Death Korps Artillery Company (2500pts)

[Deleted]

Here's a list i'm building. It started as a 1500pt list.. then ballooned out to 2k, then 2500 xD. Going for a sort of quasi-Afrika Korps theme(same colors). See if you recognise any officer names ;p And yes, I'm totally insane and all the models are FW dkok minis.

I decided to make this list to play with 3 buds of mine in an uber 10k points coallition for apocalypse, but I made it so it's playable on my own too. Anyway, the list!

so, obviously my role in a huge apocalype force is to stay well back and shell the living bejeezus out of stuff, while sending in some footsloggers and faster gents to support my allies(Eldar, grey knights and a light infantry guard army).

On my own, all my units fill 3 possible roles: Fire support, Distraction, Counterattack. I figure I have enough annoying buggers that few people would rush my line, but even if they did, the snipers, assassin and deepstriking stormies will make them wish they hadn't. And in the alarming event of getting totally overrun, my Inq lord, roughriders and command squads are equipped to counter assault fairly well.
This list has fought extremely well thus far against eldar, other guard, and a smurf army. But I haven't had TOO much experience with it yet.

Thoughts? first post ;p

Welcome fancy pants, correct me if I am wrong, but if you take any inquisitorial support you aren't allowed to field any Heavy support. Like I say, I might be wrong.

I think you have spread out the special weapons a bit too much, for example:

"EinsatzKommandos Gruppe 5 –140pts
Storm trooper squad
Obersturmführer Karl Wolff, Power sword, melta bombs.
9 storm troopers, grenade launcher, flamer, deep strike."

I woudn't combine flamers and Grenade launchers in the same squad. Because G. launchers are best used at medium range, flamers are best used at close proximity to the enemy. No matter how you use this squad one of the special weapons will be wasted. If I were you I would stick to one type of weapon per squad. If you had a Grenadier squad equipped with two 'nade launchers for example, the squad would be able to specialise in one battlefield role.

Anyway, hope that helps! and welcome again

Thanks I only have a flamer/grenlauncher in that squad because thats what comes in the FW DK squad, I'm going to convert the flamer to either a 2nd gren or a plasma though.

Oh and if you take witch hunter allies you can't take any WITCH HUNTER heavy support, you can still have heavies from your original list :] so no pentitent engines etc. Thanks for the welcome :]

Cheers :] Seeing as my direct ancestry is mostly austrian jews (guess how well THEY faired in ww2), I have no trepidation at all using the names of actual nazis hehe.
