Which list sounds more Ordo Sepulturum (Inq. Zombie Hunters)

[Captain Zapp Brannigan]

G'day Guys,

In a couple of months time I'm going to be moving to London for work and have decided not to take over my current IG army

Instead, I'm going to start my Ordo Sepulturum force which will be a collection of Inquisitorial warbands and a seconded IG force.

I'm really looking forward to the kit bashing the inquisitors and their henchmen but at the moment I'm trying to plan a 2000pt IG army. I intend this to be a fluffy force that is geared towards fighting zombie hordes but with some capacity to still knock over a daemon prince or a couple of ogryns and plague marines.

At the moment I am tossing up two lists:

List A: This force will need to be split into two detachments but doesn't really matter as Inquisition can join anyone and doesn't count as a detachment

-Company Command Squad: Death Mask, Power Sword, Bolt Pistol, Carapace Armour, 2xMelta, 1xHeavy Flamer, Astropath, Heavy Stubber, Dozer Blade, Autocannon Turret
-Company Command Squad: Lascannon, Camo Cloaks, Master of Ordnance
-Primarius Psyker: Level II
-Primarius Psyker:
-Primarius Psyker:
-Engineseer: Servitor
-Priest
-Commissar

-Platoon Command Squad: Power Sword, 4xFlamers, Chimera, Storm Bolter
-20xGuardsmen (blob): 2xPower Swords, 2xBolt Pistols, 2xFlamers
-10xVeterans: Lascannon, Camo Cloaks, 3xSnipers, Bolter
-10xVeterans: 3xMelta, Carapace Armour, shotguns, Chimera
-10xVeterans: 3xPlasma, Carapace Armour, Chimera, Autocannon Turret

-Hellhound: Heavy Stubber
-Hellhound: Heavy Stubber
-2xScout Sentinels: Heavy Flamer
-Armoured Sentinel: Lascannon

Executioner: Plasma Sponsons
Wyvern

List B) I feel this list lacks enough anti-armour and anti-TEQ

-Company Command Squad: Death Mask, Power Sword, Bolt Pistol, Carapace Armour, 2xMelta, 1xHeavy Flamer, Astropath, Heavy Stubber, Dozer Blade, Autocannon Turret
-Company Command Squad: Lascannon, Camo Cloaks, Master of Ordnance
-Primarius Psyker:
-Primarius Psyker:
-Priest
-Commissar

-Platoon Command Squad: Power Sword, Bolt Pistol, 4xFlamers, Chimera, Storm Bolter
-20xGuardsmen (blob): 2xPower Swords, 2xBolt Pistols, 2xFlamers
-10xVeterans: 3xFlamers, Carapace Armour, Shotguns, Chimera,
-10xVeterans: 3xMelta, Carapace Armour, Bolt Pistol, Shotguns, Chimera, Autocannon Turret
-10xVeterans: 3xPlasma, Carapace Armour, Chimera, Autocannon Turret

-Hellhound: Heavy Stubber
-Hellhound: Heavy Stubber
-Armoured Sentinel: Lascannon

-Punisher: Heavy Bolter Sponsons
-Punisher: Heavy Bolter Sponsons
-Wyvern


Thoughts?

Well I'm first up...

Ignoring game play for now... I think for an army with a good theme you should gear up first for the look.

As you say, one lost lacks anti armour, not much of a problem as Zombis don't usually drive tanks (or can they?)

Flamers, I'd go flamer heavy to burn the unclean!!! So hellhounds are a good call.

What models are you thinking of? steel legion would be good as they are all masked up to stop them getting infected! This could lead you for weapon choices.

Legion have grenade launchers and plasma guns for special. Both good at tackling the dead!

Heavy weapons, Heavy Bolter, for suppressing the hords! Missile launcher, perfect!!! Good for blowing holes in masses of the living dead and can take out tanks/flyers.

Finally you have Lascannon. Not really the Zombi killer, but easy converted into Autocannon, good for anti Hord and light tanks/transports. (Please see my thread in pictures section for that conversion)

What about conscripts ? Using empire militia? Flaming torches, blunderbusses and such, a few lasguns and the odd pitch folk! Perfect for locals roused into helping against the zombies who have plaged there lands for too long!!

So a sister of battle squad would fit in well and act for your elite unit?

Perhaps confessors/preachers ?

Hope this helps
