Riavan Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hey guys, been buying a few models and making my first army. Just wanted any feedback or hints. 1 - Lord cele on dracoth 2 - concussors on dracoth 1 - unit of 5 liberators 1 - unit of 5 retributors 1 - unit of 5 retributors 1 - Lord replicator Total is 1000 points. Bit concerned about the small amount of models. I haven't bought a second set of retributors or the concussors yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riavan Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Just finished painting my first unit of liberators if anyone is interested too > http://imgur.com/gallery/FUkcP (Note my camera and lighting is really bad, they are def heavily black and not grey).

Primoris Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I think you've got the points wrong that all comes to 1120, its also not battleline so it's an illegal list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhsellwood Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 nice job on the painted models - the black and gold is a very striking paint scheme. In terms of the list, if you playing with the matched play rules as mentioned above you are slightly over. Maybe swap one of the Retributor units for Liberators? This will get you back to 1,000 points and meet the battleline requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 He meant 2 units of 5 liberators (imo). It matches points wise. Plus: Typo = 1 mistake Composition errors = 2 mistakes I'm going with the fewer mistakes option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riavan Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Haha. I got it all wrong. Sorry. Haven't learnt the names properly yet. Embarrassing. Lord cele on dracoth. 2 concussors on dracoth 5 liberators 5 judicators 5 judicators Lord relictor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lissë-Prime Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 IMO Including dracothian guard unit in 1,000 points army is too expensive. Enemy will shoot your concussor down with ease given their 5W/model. I would take Retributors instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just the LCoD you wouldn't be confident running him solo to an objective or into a delicate or high-points enemy target. With the concussors it is a lot meatier. They're pretty sturdy too. 3 plus save re-rolling the 1s. And retributors are SLOW with no formation or vex teleport. They'd trundle across with the liberators and Lord Relictor and maybe waste 2 whole rounds. If you wanted a defensive list the retributors might be better.

Mikester1487 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I think it's a solid start! In the near future I'd recommend adding another 5 liberators just to beef up that unit. 5 by themselves tend to melt away when you're holding a point.

Riavan Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 So knight vexs are needed to speed the units up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 It's a one off deepstrike but is definitely the favoured way of getting a big unit of retributors into combat. I personally am going to try experimenting with the Knight Heraldor instead. Pros He won't be as high on a clever opponent's threat list (sneakier) He can use his Onwards to Glory ability each hero phase and he has a useful terrain-based ranged mortal wound attack (flexible) He's cheaper! Cons I have to buy him! I have to paint him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riavan Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 What about the following. 2 x 5 liberators (or one big unit if that is more beneficial?) 2 x 5 judicators with bows 1 x 5 retributors Lord cele on foot Lord relic 1 x 3 prosecutors with javelins. I think the Lord relic and the prosecutors could be switched out for someone else or a better hero unit, I'm not really sure what is good though and would like your opinions on it. Thanks!
