W40K: Orks 1750 Point List

Games Workshop©

Seeing how all my Orks are from the "Assault on Black Reach" box sets (I had four of them when the sets came out) I decided to go with the following list for my 1750 point force.  I did purchase an additional 2 Trukks so my Nobz can get into battle faster.

I do not see myself spending a lot in adding to this army (unless I end up having a lot of fun with them), so we shall see how this list will stack up.

One item I may change right away is breaking up the two units of 5 Deffkoptas into three units of 3.  That would leave me some points to play around with, but at the moment I do not have anything to fill in those points.

Anyways, here is the list I came up with and will be playing for awhile:

1750 pts
HQ
1x Warboss w/ Power Klaw, TL Shoota, Eavy Armour (95)

Elites
9x Nobz w/ Choppa, Slugga, Eavy Armour; Trukk w/ Rokkit Launcha, Wreckin Ball (275)
10x Nobz w/ Choppa, Slugga, Eavy Armour; Trukk w/ Rokkit Launcha, Wreckin Ball (300)

Troops
30x Boyz; 26x w/ Choppa & Slugga; 3x Big Shoota; 1x Boyz Nob w/ Choppa, Slugga, Eavy Armour (210)
30x Boyz; 26x w/ Choppa & Slugga; 3x Big Shoota; 1x Boyz Nob w/ Choppa, Slugga, Eavy Armour (210)
30x Boyz; 26x w/ Choppa & Slugga; 3x Big Shoota; 1x Boyz Nob w/ Choppa, Slugga, Eavy Armour (210)

Fast Attack
5x Deffkoptas w/ TL Rokkit Launcha (225)
5x Deffkoptas w/ TL Rokkit Launcha (225)

Total Army Cost: 1750

The plan is just to have fun moving around 110 Orks! and shooting as much as I can.  This is not a 'tournament' list for me, it is just another army to grab off the shelf and throw some dice with.

W40K: IG 1500/1750 Alternate Lists

Seeing how I still do not have my second Hellhound (and probably will not for a few more weeks, boy do moving expenses really add up....) I decided to redo some of my earlier lists I published to remove the second Hellhound and add in the Leman Russ.  Plus, I really do like the Executioner, it really paid off at AdeptiCon.

W40K: Tyranids 1750/2000 Lists (Final)

Awhile back I mentioned I was modifying my Tyranid lists a bit to match more how the items are packaged.  I said I was going to post my new lists, but I guess I never did.  Tonight I'll be heading to Empire Games for some Fantasy gaming, while there I'll pick up a few more models for what I need to get my Tyranids to 1750 points.

Here are my final 1750/2000 point lists for the Tyranid army I am working on.  It may not be the greatest lists, but I'll still enjoy playing them.

W40K: IG 9th Vostroyans 2000 Point List

I believe I finally decided on a list for the 9th Vostroyans.  Since mainly my 114th Cadians are a mix of Foot/Mech (with the option to go fully Mech), I decided that for the Vostroyans I will go fully Mechanized for them.  This way the 144th Cadians can stay as Foot/Mech, and I'll play the Vostroyans fully Mech.  When I finally do play Apocalypse games, I'll have plenty of fire power when combing both regiments.

Like I said yesterday, I really wanted to go heavy with the Tanks, so here is what I came up with:

2000 Pts
HQ
Company Command Squad w/ Carapace Armour, 3 Flamers; Chimera (140)

Troops:
Veteran Squad w/ Carapace Armour, 3 Plasmaguns, Heavy Bolter; Chimera (210)
Veteran Squad w/ Carapace Armour, 3 Plasmaguns, Heavy Bolter; Chimera (210)

W40K: IG 1750 Fully Mechanized List

Along with the 1750 Mech/Foot list I have posted, I think I will be trying out this Fully Mechanized list once in awhile for fun.  It's all about having fun with our toy soldiers isn't it?  Why not try out different builds since the models will already be assembled and painted.

W40K: Tyranids 1750/2000 Lists

With the release of the new Tyranids Codex and plastic models last weekend, it got me to thinking on what I want to do next after my Imperial Guard. I really do like the look of some of the new models and I think with the "TAP" method of painting I can get them done rather quickly.

I probably will not start buying any of the models till I finish my relocation back to Arizona (everything is already packed Warhammer related besides AdeptiCon armies) unless during my visit back to Arizona next month I pick up a few models and leave them at my parents (you know I'll probably end up doing that!)

Having never played Tyranids before, I searched DakkaDakka to get some ideas on army lists. While perusing through some of the lists, I came across a fellow named Mercer across the "pond" who runs his own blog Imperius Dominatus and asked him for some advice.

Mercer replied back to me with a great starting point for a 2000 point Tyranid list along with some tactics that you can read about here. I made just a few changes to his original list and also removed some units to make a 1750 point list. Most of the games I play are 1500/1750 points, but I do like to have enough models to be able to play up to at least 2000 points. I still need to work on removing a few items for 1500 points, but here are my lists for 1750 and 2000 points.

W40K: IG 1500/1750/2000 Lists

I just realized that I never actually posted any lists for the Imperial Guard army that I am working on. The originality of the list was from a friend of mine and I made a few changes here and there. I have yet to play with any of these (trying to get them painted first) so I'm sure these lists will change every now and then, but this is what I am starting with and what I am painting first. Once the 2000 points gets painted I'll probably start a new army while also expanding the Imperial Guard.
