Water Warrior 2000pts 5th edition *REVISITED*
Ok, so with my prior knowledge of water warrior, and well, giving it some thought and some hard work trying to come up with new ideas, I discovered a few things here that Might be worth looking at with a water warriors list. HQ: Brother-Captain w/ Incinerator + Holocaust ELITE: Inquisitor w/ Incinerator + Holocaust
-3x warriors w/Flamer
-2x Acolyte w/Storm Bolter
-Familiar TRANSPORT: Land Raider w/Smoke + EA Inquisitor w/ Incinerator + Holocaust Inquisitor w/ Incinerator + Holocaust TROOPS: 9x IST w/2 Flamers 8x PAGK w/2 Incinerator + Melta Bomb on Justicar 8x PAGK w/2 Incinerator + Melta Bomb on Justicar HEAVY SUPPORT: 3x Land Raider w/Smoke + EA
So that is about 2000 points. Maybe 10 points left over, Not sure.
The idea is same as the water warrior. You play defensively. Killing mostly all of the Anti-armour first. Proceeded by killing the troop choices of the opponent so they cannot gain any benefits form capturing terrain.
Being that you have 4 pie plates and 13 flamers, plus 8 twin-linked Lascannons, and 4 heavy bolters, short work of Infantry heavy armies is reasonable to think about. And 8 twin-linked lascannons? That should be an almost average of 2 vehicles going down a turn. If you get first turn and deploy properly, you can shut down all of their anti-armour turn 2 without loosing a Land Raider.
But anyways, applying the same princaples of the water warrior list, everything starts in a Land raider. With the boost to tanks and pie plates/templates, the water warrior list definatly gets a HUGE boost.
Anyways, what do you guys think? Do we finally have a list that is starting to get pretty competitive? Does the water warrior list start to look a little stronger? Maybe more mainstream?
