Hey all, Over the Top, Hamilton NZ's annual GW tournament was on the weekend and I entered it for the second time. It was a fun weekend with 6 games against 6 different opponents of similar skill - or lack thereof - to me. You see, I came 29th. In other, larger countries, that sounds pretty good, right?
No. There were 30 40K players in the tournament. Ergo, I came second to last.
T'was still fun, but I'd like to do better next time around. So I made my first ever new Year's Resolution on the eve of the 14th of February:
I SHALL CONCTRUCT A DECENT, COMPETITIVE LIST!
So here I am. My current army list is still theoretical but is relatively straight forward.
Outflank Marines. Mechanised Outflank Marines.
I learnt the power of outflanking armies in my first game of the weekend where I was drawn up against an army containing 3 Vendettas and 6 Valkyries.
Inspiration flowing through my veins, I turned to the Codex Astartes. The strike force I currently have in mind is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1750 points
HQ
Kor'sarro Khan
Elites
5 Assault Terminators in a dedicated Land Raider with Extra Armour
Troops
Tactical Squad with Meltagun and Missile Launcher and a Sarge with Powerfist, mounted in a Rhino with HKM
Tactical Squad with Flamer and Missile Launcher and a Sarge with Meltabombs, mounted in a Rhino with HKM
Ditto
Fast Attack
5 Vanguard Veterans with 2 Power Weapons and a Sarge with 2 Lightning Claws, mounted in a Razorback with Twin-Linked Lascannons and Extra Armour
4 Bikes including a Meltagun, a Multi-melta Attack Bike and Sarge with Meltabombs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Moving on, for these Marines I am moving on to another Chapter, this time of my own design: the Tempest Knights (colour scheme attached).
The Knights Tempestus, as they are also known by, are descended from the Imperial Fists and employ deadly ambush tactics to deliver the killing blow to the enemy.
Their Chapter Symbol is a Hurricane with a Skull in place of the Eye of the Storm, alluding to the fact that when the Tempest arrives, there is no safe place to go.
I have one Tactical Squad at the moment and I will provide pictures when possible. Also worth noting is that I'll be using Desert Mesa bases from Iron Halo https://ironhalo.net/store//catalog/index.php?cPath=45_82 to make my Marines look pretty :o
So, yeah, I guess I'll keep you posted.
I'll be back.
