Im sure Eldar will also be a problem but when havent they lately.<br /><br />Battle Company is a no brainer. I've played against something similar before and as long as a decent amount of my templates hit i'll do ok. With only having a BS of 2 it can be a real problem hitting things with this army.<br /><br />Mamon isn't just there for his stats, although they are good. At 220 he is a bit pricey but I wanted something I could deep strike into my enemies deployment zone or my own if im in trouble that's hard to kill and will divert some a decent amount of attention away from my main lines. I could easily get a Chimera in there with a few guys but is the Chimera with 5 guys totting one special weapon or possibly 10 totting 2 at BS 2 worth it? I'm not sold. Because its cheap I could possibly add a Chimera with a few guys to hold objectives and a deep striking melta squad. My issue is im looking for big threats to make my opponents have to change their game plan. I don't know if a single chimera with some guard in it will do that. A guy with GUO stats and an AP 3 poison 2+ flamer just might.<br /><br />As for the Blight Drone I love that guy. I would actually drop Mamon and add another if I had a second. Its not great to combat other flyers but at least it could and I am definitely lacking in that respect and whether flying or hovering that 2+ jink is great. As for the blast, I would miss it because picking up that large template a fifth time is better than just picking it up 4 times.<br /><br />At this point I think I'd like to play test this list a bit but you have some solid points and I may have to consider dropping Mamon for anti-air and objective grabbing units.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620917021260315414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429415465271875643.post-71056190321120189262015-11-19T19:35:15.700-08:002015-11-19T19:35:15.700-08:00I really like this list. It's super "flu...I really like this list. It's super "fluffy" and has got some serious teeth. You are going to run into some problems though.<br /><br />As you mentioned, you have issues with objective taking. You have no highly mobile units with the exception of the dread claw and the blight drone, and they will not be able to hold objectives if they are flying and will most likely get shot down once they hover simply because.<br />Once the Infernus and Mamon land they are relegated to 6" per move and Mamon can't run.<br /><br />Ironically enough, your strength will become a liability if you face Dark Eldar, one of the weakest armies in the game. All their poison will eat right through you high T artillery. Good thing they suck and no one plays them. Their sleek looking twins on the other hand will do a number on you. Their jet bikes move way too fast for your zombies to get them and they will be able to spread out to minimize the damage of your blasts. Warp spiders are also a nightmare for you being able to jump away when you target them. Thankfully your reach is long and will usually still be able to hit them.<br /><br />Battle company on the other hand... I'm pretty sure you will be able to smash that one. Marines typically load up on grav weapons, which are all but useless against your low armour army. You have the high S to take out all the rhinos and enough AP3 to take out all the marine bodies.<br /><br />And if you can smash a Battle company i'm pretty sure you could smash about half the armies you come up against. I'm not sure how many points this army is, or how many points each unit is, but you may want to consider a couple changes to get in some special weapons and a little more direct damage and mobility.<br /><br />As bad ass as Mamon looks, I think he's a point sink for this list. He is quite a few points that could buy a whole unit in a chimera. I'm not sure if you had any greater plans with him other than "He's a tough beatstick".<br />The Blight drone is in a similar situation. With all the template's your throwing around you may not miss his 1. However, in my last tournament I played with 2 and they were my MVP's in every game not because they could kill infantry but because they can kill flying tyrants and their flamer template ignores cover. It sucks at taking out other flyers however and if someone comes with a couple of those, you could also be in trouble.<br /><br />I really want to know how this list does in a couple games and who you played against.The 40K Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847769538828380226noreply@blogger.com
