My Pet Rock

I’ll admit it: I like rock lists in 40k.  I like deathstars in Fantasy.  I suffer under no delusion that this is the most competitive way to play either system.  When I play in actual tournaments I tend to play balanced lists, but my heart belongs to one trick ponies.  Maybe I’m a dick, but my ideal of fun is smashing my unit of TH/SS Terminators into your army and letting them wreck havoc. 

There is just something sublimely fun about saying, “All my cards are on the table and my threats are displayed: deal with it or die.”  Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t.  Either way I have fun.  I would say I make no apologies about this, but technically this post is an apology.

So how do I build my rock lists?  For the past year and a half I’ve been playing Black Templars because I like re-rolls even more than I like rocks.  But that’s a story for another day.

[So there are the troops I like for BT these days.  Can other armies do razorspam better?  Ofcourse.  But  the las/plas BT razorsquad isn’t bad for the points at all.  Crusaders such at Rhinospam, and they suck in close combat.  This is it for BT troop choices.]

[In case we didn’t have enough lascannons this will take care of it.  Our lascannon total is now 17.  That’s serious alpha strike potential.  But what we need now is an ability to project melta and kill troops.]

So it has some glaring weaknesses.  The army has trouble with Orks more than most other codices, actually.  KFF gives the list fits.  The list isn’t scared of Nobs, but the KFF will keep the transports alive long enough to put Boyz in your back lines and then you lose because the Terminators can’t do all the heavy lifting. 

Despite being a dual rock, it’s relatively well balanced and capitalizes on the ancient codex' strengths.   Now tell me how much it sucks and how much I suck for posting a bad rock list.
