I Want My C’Tan!

Must….resist….C’Tan…

I’ve always been a fan of the C’Tan, who could resist playing a living god on the table. Even now with them bound and subjugated via fluff-nerf the call is strong…

Speaking of themed lists can we build a list using three C’Tan with a theory to make them work on the table?

Lots of problems with this list, and multiple C’Tan in general, but let’s give it a go- besides I’ve got three C’Tan hanging around anyway so it has to happen at some point anyway.

For ‘Crons of almost any list two things are mandatory- scarabs and the Stormlord- especially with the C’Tan. C’Tan are big targets that can’t get hidden so I’m going to need night fight to protect them from psybolt spam dreads and long fang spam in the back for as long as I can. With that I also want a chrono cryptek for stormlord.

I also need my opponent to be on foot so when my C’Tan assault they have something to actually assault- being sort of slow means I can’t waste their time demeching. Stormlord helps a bit with this randomly with the lightning strike, but as always it’s up to scarabs. Since I’m not spawning or farming them I need the full complement of 30 to start with, and even that has me holding my breath a bit.

So this is the buy in before we even get to the C’Tan themselves! Oh, and I should also say it gets even worse since I’m working at 1750 points and not 2000. Can you guess why? Events mid January…

C’Tan are both passive and active, and two can work well- one who is an assault beast- like the old Nightbringer, and one who is a trickster like the Deceiver- with worldscape and redeploy.

But what about the third? Since I can’t double up on powers the final C’Tan is really lackluster- and if you are plinking down 185 points base I want to at least get something out of him. What this means is that the gimped C’Tan is going to be bait for the other- throw him out first and forward to soak up shots for the other two.

And finally my troops…ugh, only points for small warrior groups who won’t be doing much other then objectives.

Tactical overview?

Keep night fight up as long as possible, send the scarabs first wave, gimped C’Tan next, then my two C’Tan backed by warriors who then scatter for objectives.

This is a list you play just because you can, not for any other reason.

Time for your thoughts- forget WAAC, “competitive”, etc…

You HAVE to take three C’Tan- what do you do, why, and how…

GO!
