Silly Idea for Space Marines

[WarHammerman]

Hey all.

Had this idea while staying up too late - and fooled around in Army Builder, and this list popped out.

Long Ranged Death.

2500/2500

HQ

Armenneus Valthex
(Warlord)

Elite
x3 Contemptor Pattern Dreads
w/ Dreadnought CCW w/ Graviton Gun

Troops
x4 Scout Squads

Heavy
x3 Diemos Pread Executioners
w/ Conversion Beamer & Lascannons
(one has Chronos)

Fortification

[WarHammerman]

So, here is an updated version of this idea.

x2 Scout Squad
x8 Sniper Rifles, x1 Heavy Bolter w/ Hellfire
+ Sarge w/ Bolt Pistol & Combi Meltagun

Deimos Predator Executioner
w/ Heavy Conversion Beamer, Lascannon Side Sponsons, Extra Armor
+ Brother-Sergant Chronos

Fortress of Redemption
w/ Icarus Lascannon, Missile Silo w/ Krackstorm Missiles, & x2 Heavy Bolter Emplacements

[Seirin]

Conversion beamers suffer one key flaw; its easy to get within 'safe' distance, and 90% of any game will be played at that distance.

With that in mind...the pred executioner, keep the plasma cannon.

Fun idea..dunno how effective it'd be though.

[WarHammerman]

Love to see this game played "Hammerhead" or "long table" deployment. It would wreck face.


Also, that's why I went w/ sniper rifles - to cover that "Safe" Distance.

[Seirin]

Your fire power will be somewhat comparable to mech guard, but limited to likely just the first turn. After that, most opponents will be within the second distance boundary and beamers will start to lose their umph.

So, here is an updated version of this idea.

Primary Detachment
Master of the Forge (Warlord)
W/ Conversion Beamer, Bike

x2 Scout Squad
x8 Sniper Rifles, x1 Heavy Bolter w/ Hellfire
+ Sarge w/ Bolt Pistol & Combi Meltagun

x3 Contemptor Pattern Dread
w/ DCCW + Graviton Gun, Heavy Conversion Beamer, Cyclone Missile Launcher, Targeting Augury & Extra Armor

Hyperios Air Defense Battery
w/ 4 platforms

Secondary Detachment
Master of the Forge
w/ Conversion Beamer, Bike

x2 Scout Squad
x8 Sniper Rifles, x1 Heavy Bolter w/ Hellfire
+ Sarge w/ Bolt Pistol & Combi Meltagun

Deimos Predator Executioner
w/ Heavy Conversion Beamer, Lascannon Side Sponsons, Extra Armor
+ Brother-Sergant Chronos

Fortress of Redemption
w/ Icarus Lascannon, Missile Silo w/ Krackstorm Missiles, & x2 Heavy Bolter Emplacements
I like your list and to help you out I would take two thunder fire cannons to slow them down with the tremor shot if you have the points to spare

[WarHammerman]

I could drop the combi-meltas from the scout sarge's.- that would free up some points for 1 TFC.
Or, if I really wanted to drop points I could loose Chronos and the Targeting Augury from the contemptors.... that puts them all at BS4 instead of 5, but....That's an idea.

[Pendragon38]

Yeah for a 100 pts per TFC it will play havc on fast armys like DE and BA. And if you go first the better the chances of slowing them down and find cover for the rest of there army.

[WarHammerman]

Then how does this sound:

2485 / 2500

x2 Master of the Forge: On Bike w/ Conversion Beamer (one is Warlord)

x4 Scouts - x9 Sniper Rifles, x1 Heavy Bolter

x3 Contemptor Dreads: DCCW+Heavy Bolter, Heavy Conversion Beamer, Cyclone Misssiles, Extra Armour

x1 Predator Executioner: Heavy Conversion Beamer, Lascannon Sponsons, Extra Armour

x1 Fortress of Redemption: x4 Heavy Bolters, Krakstorm Missile Silo, Icarus Lascannon

x1 Hyperious Air Defense: x4 Platforms

x2 Thunderfire Cannons

[Pendragon38]

Then how does this sound:

2485 / 2500

x2 Master of the Forge: On Bike w/ Conversion Beamer (one is Warlord) (put one one a bike the other with the quad gun and D line)

x4 Scouts - x9 Sniper Rifles, x1 Heavy Bolter

x3 Contemptor Dreads: DCCW+Heavy Bolter, Heavy Conversion Beamer, Cyclone Misssiles, Extra Armour

x1 Predator Executioner: Heavy Conversion Beamer, Lascannon Sponsons, Extra Armour

x1 Fortress of Redemption: x4 Heavy Bolters, Krakstorm Missile Silo, Icarus Lascannon

x1 Hyperious Air Defense: x4 Platforms(or 2-3 stormtalons and a defense line with a quad gun. stick one of your MotF with it and a squad of scouts. a bs5 with a quad gun is nice)

x2 Thunderfire Cannons (stick them on top of the tower of Fortress of Redemption, for better field of fire)

This is a sound list with what you, I've add other Possibility to your list so tell me what you think

[WarHammerman]

The Air Defense is only 110 points. Can't afford all that you're suggesting when I drop them.

Oh sorry about that, I thought they were more than that.
