It's a well rounded force, but you may need more infantry and I see no dreadnoughts ?

Hi guys, I'm putting togethor a blue print for my space marine epic force. ?I brought the forces back when I had a grandiose dream of assembling an entire Spece Marine chapter. ?My aspirations are slightly more down to earth this time around. ? I am envisioning a smaller battle company sized force, supported by vehcile and elite units but not many of any one kind. ?This is a elite support to my IG regiment. I was wondering if it's a strong pool of forces to make army list up to 5000 points. ?I most concerned with the fact that I have enough tacticals. ?Here is a listing of forces. Teminator Det - Landraiders - Supreme Commander Tactical Det in Rhinos - Hunter - Commander Tactical Det in Rhinos - Hunter - Commander Scout Det - Sniper - Commander Assault Det - Commander Devastator Det - Razorbacks - Hunter Bike Det (1) - Commander Bike Det (2) - Assault Bikes x5 (I have a lot of these guys) Landspeeder Det (1) Landspeeder Det (2) - Tornado x3 - Typhoon x2 Predator Det Vindicator Det Whirlwind Det - Hunter Thunderhawks x3 Imperial Navy and Titan legion support are already avialable. What you think. ? Thanks and take care |

Are you planning to field it all, or is that just what you want to have to choose from? It's a good list either way. I see it as a full battle company and the 8th (assault guys on bikes/speeders) company with strong support. My marine army is very similar, but with 2 battle companies, so I should like it.

It's the pool to draw from. ? The landspeeders have been reduced to one formation of 5 Tornados (old models) after checking the model inventory again and I have 4 dreadnoughts to distribute as I see fit. I was just worried that 2 tacticals was enough of a core of infantry. Thanks |

I would strongly reccommend a couple more. They are some of the most versatile units in the game & from what I've seen, you cant have enough In my playtest games recently, I've basically started to use Tacticals as my main force, adding other units simply to keep the game interesting (an all tactical army could probably defeat most foes, but would be boring as hell to play either with or against!) However, if this pool is drawn upon for small games (2K and under) then 2 will be enough. |

Start with a a regimental command company, a tank company and an artillery company then get formations to suit. Getting an infantry upgrade for the tank company is always an idea, just make sure they have chimeras to mobilise them! A couple of hydras, definately one with the artillery, a SH tank always goes down a treat, if you have points to spare another IG inf company for garrisoning or even storm troopers in valkries would be useful. |

Take a look on the Epic forums Here There are quite a few threads about starting armies in the tactics and forces section that should help. |

Theres a bit about this in the April White Dwarf magazine. As noted on this board (somewhere), buying models from Forge World can work out cheaper. I'm going to get a couple of boxes of infantry, 7 Chimeras, a Leman Russ company & an artillery company from GW and my Baneblades and shadowswords from Forge World. Furgie |
