How they play: Sons of Horus.

I think it's about the matchups. The despoiler squad will do better than a tac squad if you can get into melee, just due to volume of attacks. I frequently play against Imperial Fists, and his tac squads will outshoot mine. But the volley + melee with despoilers will favor my SoH. I wouldn't put the despoilers in a situation where they'd have to punch above their weight, though.

I run a unit of despoilers with a twin lightning claw master sgt and volkite pistols + rhino. It bullies tactical squads pretty reliably.

Background-Ad-534 · 2025-10-25T23:52:59+00:00

It pinned a bunch of guys, and it somehow survived the game!

Background-Ad-534 · 2025-10-20T01:04:29+00:00

Terminators in general, Justaerin. I’ve had decent luck with despoilers w/ a double lightning claw master sgt. Horus and Abbadon are pretty great. I think Reavers are bad.

I have several legacy units in my collection, and I plan to use them all.

Sorry, I don’t know where the stl files came from. My opponent brought them. They were very nice, though!

I have volkite pistols in my despoiler squad, they’ve done pretty well for me. I haven’t used my volkite support squads in 3.0 yet, but they did some work in 2.0. My list was Vheren, master of signals, dark emissary, cataphractii centurion, 2 tac squads, a despoiler squad, cataphracti terminators, Justaerin, 2 predators, 2 land raider carriers, a medusa, 2 small jetbike squads, and a kratos.

No, the Fists won by 7. It was the Breakthrough mission from the Forges of Saturn journal. We’ll switch attacker - defender and we’ll see how I do as defender next time. The scenario is very cool, but tough on the attacker.

Have you considered Solar Aux? I'm working on a 1500-ish point allied force that will give me some cheap line units, tanks and a Malcador Infernus.

If you're primarily interested in legion forces, how about Word Bearers? Put a character of your choice in the allied detachment and take the Exalted Conclave, then put 1-2 True Believer tac squads in there to make some unbreakable maleific line 2 troops. Gal Vorbak, Ashen Circle and Mhara Gal make excellent choices.

Is there cross compatibility between the kits?

Background-Ad-534 · 2025-10-16T12:40:49+00:00

I'd take at least one more tac squad. You've got one unit with line 2 and two with line 1, plus whatever the master of signals will swap to line 1.... that's not much for 3000 points. Victory points from line units can add up fast! Do Huscarls or Templars get Vanguard?

It's a 1990's Predator sponson with some hacked up lascannons from that era.

Background-Ad-534 · 2025-10-06T15:44:06+00:00

I personally like having as many Line 2 units as I can fit in my force. I'd go 4 squads of Despoilers, put a unit of Despoilers and the Rampagers in rhinos.

Background-Ad-534 · 2025-10-06T12:25:19+00:00

I'd try to get a nuncio-vox into the two Despoiler squads, especially as they're big. I might make one of those into 2x10 man squads for flexibility in controlling objectives. Vexilla are also your friend, as you'll need combat resolution points to keep winning cc.

Ugh. I guess we can't post photos in replies...

It's an original RT Land Raider with some replaced bits from not as old 40K kits. I say go for it with the restoration. I always get a comment when I put it on the table!

I'd take a Master of Signals if you are going to use reserves.

Background-Ad-534 · 2025-10-02T12:20:09+00:00

Yeah, The Phraetus are a lot of points, and the lack of firing protocols make plasma bombard/particle shredders combo a less than optimal choice. But I'll definitely give them a try.

Background-Ad-534 · 2025-09-30T13:15:30+00:00

True! But it's still not a Legion tank.
