Alpha strike force recs for 200 point game?
« on: 11 March 2023, 18:14:19 »
Hello I am playing my first alpha strike game for 200 points. I will be facing an equal points force of either fed suns or smoke jags, I would like your suggestions for a force I can build. I am a mainly a blood spirit fan so I have a collection of mainly heavy to assault clan 2nd line clan general and a pretty good selection of early clan and SLDF units.

Bearing that in mind what would you recommend for a 200 point game?

2/3 TMM, low long range damage, high medium damage and the more armor you can get the better. Skill 4 is hitting at 8/9 on medium range, so it’s not too bad.
At 200 it’s a little low for skill upgrades and clan mechs.


Elementals also help keep your PV down, and can be a big annoyance with their medium range damage and effectively +3 tmm (regular TMM, jumping bonus, and BA/small target bonus).
NCKestrel’s new favorite.

I like this list a lot but I could perhaps swap the gargoyle for a woodsman for extra zombie flavor

The Gargoyle H is 50 PV and the Woodsman C is 49.

The Woodsman isn't on the Blood Spirit faction list but don't let that stop you from using it.

Clans will disagree but family and friends should come first

I love the woodsman but the models arms are a bit odd to swap out. I wonder if the alt executioner arms would fit…

I didn't know BA got a +1 TMM bonus for being small, cool.

Since you're a Blood Spirit fan and have access to a variety of Clan units, you've got some interesting options. Consider mixing heavy and assault Clan mechs for firepower, and maybe add in some early Clan and SLDF units for versatility. It really depends on your playstyle and strategy, so experiment and have fun!

That’s exactly why I love the spirits!
