Hi all,
I played in 4th, a little in 5th before deactivating. Now I'm back and my buddy and I have a 1000 pt game planned to kick things off.
He will be playing Ultramarines. I have no idea what list or strategy he will be pursuing. Terminators, assault marines, librarians, and chaplains could all make appearances.
Valkyrie Gunship
-10 Veterans,Grenadiers, 3XPlasma guns, sgt plasma pistol
-Lord Commissar, Carapace armor, "The Emperor's Benediction", power weapon
Valkyrie Gunship
-10 Veterans,Grenadiers, 3XPlasma guns, sgt plasma pistol
-Commissar,carapace armor, power sword, plasma pistol
Vendetta Gunship
-Enginseer, 2Xservo, 2Xmultimelta
-Level II Primaris Psy, Carapace armor(5)
1000 points on the nail. The genesis of this list comes from me having never use gunships before and since my friend has them now is my chance. I am worried about model count especially with so many plasma weapons fielded. I don't care about objectives but just want to destroy my opponent. The gunships will fly in and soften enemy targets then drop off the vets who will gun down everything in sight (because the emperor wills it). The Commissars beef up the squad and add a little close action but I have no illusions about the staying power of either of these squads. The Vendetta will target enemy vehicles, flyers, dreadnoughts and the like while dropping off the enginseer team to a good fire spot. I intend for the psyker to provide some defense to the enginseer squad but know very little about the psych powers available.
I appreciate all feed back! Should I stick with the sgt plasma pistols or spend thirty points somewhere else?
