I get to play a good Friend, Chosen1 from Team Snake Eyes Blog, before heading back home. He wanted to try out his friendly list for Adepticon. Since I dubbed this month IG month I quickly slapped together an army. Let's look at My list:
HQ
Company Command Squad
Lascannon team
Camo cloaks
sniper X 2
Master of Ordnance
Troops
Platoon
Platoon Command Squad
Lascannon team
Infantry squad
Commissar
Missile team
infantry Squad
Missile team
Veteran squad
melta X 3
chimera
Veteran squad
melta X 3
chimera
Fast Attack
Bane Wolf
Bane Wolf
Heavy Support
Executioner Leman Russ
Executioner Leman Russ
Elite
Marbo
Fortifications
Aegis Defence Line
Quad cannon
The idea is to have the blob and command squads sit back behind the ADL and provide cover for the tanks as they move up field and take objectives and/or engage the enemy. I need to actually get or make a Marbo miniature. I don't like the GW version since he is all rambo like. My version will be more master chief like. It is only 1500 points and I have 6 tanks. I know that I am probably asking for a woopin and pretty much surrending first blood if I go second but what can I say I love tanks. I probably could get rid of the chimeras and the bane wolfs and add in a couple vendettas but I only have 1 of those and I am trying to keep it a little friendly.
His list looks like this:
HQ
Vulkan
Command Squad
Apothecary
Company Champion
Razorback
Heavy bolter
Elite
Dreadnought
lascannon
missile launcher
Troops
Tactical Squad
Flamer
Missile Launcher flakk Missiles

I am hoping my numbers will help me out and make it hard for him to advance on me. De doesn't have much anti tank and hopefully I can get them before they get me. Over all it should be fun. I am looking forward to playing Chosen1. Since my move I have missed the comradely of the old gang. hopefully I will get some decent photos and get to put up a battle report.
