Vanilla SMurf's Anti GUNLINE/GEQ!! (1500)

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

Looking around at what I have available to me here is a list I've come up with just in case I ever find the tables turned against me and I am forced to take my marines up against my beloved Imperial Guard.


Captain + combi melta + relic blade=140

tac squad + melta gun + power fist + multi melta + drop pod=235

tac squad + flamer + heavy bolter + drop pod=205

x2 tac squad + missile launcher + flamer + rhino=410

dreadnought + assault cannon + drop pod=150

dreadnought + multi melta + drop pod=140

attack bike + multi melta=50

x2 whirlwinds=170

total 1500


Dreadnoughts come in first turn, captain hooks up with the squad holding the meltagun and powerfist. All tac squads divide, missile launchers cover the whirlwinds and the flamers move up in the rhino supported by the attack bike with multimelta(who is here to fill up that extra 50 points.)

Maybe one WW, but not two. Not a fan of combi-weapons, either. I feel like you need some jump packs.

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

Two whirlwinds means one will probably last long enough to actually get some shooting done...and the combi melta is really only for that first shooting phase after the drop pod makes landing. My assault marines tend to get plastered, and when I play IG I typically hit my opponent's assault marines with the ordnance right away.(really hard!)

[ElegaicRequiem]

That's why they should be put in a secluded spot to start the game, if they start on the field.

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

I haven't quite got the hang of it I guess.

what about something like this to bump the list to 2000?

chaplain + jumppack + powerfist 140

5 assault marines + powersword + plasma pistol + meltabomb=135

tac squad + lascannon + plasma gun + rhino=225

[ElegaicRequiem]

Chappie + assault marines = win. Don't know about the pfist on him, but I guess it depends what you're fighting. It would make an epic harassment unit.

And more tac squads are always good.
