Another option for the possible future Space Sharks using the Blood Angels codex, this time as a primarily jump pack force.
It's very spammy, but could be fun. I could play around with the weapons in the assault squads to reduce the spamminess, but by their nature more extreme lists tend towards repetition.
1500:
HQ: Librarian, jump pack (lance, shield) (125)
(HQ) Honor Guard, jump packs, 2xflamers, lightning claw (190)
Troops: 10xAssault marines, 2xmeltaguns, powerfist (235)
Troops: 10xAssault marines, 2xmeltaguns, powerfist (235)
Troops: 10xAssault marines, 2xmeltaguns, powerfist (235)
Troops: 10xAssault marines, 2xmeltaguns (210)
Fast: Land Speeder, HB/Typhoon (90)
Fast: Land Speeder, HB/Typhoon (90)
Fast: Land Speeder, HB/Typhoon (90)
Libby runs with the PF-less squad. Jump around, assault stuff. Booyah. I think Dawn of War could be fun - deploy two assault squads and the honor guard, HG providing FNP for everyone, tie up enemy while rest of force zips up.
To 1850:
Add second Librarian, jump pack (125)
Add PF to sgt in 4th assault squad. (25)
Add Furioso, frag cannon/meltagun/dccw, magna grapple, extra armor, drop pod with locator beacon (200)
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks with music when coming up with ideas... Spam away. Looks fun.
ReplyDeletenice list but as an advocate of the jump list I have to say your going to need extra priests to keep those boys alive, consider dropping the last squad or some of the PFists and add in a jump priest or two and you can even give them the fists if you so prefer!
ReplyDeleteI suppose I could drop one speeder for a JP priest w/PW, or drop the Honor Guard for two priests.
ReplyDeleteThe HG just seem like a pretty good deal to me, and I'm surprised I don't see them in more lists. I'd much rather have the one-wound initiate buried in a squad (which is a pretty good squad too) vs. a two-wound IC that can be singled out in combat.
Hmmm, from a pure fluff perspective, I like the other list better. Looks strong though.
