Apocalypse Tactics useing mix Imperial forces.

[Deleted]

Well this is a tactical review of most of the legendary units that you can use n apocalypse and with a rating and stated option on them, either as IG or taking them as allies feel free to add or give options based of experience.

Space Marines 7-10/ 10
Ok i will get flack on this but space Marines are in my based option with apocalypse depend on how they are used. You get a partner that is does not know what he is doing you can put it Based ok skill level. But over all they are like a rapier not a hammer, use them like one.

Imperil Guard 9/10
Now i have look over the rules over and over and there is no were that it says you can only have five doctrines so you can take different companies or regiments and have them count as allies and do things like a company of grenadiers. Drop troops light infantry and cammo line cloaks with heavy weapon platoons . Find a nice fire base out of rubble or blown out buildings or anything else the terrain a large selection of non line of sight artillery, and the HOLY BANBLADE (if you have not notice I do love this tank I use in the group of three and if you put in large kill zone Emperor have pity on the enemy)!!!!! Over all you should in most cases you should 9/10 outnumber the enemy and turn this in to a numbers game of attrition I recommend looking up German shield and sword tactic.

Demon Hunters 6/10
Very good if you know you are fighting Demons and make for a very nice counter attack force but same problem as marines of point cost and numbers but if you know there is going to be demons feel free use them as a counter force.

Witch Hunters 7/10
Same thoughts as SM but lacking the long range heavy weapons punch Sisters of battle are stong in short to mid range.

Imperil navy 8/10
If you can get air superiority hell gives them hell. Some are better than others use at your own desecration. Personal preferences are instead of marauders use the Destroyer variant because you will at times will spend more time doing strafing runs after you run out of bomb or missiles.

Titans 7-10
If you can afford to own one more power to you what can I say you Rich son of a ______________! Best use to hunt other super heavy units. then armour.

you can only have five doctrines, its says so in our codex, on the page just to the right of the last chancers

[lordcastellenjon]

yup he right there as for your standers yeah good ideas but with the SM's or DH's I would recomend using a flank march and get them right on your enermies back or sidedoor

[Rolling Thunder]

Aaargh. Please use punctuation!!! Eyes.... bleeding.....ugh.

In all seriousness however, I feel that you have neglected a few points:

1: You may not have more than five doctrines. The exceptions to this are A) When using a named list such as the DkoK, Cadians or so on, where you use all the doctirnes and restricted troops under the regimental entry, or B) Where you utilise more than force selection chart, in which case you are in essence fielding two or more seperate entities that must be distictly seperate: i.e There paint schemes must be obviously different, and they may select the usual five doctrines (except inthe situation named above.)

Secondly, you have seriously underestimated the inquisition units. No offence to you, but this is a classic beginner mistake (actually, on hindisght, it's a classic "Hasn't played against a competent inqusition player" mistake).

There is a misunderstanding about the doctrines.

You can take more than five doctrines in Apoc, but only in a specific manner.

Which is what I beleive the original poster was trying to convey.

Using multiple regiments in the list for apoc you can achieve more than five doctrine points as each regiment will have up to five points to use. When dealing with an Apoc sized army this is very easy to do.

One regiment has drop troops, Close order drill, Chameoline, carapace, independent Commissar
one regiment has warrior weapons, conscripts, sharpshooter, Independent Commissar, Ogryn

Etc...

Legal in Apoc sized armies. Illegal in games that are not Apoc size.

Ssgtdude is right. That in the rules for Apoc Sized Armies is what I am trying to convey.

As for the Inquisition units (Demon Hunters and sisters of Battle Not Imperial guard being lead by an inquisitor) you are right Rolling Thunder you may be right in that one. (Second part) is there anything that you would like to point out about them.

As for Strategic Assets i was hoping to go through them another day.

I would suggest taking the disruptor beacon as one of your choices.

Depending on how large of a force you have going that is.

Otherwise you can also take on the some other things such as taking a look at the Laser Defense data sheet. It has an unlimited range. (Yes, Love it) Makes it easy to hit other targets. especially if you are playing against other stores at the same time.
