Hi once again!
This time I’m posting because I have ordered my fleet, and I’m thinking about what would be the best way to build it. I’ve ordered:
Despoiler battleship
Regular battleship
Repulsive grand cruiser
6x cruisers
9x escorts
I had a list in mind (using 2010FAQ) at 1500 points:
4 carnage
Repulsive (lances, shield)
Despoiler (warmaster, CSM crew, st4 lances and either a mark, torps or terminators)
So I still have to decide how to assemble two cruisers and the battleship, and thought I’ve made some lists, they don’t convince me.
Taking into account that I can use the carnages as murders and the escorts as whatever I like, how do you think I would have the most flexible fleet?
I had the following idea:
Desolator
2x Hecate
4x Murder
Wich has pretty good long range firepower, but the ordnance isn’t either ld10 nor CSM crewed, and I somehow feel like the desolator doesn’t do that much better than a Hades or an Acheron would.
The BS is what gives me the most trouble, because it also dictates somewhat what the cruisers will be.
The Desecrator feels like a downgrade from the desolator, so the lists would feel pretty similar, the desolator is cheap, but I feel like it doesn’t add anything I don’t have, and the Relictor looks fun and interesting, but I feel like it would need to be supported by some slaughters, so I’ll need to get some bays from my cuisers, and unless I’m proxying my carnatge/murder as slaughters I’ll need more cruisers.
This ended up slightly ranty, so sorry for the wall of text.
If you have time and enjoy building lists as much as I do, feel free to post any lists as you like that have somewhat different playstiles bit share some ships (if that’s possible), the fleet won’t arribe untill february-march (the usuall warp stuff) so I’ve got time.
Thanks for your time.
