Army Lists

[Cadet Commissar]

OK Guys, A lot of you have said that you either Used to or still do play WH40K, so let see your army lists please.

Tell us what edition it was made for, and how well it worked.

Thanks ppl.

[roguesword]

Well, its not constructed yet but im halfway there..

This is mainly built for me cos I enjoy painting/collecting over gaming, although if pushed there is nothing to say I wouldnt game with it...

Right this is 1500 pts all told, I dont have it properly written out so I cant do the sums at the mo and Im doing this from memory. Its for current edition 40k and the models are cadians.

HQ

Command Squad- Senior Officer with plasma pistol, carapace armour and power sword (col schaeffer model), 1 medic, 2 guardsmen with lasguns, 1 with plasma gun. (this is very pts heavy so im also going to get a standard boxed set command HQ for when the situation dictates.)

Sanctioned Psyker with laspistol
Commissar with power fist and bolt pistol

Fire Support Squad with 3 heavy bolters (i think, i decided it would be HB's...)
Anti tank squad with 3 lascannons

Troops

Platoon 1: Junior Officer with bolt pistol and chainsword, 4 guardsmen

3 Squads of 9 men with lasguns with sgt with laspistol and chainsword

Platoon 2: Junior Officer with bolt pistol and chainsword, 4 guardsmen

3 Squads of 9 men with lasguns with sgt with laspistol and chainsword


Elites:

10 Stormtroopers 8 with hellguns, sergeant with plasma pistol and bolter, one with plasma gun

Heavy Support:

2 Leman Russ with hull mounted heavy bolter (no sponsons)

1 basilisk (cos they are soo cool!)

heh, it wasnt really designed with playability in mind, i dont supose it would be very mobile for a start. and the HQ and stromtroopers are pretty points heavy for not a lot of goodness.

That looks pretty standard mate, HQ & Stormtroopers cost, but hey, they can knock out a tank on their own.(Yes its true, one of my command squads once knocked out a land raider) They are guard, so they are not meant to be mobile, they are meant to dish out the pain. Though I would add a squad HW in your platoons, the best thing to do with them is to sit them still and hold what you have, use other units to capture ground.

OK these are all tallarns, so cost a hell of a lot, they are the basic units I use, either take stuff away or add it to. These work with 3rd & 4th Edition rules.

Infantry Coy. Just plain old guard, it also helps that their is very little difference between my Coy and Platoon command squads, this means that for every attack on what looks like your commander(A converted Scheafer with two masive dogs-Franki&Geri from the Space Wolves)), is only a 1 in 8 chance of killing the main boss.

How many points is that Tallarn list?

[Cadet Commissar]

I dont have the list on me at the moment as Im at work, but I think the Infantry and Mechanised Company is in the region of 2k point using the current codex.

I have no idea as to the cost of the Tallarn/ Forgeworld Armourd Coy, It is probably in the region of 4K if not more. Mainly just put it together for the tanks, as I love tanks.
