Sure, they can’t punch worth a damn, but they’re a whole lot cheaper than the terminators and having a bunch of S5 guns is very nice. At T6, they took just as much dedicated fire to kill as the terminators (especially with +1 to their save on objectives), while putting out more effective shooting. The assault cannon is a good gun, but the rest of the storm bolters are lucky to accomplish much of anything. They punch OK, but not as well as a truly dedicated melee unit, and melee is not really in a great place in 10th. They’re tough – but still die when any real effort is made to shift them, and not substantially tougher than my heavy intercessors. My other favorites from Leviathan, these guys are taking a vacation into my display cabinet. I was running him with The Honor Vehement for the extra strength and attack, which worked out well enough that on a turn when I had Abaddon as my oath target I was able to use the Epic Challenge stratagem and kill him. I mostly took this guy because he was one of my favorite models out of the Leviathan box, but I did end up overall pretty happy with his performance. Jack's Tacoma Open ListĬaptain in Terminator Armour (110 points) With the dreads this list also ends up very simple to run – be durable, stand on objectives, shoot things. To run tanks I would’ve needed to source some gladiator lancers, which I think are an endangered species in North America. To hit everything else, I had the option of going with either tanks or dreads, and going with dreads would let me run the shiny new ballistus and my brutalis (which I think is my best painted dread). The last part is key – I hadn’t had a chance to play any practice games, so game 1 on Friday was also my first game of 10th. Have models that stand out well from a distance.
I built this army with a couple goals in mind: Instead, I’m going to walk through my army and look at how each unit performed overall. It was a great event and I had 8 fun games against good opponents, but as I went 3-5 I don’t think anyone’s going to be particularly interested in play-by-plays of all the games.
As regular readers of TheChirurgeon’s Road through 2023 posts may have seen, I took home the trophy for Best Painted at the Tacoma Open.
