[Pretty Fly For A Conscript!]

[hiphopaddict]

[[ Yo Guys. I've Been Contimplating Doing An All Conscript Army For About A Year Now, But Now I Have An Opportunity To Finally Do It, As I Wrapped My Tau Off. So Before I Put Down Any Green I Was Wondering:

Whether Or Not Their An Effective Army On Average?
If Theres Anything I Should Know About Them? [Significant Drawbacks Etc.]
Should I Incorporate Tanks?
How Much Would A 1500p Army Cost Me In Average?
Are They Worth Doing?

Thanks For Reading And Any/All Replys. +This Is My First Ever Post On This Forum... So If Im Doing Or Have Done Anything Wrong, Keep That In Mind.

Later =] . ]]

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

You cant do an all conscript Army

Only Platoons

So you plan to have

One Commandy HQ
And then 2 Conscript Platoons?

[hiphopaddict]

[Well Yeah, The Idea Would Be That The Majority Of The Army Would Be Conscript Platoons! With The Command Hq Thing, And Maybe Some Tanks...]

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

Right, If your gonna take All Conscripts for your Infatry Choices, I recommend the Following in your army aswell

Doctrines:
Conscript Platoons
Indepndat Commissars

5 Commissars assigned to each Conscript Platoon
If you run out of Commissars
Then Priest but take no Heavy Weapons with Preists.

2 Fire Support Squads:
3 Heavy Bolters
3 Autocannons

2 Anti-Tank Support Squad:
3 LAscannons
3 Missile Launchers

1 Special Weapon Squad
3 Sniper Rifles

1 Harded Vet Squad
1 Ogryn Squad
1 Storm Trooper Squad

1 Hellhound
2 Sential Squads: 6 Sentinels

3 Leman Russ Battle Tanks.


If you want me to Draft you a Sample Army list, I can.

[hiphopaddict]

[[Oh Man! A Draft List Would Be Amazing!! Please Knock One Up? Thanks =] ]]

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

Im on it straight away.

And you do realise, you dont have to use it, and you dont have to follow ir, its just a to help you.

[hiphopaddict]

- Thank You!]

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

Slight Snag

"You may inculude up to one conscript platoon for each infantry platoon in your army"

I recommend making them basic guardsmen squads

For Example

Alpha Platoon - Squad Alpha Alpha
Sergeant
- Close Combat Weapon and Laspistol
9 Guardsmen
- [Heavy Weapon]
- [Special Weapon]
- Voxcaster

And thats it, for each squad. all the way down.

Have 2 Basic Infantry Platoons, 2 Conscript Platoons and One Armoured Fist Squad

[hiphopaddict]

[Ite! I Dont Own A Codex, But I Was Leafin Through One At My Gw Abit Ago. So I Think That We Could Jus Have An Infatary Platoon With 2 Squads, Then A Conscript Platoon With... 4 Or 5 [] Then We Basically Repeat That Yeah?

So It's Like A Ratio

2 Infantary Squads:4 Conscript Squads

It Could Work Like That Yeah?]

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

Well, for Each Infantry Platoon, you still need a Platoon Command, So it would be

1 Platoon Command and 2 Infantry Squads - 25 Men
5 Conscript Squads = One Conscript Platoon - 50 men + Assigned Commissar

[hiphopaddict]

[Ok, That'll Do Nicely. Please Base The Draft List Around That Idea, Thanks!]

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

This is an Infranty Heavy Army, and I made it as a Draft list for one of the board members

Notes:
I know I filled up all the Normal Infantry Platoon,s but since you need to take them, might aswell take them, gives you more fire power
and since this is a Troop Heavy Army, I left the Armoured Fist in the Garage and took a whole other Platoon.

The Leman russ are set up for Infantry Support, and the Sentinels are the same, I will also posts this in the Army list section with but ill fill out the Officer Weapons in there.

[hiphopaddict]

[Very Nice!! Thanks!! The Only Two Problems I Have Are:

1. I'm Not Keen On Ogryns
2. I'm Not Keen On Hellhounds

But Thats Nothing Major! I'm Going To My Gw Tomorow So I Might Pick Up A Codex And Tweek The Draft Slightly In Parts. Thanks Again For The List!]

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

It was just a rough list, if you decided to drop the Hellhound, Take another 3 Sentinals. and if you drop the Ogryns, take out the Doctrine for them, and take a Doctrine you want.

[hiphopaddict]

[Cool! Thanks For The Advice =]! ]

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

I like to help the new people.

Its all in a days work for me.

[Warmaster Stabwhiskers]

Yeah Right

[thefishki345]

lol, and hip hop man WHAT IS IT WIF THE [ ] IN YOUR SENTANCES! lol

but i would just like to point out that maybe you should buy the codex before you start deciding what type of army you want, thats what i did wrong lol.

but i think this would be a pretty good idea, it would be a funny sight seeing like hundreds of guardsmen on the table, deployment would take about 3 hours alone lol, but this could end up being quite expensive buying heaps of ig so maybe consider ebay or something.

[hiphopaddict]

[! I Bracket My Sentences Cause I Like It That Was >=]. Yeah I Was Thinking Of Ebay Actually!]

[thefishki345]

lol yeah, you should lol

[hiphopaddict]

[I'd Probs Have To Get About... 10ish Box's Of Guards Yeah?]

[Deleted]

not keen on hell hounds ? they are so much better than they used to be.They can survive hits now that would have crippled or destroyed one in he previous incarnation.The weapon is so much better now than it was; 24 inches with the template included,and it ignores cover saves...whats NOT to love about this wonderful tank ?

[24 Inches On A Tanks Main Weapon. I Dont Like That For One. Second It Takes Up Space That I'd [[[Rather]]] Take Up With Conscripts/Guardsmen. If I Want A Tank, I'd Take A Russ!]

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

Dude, A Hellhound is Fast Attack, You only get three choices for Fast Attack
Hellhounds
Rough riders
Sentinels

[fatuous]

Yeah but it is points he could be spending on more guys!!!!!

Man, I hope u like building and painting guards, this project will take u ages.

PS, I just got my helhound, painting it now and can't wait to start frying bses of nid swarms. Hmmmmmm
