.....don't be gentle - it's kinder in the long run.
I'm starting a 1500pt Pre-Heresy Army (modelling started, but don't know which chapter yet) and I would like all you toothless veterans out there to appraise and rip the cr*p out of my first thoughts on army composition.
Here goes (deep breath):
Traits:
Advantage: Honour Your Wargear
Drawback: Death Before Dishonour
HQ:
Codicier with Storm of the Emperor's Wrath, Force Weapon, Psychic Hood, Terminator Armour and Storm Shield (135pts).
Terminator Sergeant with Storm Bolter and Power Weapon.
2 x Terminators with Assault Cannon and Powerfist (please ignore fluff issues).
1 x Terminator with Storm Bolter and Powerfist (200pts).
Elite:
6 Devestators with 4 x Heavy Bolters and Infilrate (168pts).
6 Devestators with 2 x Missle Launchers, 2 x Multimeltas and Infiltrate (188pts).
Troops:
Veteran Sergeant with Powerfist and Boltpistol
7 x Marines
Rhino with Extra Armour and Smoke Launchers (208pts).
4 x Scouts with Sniper Rifles
1 x Scout with Heavy Bolter (90pts).
7 x Scouts with Boltguns
1 x Scout with Heavy Bolter (109pts).
Fast Attack:
Landspeeder Tornado (Heavy Bolter and Assault Cannon) (80pts).
Landspeeder Tornado (Heavy Bolter and Assault Cannon) (80pts).
6 x Assualt Marines (132pts).
Heavy Support:
Predator Destructor with Heavy Bolter Sponsons (110pts).
Total 1500pts.
I have considered how to play this force and it seems to me that the ability to infiltate give the Devestators a great advantage by deploying last and knowing where the key targets are in advance. This would form the main axis of defence.
The Scouts are there mainly as a 'speed bump' and to try and pin units with their sniper rifles.
The Tactical Marines and Predator are a kind of mobile reserve and can support either the left or right edge of the Devestators deployment area.
Command HQ can 'lay the smack down' on either the rear of the enemy lines - drawing off units from the main battle or along a threatened flank with the Assualt Marines in direct support.
Finally, the Landspeeders are there as a nuisence threat to both infantry and light vehicles, claiming objectives at the last minute.
What are people's thoughts????
Looking forward to your reply and remember.....don't be kind.
Cheers
