Wargear: Bolt sniper rifle X3 and BP X3
✠6 man Centurion Devastator squad✠ 570pts
Wargear 5x twin lascannons (10 lascannons)
6 Hurricane bolters
1 Twin heavy bolter
And that's it! As some of you may be able to tell this list relies on pumping out as many shots as i can instead of being tactically flexible but I think I have just enough units to cover that area
So the main stratagem im going to use is bolter drill, here is what it does :
BOLTER DRILL 1CP: Use this Strategem just before an Imperial Fists Infantry unit attacks in the Shooting Phase. Each time you make a hit roll of 6+ for a model firing a bolt weapon, that model can immediately make another hit roll using the same weapon at the same target these bonus attacks cannot themselves generate any further attacks). For the purposes of this Strategem, a bolt weapon is any weapon profile whose name includes the word “bolt” (e.g. boltgun, bolt rifle, heavy bolter, boltstorm gauntlet) Pedro Cantor’s Dorn’s Arrow is also a bolt weapon.
So when using this on my centorian devastators who have 6 hurricane bolters i have 72 shots ready to go, say im shooting at a unit that is double my size, i get +1 to hit, then i use my warlord trait to give me another +1 to hit, this effectively means i get extra bolter shots on 4+ when i roll my 72 dice :D
Plus with the Centurion being infantry i cant use quite afew things to my advantage, the apothecary can heal them, the chapter Ancient can let them fire when they die, they can use the auspex stratagem to shoot those cheeky deepstrikers, and stuff like that.
(I also am using the land speeders and the whirlwind to synergise and use the auto hit whirlwind stratagem. Its called Datalink Telemetry)
But yeah! hope you enjoyed looking through this list, please send your feedback in the comments :)
Nice list! I've always loved the Crimson Fists chapter. So cool you taking 3 land speeders...I reckon they would be useful! Expect your Centurions to be targeted...but 6 of them should last ok and the Apothecary will be most helpful! Unique list for sure. For extra fire support could you sqeeze in a Predator Destructor? For points maybe drop the whirlwind, and Sniper Scouts? That tank will provide great firepower and will probably be left alone as the opponent will be more worried about the Centurions. Just an idea:)
Yeah a great idea they are going to be targeted, I'm hoping the apothecary and librarian will keep them safe!
And the reason I have that whirlwind in is too work with the land speeders with the datalink strategem, but I'll see what I can do with that predator good idea :)
Ok no problem! All the best with building the list:)
Just saw the video and thanks for giving it a review! Ps Im pleased with my 7.5 out of ten :D
No problem at all. Turned out to be a good episode I think:)
