Topic: New combat patrol list for Conflict, C&C needed

[Elessar Telemnar (gone)]

right, this will hopefully (assuming i can raise £20 to go (i'm broke)) be the list i am taking to Conflict South.
Designed for use with allied Black templars

XV8 Shas’ui Monat Team Leader - 77 points
Plasma rifle, missile pod, targeting array, hard-wired multi-tracker

XV8 Monat - 53
Twin-linked missile pods, targeting array

Fire Warrior Team - 135
Shas’ui - Pulse rifle, bonding knife
11 Shas’la - Pulse rifles

Fire Warrior Team - 135
Shas’ui - Pulse rifle, bonding knife
11 Shas’la - Pulse rifles

The plan is that the fire warrior teams and the helios crisis stay static at the back and pound the enemy using distance; and the fireknife crisis will advance with the BT assault units, providing some firepower, hopefully withering down some units before engaging them in assault.

Any comments and critisism (constructive or otherwise) will be gladly welcomed,

Ok point 1 is,How can you ally with the Black Templars?
Point 2 is are you wanting to have CC?
A good idea is to drop 1 squad of FW and get a DF.TRick it out with multi-tracker,smart missiles,burst cannon,decoy launchers,etc.It will come to about 130 points.( i play a guy who uses this tactic and it anoys the heck out of me)

1. I think you can ally, but you have to stay 12" away or you have to take a morale check, or something like that

2. The BTs are gonna handle the CC

I have a thorough disliking of devilfish, i have no idea why, i just cant use them i suppose.  The higher rate of fire and longer survivability of fire warriors appeals to me more.

yeah, its pretty good. i cant think of much its missing.

mobility is key in patrols, consider outfitting one of the squads with carbines instead of rifles. they can then move to support wherever the field needs help.

good luck with the tourney.

I agree with walkopanda. Mobility is the key in small point games combined with the amount of bodies you can bring on the table. If the Black templars shield you off then you should take advantage of this. Equip your squads with carbines (at least one of them) and let them walk behind the BT.

For the rest its pretty ok IMO. The helios will be able to take down landspeeders and the like while the commander can vary between light vehichles and heavy infantry. Make good use of his IC rules and let him stick a inch or 2 behind the templar squads if possible thus he can never be targetted.

As far as I know you get a -1 LD when your allying with something like BT. Because you don't trust them.
