. Move and Shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.MoreTanks Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm not talking about my Daemon Summoning list. Any list with multiple knights. The HoG is allowing HH lists this year. I'd like to bring a Knight Household. Move and Shoot. And super assault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yeah the knights do not have the same weaknesses this list does. In combat they have armor 13 while the Lemans have 10 or 11 leaving the vulnerable to mass glance to death. The Knight continues to kill and rampage in combat...

fluger Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I mean, on the one hand, this list kicks out a truly reputable amount of firepower, well above and beyond what the knights are going to be able to do, but, yeah, not being able to really take assaults AT ALL is a big drawback. That being said, I truly think the only reason multi-knight units are frowned upon at OFCC is because of perception rather than efficacy. I said that last year as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 With Knights only: That objective is across the board, better walk over and claim it With tanks only: That objective is across the board, might as well be on the moon. I'm not immediately poo-pooing the all Knight list but it is a different beast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Got two wyverns put together. Need to put together 6 Leman Russes and convert a Leman Russ that is already built (gotta swap out the lascannon in the central sponson with a heavy bolter). As well I need to build a Manticore and a Chimera. In doing an inventory assessment, I realize I'm 2 Russes worth of Multimelta Sponsons short (total of 4) since the ones I was given are the old version that didn't have that as an option. Anyone got 4 multimelta sponsons they don't want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My IG are put away though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Looks like necrontyr has my back for the multimeltas. I'm going to tackle the Leman Russes tonight. Over the weekend I put together a Manticore and a Chimera. My build/paint list is now this. BUILT PAINTED Leman Russ Vanquisher Leman Russ Vanquisher (still needs to be converted to a Vanquisher) Leman Russ BT Leman Russ BT LR Executioner LR Executioner Leman Russ Eradicator Leman Russ Eradicator Leman Russ Eradicator 1 Engineseer CCS Chimera Wyvern Wyvern Manticore Engineseer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
