So some of you may remember my old Methalor Penal Legion army I made for the Macharian Crusade. With the new IG book I decided it was time to revamp and touch up the old guys. The list I made ended up being pretty different in form than my old list, but it seems like a lot of fun.
HQ
Primaris Psyker 70
Primaris Psyker 70
These guys seems like a blast. I load them up in the Valks with some Veterans and they get to blow 4d6 S 6 shots on the flank. If it's a MC or vehicle then they'll re-roll to hit thanks to Bastonne and the 'Take it Down!' order.
Troops
Penal Legion 80
Penal Legion 80
Penal Legion 80
These just seem like a natural choice for this army. The fact that they are stubborn, can outflank, and can roll some really cool abilities just sweetens the deal.
Veterans w/ 3*Meltaguns 100
These guys load up in one of the Valkeries and try to down a vehicle on the flank with their meltas.
Veterans w/ 3* Grenade Launchers, Missle Launcher, Powerfist 115
These guys control my backfield and take pot shots.
Veterans w/ 3*Plasmaguns, Grenadiers, Bastonne 205
These guys hang out with the Psykers, issue orders to themselves, and contest and hold far objectives.
Fast Attack
2*Valkyries w/ 1*multiple rocket pods, 1*Lascannon 245
I suppose these have been explained pretty clearly in the other entries, but I have to give a shout out to the multiple rocket pods, they are awesome.
2*Banewolves w/ Heavy flamer, Smoke Launchers 270
2*Banewolves w/ Heavy flamer, Smoke Launchers 270
These squadrons are really, really killy. In a game Thursday a group of them destroyed a twenty man combined Infantry squad, and today one of the squadrons killed an entire Thousand Sons squad. They do the most damage in the list.
Heavy Support
Demolisher w/ Hull Heavy Bolter, Plasma cannon sponsons 205
Demolisher w/ Hull Lascannon, Multimelta sponsons 210
These guys can do a few things for the list. Foremost they attract alot of fire and are very resilient. They are also this lists main way to kill 2+ armour.
That's it.
