Dann's Random Lists

Gonna juggle this project and my DE Coven, as I'm not sure how to play my DE at the moment.

Basically, I just wanted to convert Grey Knight Terminators into Chaos Knight Terminators. That's all there is to it. So what follows is a really really really unimaginative list


HQ
Brother Captain
+ Psycannon
+ Force Halberd
+ Digital Weapons
+ Rad Grenades


TROOPS
10X Grey Knight Terminators
+ 8 Force Halberds
+ 2 Daemon Hammers
+ 2 Psycannons

10X Grey Knight Terminators
+ 8 Force Halberds
+ 2 Daemon Hammers
+ 2 Psycannons

8X Grey Knight Terminators
+ 6 Force Halberds
+ 2 Daemon Hammers
+ 1 Psycannon


HEAVY SUPPORT
Dreadnought
+ 2 T/L Autocannons
+ Psybolt Ammunition

Dreadnought
+ 2 T/L Autocannons
+ Psybolt Ammunition

No transport = very slow moving terminators, against shooty armies, you'll get outshot if you rely on your dreads.

My suggestion since you want terminators, a Draigo, 2 squads of Paladins with Narthecium and 2 Psyflemen Dreads.

Much tougher but still slow. Or instead add 2 stormravens, since they are not counted towards the "half units in reserve" limitation rule, you can put your draigo and paladins in reserve with the flyers.

I would say that it's not bad la, since Grey Knights are very shooty, they can just sit and shoot without an issue.

yea I second alvin, this edition does balance the foot armies and mech armies.

Those termies may be walking but they will be in your face when they arrive. Hey dann is this for 1750 right?

Say that to the IG or Tau, heh.

Regardless, you can test against your DE, Dann.

actually, i can reserve all 3 termie units (with the Brother Captain) and keep the Dreads on the board.

Each Termie unit that deepstrikes need only be 12 to 18 inches away from the enemy to cause maximum damage, and I can assault next turn if the termies aren't wiped out.

Yup this is for 1750pts, highly doubt I can finish it anytime this year though hahaha...


As for Draigowing... nawwww...

That's more than half of your army in reserve, so...

As I've seen the problem with GK is their model count and range, not their firepower. The less units you have, the concentration of fire against you gets higher. To deal with this problem, people take henchman troops, tougher units or more mobility.

With the change in power weapon rules, you will see more people taking AP2 or less weapons more which is likely a shooting weapon.

that's true, so 29 men in reserve is not possible.

however, let's not forget the virtues of Combat Squad:

Reserve
Brother Captain + 8 Termies
10 termies
5 termies with psycannons


On board
5 termies
Dreadnought
Dreadnought




EDIT: I just realized i got 20 pts extra... 3 servo skulls for easier deep-striking/disruption OR 4 master-crafted psycannons

Good catch, however ICs are counted separately whether or not they joined together with a unit (pg 124).

Unless you combat squad another terminator unit, sadly you can't.

I wouldn't recommend deepstriking as a tactic for GK, very risky. Nevertheless, you'll know what's the ups and downs when you try your list la. I'd say this list is [edit] not super competitive, more fluffy, which I encourage.

[Servo-skulls - are nice, but look at the dark side of it, move within 6" of it, it goes poof and can only be outside of enemy deployment zone.]

correct la

Brother Captain
8 termies
10 termies
5 termies

5 termies
dreadnought
dreadnought

= 7 units. Up to four can be in reserve.

Oh my bad then. Apologies.

Okaylah tu.. but why now bro?
You know CSM codex is right around the corner kan

is there really no other sexy awesome GK player out there left until even Dann resorts to playing GK, and one of those cheap-o list too...things must be grim.

time to throw away my cane, get my leg checked, and go see mr.Fox (alvin).

honestly, it's just a conversion thing i just wanted to kit-bash a GK termie box with a Chaos Knights box and see what I can come up with. But since I'm gonna put some effort into it, I thought i'd make a list and get myself motivated to build an army for my conversion efforts.

If the new CSM codex allows me to make an all Chaos Termie list, then I'd go for it hehehe.



Arzmi Rises!

Gonna try my hand at Space Marines...

Just had a quick look at the Codex: Space Marine and was thinking of doing a Techmarine themed sit and shoot list.

Here we go:

HQ
Master of the Forge
+Conversion Beamer

ELITES
Techmarine
+5 Servitors
+2 Plasma Cannons

Techmarine
+5 Servitors
+2 Plasma Cannons

Dreadnought
+2 T/L Autocannons


TROOPS

HEAVY SUPPORT

Thunderfire Cannon

Dreadnought
+Lascannon
+Missile Launcher

Wait.. is this Dann or Din?

Scouts for troops? Haih... Tacticals man, tacticals... Free flamer and missile launcher wei.

really free flamer and ml? thats a good deal!

i was thinking scouts cuz i can make them 'servitor-snipers' - scouts pretty much got the same stats as servitors anyway

I didn't overlook tacticals, I just thought scouts would fit better.

Is this a full conversion army?

hv not thought further about that. It's one of those lists i make up but never actually make
I think i'll sooner build the Eldar/DE list than do this one.

build your de army la, its so themed and cool bro... marines are urm... marines...

Lol. I just wanna see what Dann's gonna do with this army, should be interesting.

yup that would be interesting indeed. Never seen dan play with scouts before.

Sorry for the thread resurrection.

An old codex caught my fancy, and I'm just gonna give it a go - just for fun.
