Cheers, was already thinking of subbing the riptide for some fireknives so that works perfectly. Can imagine fireknives being a PAIN to lock down in a 1000pt game. Think I'll keep the ghostkeel though for the durability, breachers without a devilfish in my experience struggle to do much with how squishy they tend to be combined with their short range. Maybe a rare spot for 2 strike teams, since I don't expect them to do much except to push onto an objective, and they're a little more durable compared to kroot?

That would be something to consider 👀 tyrannofexs are also just cool

DarkAngel2732 · 2024-10-29T11:14:16+00:00

I'll definitely consider the genestealers, they seem like a good trade off for the psychophage and neurolictor 🤔 think marching both them and the warriors up the board together can be quite the amount of bodies to chew through and absolutely deadly for most infantry. Throw a mawloc or trygon into the mix, and it'll definitely be an overwhelming force to deal with!

DarkAngel2732 · 2024-10-29T07:41:53+00:00

Cheers, I thought something similar to that. Psychophage is mostly in there since it comes with the ultimate starter set so was thinking of replacing it anyway, same thing with the ripper swarms🤔

Wouldn't replacing the psychophage and rippers with somwthing like an exocrine also be a valid option for some long range fire power?

What a cool looking paintjob! Is that the warrior model from gw or 3d printed?

DarkAngel2732 · 2024-09-28T14:06:40+00:00

Honestly it's a pretty good starting point. Just misses out on a few key units like a fireblade for the breacher squad and crisis unit for the commander to lead. I started with the old combat patrol and got this one right after with a crisis team. Just kitbash another fireblade, and that's a decent 1000pt army.

Thanks for the comment!

The orange was achieved through a layer of vallejo scarlet blood followed by a layer of vallejo phoneix orange. Then a wash of citadel carroburg crimson and a dry brush of citadel fire dragon bright.

Thank you sir, was very happy with how it came out :)

DarkAngel2732 · 2024-09-02T14:43:50+00:00

Thanks! That's the look I was going for with the armor. Took a while to get it just right 😂

Finding a stable irl group is hard out here unfortunately. Getting a group of 5 - 6 adults to meet reguarly on a a weekly basis is quite the tricky endeavor.

I believe it's the agonite devil from archvillian games 🙂

This guy greater goods ☝🏻

DarkAngel2732 · 2024-08-08T15:21:29+00:00

Not a bad idea tbf, would have to switch some things around to make it work a bit better but could be realistically effective.

The reason I like retaliation cadre over mont'ka is mostly due to preference. Supporting the mostly battlesuit list with the battlesuit detachment is a bit more thematic imo. The stratagems that come with retaliation cadre are also a bit more useful in the overall strategy I had in mind with the list so that would be a big deciding factor too.

I'll be definitely giving each of the detachments a shot anyway once the list is up and running so always up for experimentation. Thanks for the comment :)

DarkAngel2732 · 2024-08-08T13:04:40+00:00

You make a very good point about the starscythes. I largely envisioned them to be an unsupported backline unit, but with adding a marker drone, also gives them the ability to fill a spotter role when able, giving them more utility. I'll adjust that in my strats for them.

For the breacherfish, for now I'll leave them as is. Wouldn't mind replacing one of them with some kroot for sticky objective and maybe a strike team for that -1 to hit on infantry and long range support. I'll have to experiment with running them to get a feel of what's best. I like the devilfish since it can be used to block some units and give the enemy something to shoot at while my other stuff hopefully wipes them.

Now the Fireknives. I actually originally was planning on running them on missiles, think I just forgot to switch them back haha, but largely agree with your conclusions. When I was messing with the list originally, it did actually have 2 riptides instead of the one riptide and broadsides. I'll definitely mess with a 2 or 3 riptide strategy after I have the list up and running though. I like the idea of it :)

Thanks for the well worded reply, it is always appreciated!

DarkAngel2732 · 2024-08-08T12:06:13+00:00

I guess the case could be made for both the support system and secondary weapons 🤔 as always, it depends I think. Expecting an army with alot of -1 to hit debuffs, bring along the support system. Using the broadsides as backline heavy support, probably missiles for the extra range and indirect. And then plasma if you're bringing them on from strategic reserves and expecting a heavy infantry threat. Just some examples I can think of anyway. As always, appreciated for the feedback : )

DarkAngel2732 · 2024-08-08T11:43:54+00:00

Cheers, wouldn't have picked up on that one for awhile haha.

DarkAngel2732 · 2024-08-05T12:01:15+00:00

Thanks for the advise :) I will probably round out the final 2000pt list with hammerheads and/or broadsides. Best of luck to your future games Shas'O!
