Siege of Ambrose House Salamander List

  Hi again, Abe here.
  So, over the festive period myself and Daveco decided to continue our ongoing personal rivalry that has been running for well over 20 years at this point.

Not picutred: Empty mountain dew bottles and passive agression

    I know that he has posted already and has given a rough outline of the scenario that we will be using but I will add a few extra points here and there.
  Due to the nature of our game it was agreed before hand that I would be splitting my force, using rougly 500 points to defend the mansion and the remander coming on in support left me in a minor quandry. For those who are unaware Salamanders aren't exactly the speediest force in the world but they do excel at being tough as old boots and deadly at close range.

  Firstly I decided to build a force that could take some punishment and survive until reinforcements can arrive, although that always isn't possible with only 500 points to play with

  Defending force:
  HQ:

• Primus Medicae Jareth (3) - artifice armour, refractor field, power sword and  master crafted weapon = 135

  Elites:

• Terminator squad Nocturns Shield (13) - 5 terminators, plasma blaster, 2x power fists, 2x lightning claws, sergeant with thunder hammer, dragonscale storm shield, grenade harness and master crafted weapon = 245

  Total = 530

  Chosen - standard, 2x power fists, plasma pistols = 105
  Rhino = 35  
• Chaplin cor'tan (11) - power maul, artificer armour, refractor field, scimitar jetbike and master crafted weapon = 185  

  Troops:

• Breacher squad The Anvil (5) - 20 breachers, 2x graviton guns, sergeant with artificer armour, thunder hammer and master crafted weapon = 385
• Deathfire Pyroclasts (8) - 5 pyroclasts, warden, power weapon, master crafted weapon = 200
  land raider Pax Mortem - pintle mounted heavy flamer = 235

• Support squad Drakes Wrath (6) - 5 marines with meltas, sergeant with bolter and augry scanner and artificer armour = 170 

   Elites:

• Veteran Squad Nocturnes Pride (2) - 10 veterans, 2x flamers, combi flamer, 3 volkite serpentas, sergeant with inferno pistol, artificer armou, power fist and master crafted weapons all with marksmen = 250
  rhino = 35
• Terminator squad Nocturnes Sword (9) - 5 terminators, 4x power fists, reaper autocannon sergeant with a pair of lightning claws, master crafted = 225
• Contemptor Mortis Oth'hilo (10) - x2 lascannons = 185

  Fast Attack:

• Jetbike Sky hunter squadron  Vulcans Fury (11) - 6 jetbikes x2 muli-meltas, melta bombs, sergeant with power fist and master crafted weapon = 325

We also added some additional units and rules for a little flavour, we added the govenor (who will be counted as an objective in this game) and some defensive units.

The govenor and his retinue

Governor Miles Von Strann

The governor is a former Imperial army commander once attached to the Salamanders Legion. He was once a heroic figure within the Imperial Army but accepted the position of this worlds Governor thirty-five years ago. He is old but his mind is sharp and he is more than capable of defending his own home.
