Seeing the complete whomping Straken can dish out in the new Nid v. Guard Batrep, I thought I'd take a stab at crafting a list using one of my favorite old-time army models: the forlorn Soviet charge.
The gist: Guardsmen run across the field, screaming, blasting as they go, while artillery rains down on the enemy, forcing them to keep their heads down until the Guardsmen hack them to pieces in CC.
The List
HQ:
Command Squad
Straken
3x Melta
Medic
Carapace
Master of the Fleet
Chimera
Extra Armour
Lord Commissar
Power Weapon
Carapace
Other:
4x Priest w/ Eviscerator (to be dispersed among the 4 20-man blobs)
Troops:
Platoon 1
Command
3x Flamer
Vox
Squad A
GL
Vox
Commissar
2x Power Weapon
Squad B
GL
Power Weapon
Squad C
Same as Squad A
Squad D
Same as Squad B
(Form them up so I have 2 20-man blobs, each with 3x Power Weapons, 2x GL, 1 Vox, and 1 Priest)
HW Squad, Mortars
HW Squad, Mortars
Platoon 2
Exactly the same as Platoon 1
Griffon Team Alpha
2x Griffons
Griffon Team Beta
2x Griffons
Kill Points: 19 (Can be 17 if I make 40-man blobs)
Scoring Units: 10
This isn't meant to be super-competitive, I just want to make people crap their pants at the sight of 90+ Guardsmen screaming across the table at them while shells burst around their positions. The Master of the Fleet is there to keep Outflankers, Deep Strikers, and other nonsense at bay for a while.
Thoughts?
