CHALLENGE: 40k Gladiator


By Suneokun.

Just a quick challenge to keep everyone on their toes ... unfortunately no prizes, but you do get the satisfaction and knowledge that you have come up with the winning option. Just like the BBC I have avowed giving away prizes as the cat got the wrong name...

As you may be aware from the previous post, I'm very pleased with my invention 40k Gladiator. In this game I've deployed Stealth Teams and a Carnifex and had some good fun. What I would like to be is inspired by all the codici I don't know as well...

So the challenge is ... choose 1-2 units totalling 150pts. You can choose any unit/s that you feel would work well in a gladitorial game. Nothing is excluded, but you get more points for 'balanced-fair' forces. Remember that the choices must be able to take on all comers and be able to cope with anything from light tanks (Chimera's, Rhino's etc) to Carnifi and everything below.

Accolades will be awarded on my return from Cornwall in 2 weeks time, with various winners for best organised, most balanced, best fluffed etc.

If you have a photo of the unit or units you propose, please link a post in for additional points...

Remember 40k Gladiator is about 3-8 players deploying 150pts units and each controlling the unit. You need to deal with those other units without attracting too much 'heat' from all the other players. So balance IS the key...

Good luck, and may the force be with you ... always.
