Thread JUST died so reposting here.
Starting a proper traitor force with Death Guard, painted a big 20 man squad of tactical marines so far. Trying to work out a 'core' roughly 1200 list that I'll take most games and then use the remaining points for everything else. How does this sound?
>20 man tac squad w/ vexilla, nuncio, augary scanner, Sgt w/ artificer and scythe, attached Apothecary w/ scythe.
>20 man tac squad w/ vexilla, nuncio, augary scanner, Sgt w/ artificer and scythe, attached Apothecary w/ scythe.
>5 man Reconnaissance squad w/ 5 nemesis bolters.
>5 man Reconnaissance squad w/ 5 nemesis bolters.
>10 man HSS with auto cannons, tech marine w/ cognis signum, and a nearby Siege Breaker for sunder on a nearby unit (not actually in the unit, so they can keep the heavy bonus).
How does this sound? Good core? Too weak/strong? I want to use 20 man tac squads for a Great Crusade massed legionary feel, as well as Death Guard resilience with Apothecaries and Heart of the legion. But I'm willing to avoid it if blast or getting swept will just waste my points. Building this for 2.0 also, maybe will use in 3.0 if my group ever moves over.
