Conflict Scotland: The LIST of Lists.

March 11th 2010 -

So after a few games with the Tau and Ravenwing combo, things weren’t working, there simply weren’t enough RW bikers on the board to pose a real threat to anything that wasn’t a vehicle. So they ended up as CC-fodder to save the Tau.

We went back and re-thought the lists, for two weeks I sat discussing things with my buddy NurglePhill (He isn’t my gaming partner for this event.. sadly), and I finally settled on this list:

10 Assault Terminators
– Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields = 400

5 Scouts
– Missile Launcher, bolters
– Sergeant with Teleport Homer. = 100

With a small tweak to the Tau list to include a Positional Relay I now have a terminator unit that can come down on a 2+ on turn two!
So here’s the Tau list:

Tau Commander (lower points ones)
– Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Hard Wired Multi Tracker, Positional Relay.

9 Firewarriors
– Shasui with bonding knife
10 Firewarriors
– Shasui with bonding knife

Hammer Head
– Rail Gun, Burst cannons, multi tracker, disruption field.

So lots of shooty and lots of assaulty, seems like a good match!
The Terminator squad will combat squad to give me two units, one will deepstrike, the other will defend the Tau and push forwards generally being scary!
This army is being built just for this event! I’m currently in the process of making the Terminators, more on that tomorrow!

Oh, and thankyou to those that have pre-ordered resin bases from me! I should have the 40mm versions done soon, in fact, they’re drying on my desk right now!

    hi im attending too, quick question - can you use the abilities of alied forces like your terminator using the Positional Relay. I thought you couldnt use things like that?
  • We haven't been told that we can't by any of the staff and there's no
    mention of it in the rules pack.

    As a tau player, I might take out the Sahsui and bonding knifes out of the firewarrior squads, and 2 fire warriors for another crisis suit with TL missile pod and a targetting array. Honestly, once your firewarriors are in combat the bonding knife probably wont help. Just make sure that they can fire as they are running away for a turn or 2.

    Well colour me flattered! Although i think you give me more credit than i deserve lol. Also, you remember i hardly get to play right? :P

    Still i confess i like this list, ESPECIALLY as they show up so fast and so accurate...the best DS possible in the game? All those inv saves are gonna make these guys a friggin' nightmare, especially at this points value. Tau firepower and Termy CC. If I may quote E.T. : "Ooouuuch"
  • Tim don't you need a HQ for the Marine force or are they using a different format to years previous?
  • Nope, only one half needs a hq :D
