Starting Thunderhawk down : Dark Angels
Thu, 09/03/2009 - 19:35
Ok, so now that baseball is over I figure I'll write up a warband and see what I can manage. And I'm not entirely sure that I got this down right so here is what I'm gunning for:
Hero's
Veteran Sergeant: Close Combat Weapon, Plasma Pistol. 190 credits
Devastator Sergeant: Plasma Cannon. 235 credits
Henchmen
2 Tactical Marines. 80 credits (Now, not sure here if I have to buy them their standard kit or not)
Ravenwing Biker. 165 credits
Anyone see anything wrong with this warband in the way that I created it?

hmmmm how effective are bikers though I have to wonder... I mean, for the same points I can get two more tactical marines which seems like it might be more useful.
Thoughts?

The attack bike would be the best option I think... 2 wounds, heavy bolter... nice choice in a small game. Good unit to screen your other units with I think.

Also, the bike is definately winning on the badass scale, which in a social/casual game like THD is at the moment should win out over competitiveness (provided it doesn't become a crippling handicap of course).
Cheers,

Yeah, but that can be the fun of it sometimes, cause you know they'll be itching for some revenge :)
Plus, 1 missile launcher and your done for. My one friend plays Blood Angels, and I dread the inevitable Death Company, though without a chaplain they'll be gunning right for me :(
Seems like the fun of this can be the nasty lists, and the ability for one heroic model running around laying waste to your enemies... though if your playing in a league or something perhaps a more "balanced" list to start would be better... after all they say "sportsmanship" starts with army composition/selection.

I'm pretty sure that they come with there standard kit already.... it was covered in a Q&A earlier. So don't pay for the extra's. A tactical marine is 80pts(if that's the total cost, not sure) and it includes everything the codex entry say's it does... bolter, bolt pistol, ect.
My chaos warband included a heavy bolter(as I can split fire or just lay down a lot of shots). The multi-shot weapons seem to just be nasty in a senario like this.
Plasma cannon is very dark angels though :)
