ok league game this evening.. 1250 points - 2006/03/10 09:55 Ok I have a strange thought. I have a league game this evening and I made 2 rather different lists for 1250 points... I play dark angels by the way... These lists are both designed to start with not a dang thing on the table during deployment... no one at the place I play has ever done it and I think it would majorly throw them off (plus it just sounds fun, as in "Ok deploy your army, I'm done")

ok list one is basic troops all either deepstrike or infiltrate.

Re:ok league game this evening.. 1250 points - 2006/03/10 11:42 Having played elysians for a while I know how much fun you can have with this type of army but it is always a safe bet to try and have some troops on the ground from the start. for this reason I would go with the first list as it has more infultrating presance which wont be ruined if you scatter your deep striking baddly or they all turn up a squad at a time. but that is personal prefrance I suppose and the one game where your army lands at the right time in the right place is a killer

Re:ok league game this evening.. 1250 points - 2006/03/10 13:32 Right a few problems with the lists.

on the first list, that command squad is just stupid, 541 points in a 1250 game, you want just a master and a basic squad in this points size.

also mate, you need to format that list a bit, its really hard to read.

Terminator squads need to be 6 strong they have to take out 4 termys to get them under half strengh.

Here is my 1k balanced list.

--------
HQ

Master of Sanctity - Bolt Pistol, Terminator Honors, Jump pack, stubborn
141 Points


Elites

Venerable Dreadnought - Assault Cannon, CCW, EA, SL
133 Points


Troops

Tactical Squad (8) - 5 normal marines, marine with plasma gun, marine with heavy bolter, Sgt with bolter
135 Points

Tactical Squad (7) - 4 normal marines, marine with plasma gun, marine with Missile Launcher, Sgt with bolter
125 Points


Fast Attack

Ravenwing Land Speeder - Heavy Bolter, Assault Cannon
80 Points

Assault Squad(9) - 8 assault marines, vet sgt with powerfist, bolt pistol, stubborn
233 Points


Heavy Support

Predator Annihilator - Lascannon sponsors, EA, SL
153 Points


Total 1000 Points
---------

Re:ok league game this evening.. 1250 points - 2006/03/10 13:44 uhm.. the entire point would be infiltrating or deep striking everything.

your list can't even remotely do that.

I mean realistically I have over 6K points of DA and I could field a standard list if I really wanted to but then that wouldnt be my point.

Its mainly for my entertainment value anyways. no need to get insulting. well I suppose you could.. but either way I really wouldn't care

Thanks for your Input Kris

Re:ok league game this evening.. 1250 points - 2006/03/10 13:51 For the first roster you should lose a few points from the command squad and boost up those scout squads.

Re:ok league game this evening.. 1250 points - 2006/03/10 15:34 Sorry urban, did not even see your whole infiltrating thing going on there, may i recommend you edit the list so its east to read (somthing like my format is pretty standard). Brother Xeres Signing out

Re:ok league game this evening.. 1250 points - 2007/09/09 03:45 well the only thing i noticed was that in the second list, you put doen that the codicer librarian had both honors and the termie armor. if hes got the armor you dont have to add the cost for honors or list honors in the wargear since the termie honor is combined with the armor. in god we trust;all others must pay cash

at 20 years of age the will reigns,at 30 the wit, at 40 the judgement
