This is the army i'm planning on taking to a tourney at the end of this month, trying to make it powerful yet have obvious flaws, after all, it's the Australian 40k scene and people like to whine.
HQ:
I use Daemon princes for mobile scoring units that can dish out some pain in close combat. Lash will help get units like the berserkers into combat, plus a variety of other roles to irritate people. The mark of Nurgle is to be nice to people and not take a 2nd lash, plus a t6 monstrous creature is a tough creature to take down, will likely spend most of the game involved in close combat or used as a line of sight blocker for scoring units if theres things like battlecannons on the field.
Daemon Prince w wings, mark of Slaanesh and Lash of submission
Daemon Prince w wings, mark of Nurgle and doombolt.
Elites:
Terminators are there as a strike force/flanking unit. I'll be deepstriking them in nearly every game, generally to hold a flank up and sometimes to take an objective.
6 man Terminator squad w Reaper Autocannon, Icon of Slaanesh, 1 champion, 1 chainfist.
Troops:
Trying to have a Breach force type theme, large squads with mainly close range weaponry and icons of khorne for the sheer brutality. Each squad is capable of counter attacking on its own and should be able to dish out quite some damage.
12 man squad of Marines w Icon of Khorne, lascannon, plasma gun.
12 man squad of Marines w Icon of Khorne, 2 * plasma guns, Asp champ with powerfist
8 man squad of Berserkers w Asp champ with Powerfist.
Heavy Support:
Heavy support in the new dex, so many choices so little slots :/. I've been using this combination for a while now am i'm quite a fan.
3 man squad of Obliterators
Predator with Autocannon, Heavy bolter sponsons and extra armour.
Predator with Autocannon, Heavy bolter sponsons and extra armour.
Total comes to 1748 points.
Any thoughts ?
