I was thinking about a list earlier that would have the advantage of incorporating the things I've actually already finished painting for the Endless Ones already, namely a Land Raider, a Defiler, and a Predator. So there's going to be some AV.
Since I'm taking a Land Raider, may as well take some terminators to go with it. I've had unpainted sorcerer figures for over a decade, so want to actually get to use at least one. He should be mobile, so jump pack or bike, and should have an escort. Since so much is already mobile now, more should be too, so CSM will probably want rides themselves.
So:
2000pts CSM Endless Ones
HQ
Sorcerer, level 3, jump pack, melta bombs, sigil of corruption, spell familiar
(170)
Troops
10xCultists, flamer
(55)
Troops
10xCSM, +ccw, 2xplasma guns, Rhino
(225)
Troops
10xCSM, +ccw, 2xplasma guns, Rhino
(225)
Might drop the rhinos and just add a few bodies and have them run up, but following the LR up the field the rhinos might be fairly safe.
Elite
5xTerminators - chainfist/combibolter, 2xpower maul/combi-melta, powerfist/heavy flamer, champion power axe/combibolter
+ dedicated transport Land Raider w/havoc launcher, dirge casters
(443)
Fast Attack
12xRaptors, 2xflamers, champion meltabombs, power sword
(244)
Escort for sorcerer and assault unit. Might trade for 8 Warp Talons, which sounds better?
Heavy Support
7xHavocs, 2xautocannon, 2xML with flakk
(171)
Fortification
Bastion with quad-gun
(125)
1998 total. Easy drop to 1500 by removing termies/LR and cultists.
It looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know how the warp talons work but the raptors will be able to shoot.
What is the cultists role? objective sitter or manning the bastion? or do you plan to put the Havocs in the bastion?

Warp Talons all have twin lightning claws and have a 5+ inv.
ReplyDeleteCultists and havocs will probably start in bastion; let the cultists man the gun with havocs inside to be able to shoot two flyers each turn if needed.
