?please first forgive my bad english writing ? ? Well here is a few ideas for my Emperor?s Children Army I don?t make a copy/paste of my original document cause it?s in French and i?m not good enough I think to translate all in english. So this is only a digest
This is based on the BL3.4 ... I wait for the new version of the list to make the modifications.
Strategy Rating 3 (lesser than BL good commander but troops often drive in their war pleasure madness) ?
Initiative 1+
So here are the core troops :
EC Retinue : from 6 to 12 EC marines : upgrading 6 standard CSM in Noise Marines ... so u can have a full 6 cult marines retinue or a mix between CSM and Noise (upgrades same as BL = NO obliterators ) ?: 40pts / units
Noise Marines Retinue (= Forlorn Hope) I keep it here even I know cult marines will disappear from FH in the 3.5 of the list : 6 Noise + rhinos or dreadclaws : 240 pts
New upgrade for Land Raiders and Predators : upgrade one vehicle with a warp amplificator => see below
This core choice open the possibily to get support ones
0-2 EC Chosen : up to 6 units + : Fearless Chosen with Blasmaster : 70 pts / units
0-2 Slaanesh Beast Riders : 6 units ?upgrades same as bikes + abiltliyy jto have a Champion of Slaanesh : 250 pts
0-1 House Devine support formation : Questor, Daemon Knights, Subjugator => this units remplace Decimator and Deathwheel
Titans and Navy same as BL ... don?t think yet of a specified Warlord Titan for the EC
All Daemons are Slaani : Keeper of Secrets, Daemonettes, Daemonettes on Riding Beasts ?
SOME STATS :
Champion of Slaanesh : get the ?Doom Siren (yep this is intented to be Doom Rider running with the devil
) ?weapon that give him Small Arms / First Strike. Think too I can give access to this character to all retinue in the army Change too the name of the Possesed Weapon of the Daemon Prince to Lash of Torment
Slaanesh beast riders : they have not yet stats ... my first think was to give them all the Doom Siren but think it will be too powerfull same stats as bikes (but realize now i don?t well remember stats of the bikes) with the names change as Warp Scream(small arms) ?and Lash Tongues(assault weapon) (for the beasts) ?
Warp Amplificator: Give Inspiring to the unit
Thx to Commander Irondeath and Nealhunt for their work on World Eaters and Thousand Sons
I took here some of their ideas
Thx too to The_Fifth_Horseman, Commisar Zak, and this guy on epic yahoo groups (I forget her nickname) I read the first EC list I saw
This list is not so extremist as the first have thought ... I which i could create a Tank with sonic weapons .. something like those in the Computer Game Dune II with the atreides sonic tank
Tried to create too a profile for Fulgrim ....
Comments welcome
Audrey i wait for the list you will do ... mine is purely theorical for now and never took the way of the playtest ... just some work ideas ...
