Horus Heresy: Sons of Horus Army List First Draft

 

Received an email today from the events team that they are holding another Heresy event in November and its two dayer 3000 points. So have the time booked off with her indoors, so thought was time to draft out my first army list 

HQ	POINTS
Abaddon	250
5 Justaerin Terminators	275
Multi-Melta	25
Cataphractii Praetor	135
Magna Combi-weapon	10
Paragon Blade	15
	710

I have an idea that i saw on Instareddwer for an Abbandon conversion but I do love his stats as a leader for the army.

TROOPS	POINTS
Tactical Squad	100
Nuncio Vox	10
Power Sword	10
Plasma Pistol	10
Rhino	35
Dozer blade	5
Tactical Squad	100
Nuncio Vox, Vexilla	20
Chain Bayoney	20
Power Sword Plasm	20
Tactical Squad	100
Nuncio Vox, Vex	20
Bayonet	10
Power Hammer	10
Flamer	2
Tactical Support Squad	145
Rotor Cannons	50
Vox, Vex	20
	687

Troops are built from the starter box with some rotor cannons added as some support. one unit in a rhino to rush forward to take an hold an objective.

ELITES	POINTS
10 Cataphractii	325
Two Lightning Claws	100
Spartan	350
Contemptor Dread	175
Gravis AutoCAnnon	10
	960

The Elites are coming in at nearly a third of points. I do think that the Spartan is expensive for what it can do but there is a need for some heavy weapons in the army. But the spartan could be the first item to be dropped from the army if points are tight.

HEAVY	POINTS
Heavy Support	100
Vox, Vex	20
Heavy Support	100
Missile Launcher	25
Vox, Vex	20
Kratos	300
Sponson Volk	15
Hull F,R,L Volk	5
Leviathan	270
Siege Drill	5
	860

Heavy choices are what I have from the box set, the Kratos and the Leviathan I picked up at the weekend.

The army at the moment is 217 points over so I am prob going to trim out the Spartan to start off with and an in some more troops, But have a test game coming up in a months time so I can see how I want my army to play. At the moment my idea is to engage the opponent over the objectives.

Next post up this week will be showing the progress made on the army so far. 

Anyone else heading to the event?
