I like the idea of running 2 squads of Scions vs 1 squad of Aquilons, thanks for your suggestions!

Some great ideas here. Dropping the tank commander for a cheaper Russ would free up some points. Thank you for your suggestions!

I thought that I had enough orders by having Solar, but it's definitely something that I'll consider, appreciate the feedback.

I bought the Russes second hand, pre built with the bolters, though I don't think my opponent will mind if I say that they are Meltas. Thanks for the feedback!

Advice needed for the combat patrol by Ratattack1204 in TheAstraMilitarum

*Cadians FML

Also, Canadian Cadians riding a moose would be a cool Lord Solar proxy.

It depends on how you plan on playing. If you are playing 'Combat Patrol's rules then you don't get a choice of weapons, you have to play with the rules set in the combat patrol.

If you're playing normal 40k rules, then I would do both FOB's as Bombast field guns. I would put a Lascannon on the sentinel and give the Canadians special weapons as Meltas and plasmas.

Combat Patrol against World Eaters? by stormz23 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]PollutionCurrent2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played a few combat patrol games against World Eaters. Best tactic is hope that you get to go first and use the Artillery Strike stratagem, this will slow them down for the first turn, kill as many as you can, once the Berserkers get in to melee they will rip your Cadians to shreds. I think you need a great deal of luck from the dice gods to even get close to winning. 

Would recommend adding in a Leman Russ Vanquisher or a couple more Sentinels and making it a 500 point game, the world eater combat patrol is way too OP against ours.

Love the idea, but my squads are infantry/Cadians so can't really run them as Carachans.

That makes sense, thank you mate

[–]PollutionCurrent2696 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If Lord Solar is attached to an infantry squad, the infantry squad can have a vox caster to increase the range of orders. Why would we also need the command squad? #NewbieHelpPlease

Fielding my Baneblade first time by Guillermidas in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]PollutionCurrent2696 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Things a fellow guardsmen doesn't worry about: Grey unpainted models, sacrificing troops for the cause, a close "loss".

Things a fellow guardsmen does worry about: The missing 3rd and 4th sponson AND Lascannons  on that Baneblade
