Army List: 1500 SOB - First Draft
« on: November 10, 2002, 01:43:47 AM »
Howdy folks. I'm a fan of the current SOB army list, and I'm considering using it to build a cult devoted to flame...perhaps an offshoot IG force, or maybe even an SOB army itself (if I can design a way to alleviate my hate of the miniatures).

At any rate, this is my first stab at an SOB army. Any input would be greatly appreciated:

1. Far too few preachers. You need alot more faithpoints than 5 to ensure victory.

2. Deploying Multimelta battlesisters in an Immolator is a BAD IDEA(tm). The few times that I've tried it I've always suffered for it as putting the expensive sisters in a tank that:
a. All treat like it was a Main Battle Tank with an infernocannon and not a Rhino chassis with a dual heavyflamer on it.
b. You really can't shoot the multimeltas from it. Doing so makes the tank more vulnerable than a Hellhound....and that is a really bad idea.

3. A confessor in a Redemptor squad? The redemptor priest costs half as much and is twice as good as the redemptor priest make them essentially fearless(cept that it can be pinned).

4. For being a cult of flame is doesn't have alot of flamers does it? I mean, you don't even have flamers in your Fast attack Battlesister squad.
Deathball, the new game of bloody basketball, 40k style!

+++Excerpt from Last Chaos/Space marine game, commentator: Inquisitor Khalheed "The Purgator" Qhor, Ex-Deathball player+++

Chaos vs Space Marine grudgematch today ended 23-19 when Brother Grazieel decimated the chaos team with a heavy bolter.

Afterwards the Chaos Coach Zhuriel the Damned stated "If we weren't ideologically in favor of cheating we'd complain about this""

1. I don't like preachers. Blech. =)

2. That's a good point about the MMs in the Immolator. I just figured that it would be getting up close anyhow.

3. I hadn't thought of a Redemptor Priest. Doh.

4. This isn't the army list that I'm going to use for a cult of flame...I'm just playing with the SOB army list as a result of using it (potentially).

In the end, I'm less than enthusiastic about the SOB army list than I was when I started.
