My friend and I will be playing this soon but I could use some suggestions for lists. I have mostly random tactical space marines and a Battle for Vedros set, so my models are pretty much:
I really don't mind proxying units for the sake of playing. But it seems like if I went with vanilla units without upgrades, the Battle Brothers look like they might have the advantage due to their Def 2+. They seem really tough to kill. So I'm thinking Orkz may need more AP based weapons or just a lot of melee attack dice. But I guess it balances out for the fact Battle Brothers will be greatly outnumbered and it will be harder to get all the objectives.
I originally thought 150 points but it seems so... limited. 200 might be more reasonable.
Battle Brothers: (Vanilla)
Total: 200 points
How would flamer work? It does A6, but does the defender get to choose where the attacks go to, like if there's a group of 3 in close proximity he could say it all goes to one model?)
Orc Maurader:
Option 2: I drop all the Melee upgrades, and give the Warlord Heavy Armor for +5pts, and add 2 more Orc for 30pts.
Total: 200pts
- 1 Space Marine Captain
- 6 Tactical Space Marines
- 1 Space Marine Terminator
- 1 Space Marine Dreadnought
- 1 Ork Warboss
- 5 Ork Nobz (are they Boss in GF?)
- 12 Ork Boyz
- 1 Ork Deffkopta

Battle Brothers: (Vanilla)
- 1 Captain 70pts
- 3 Battle Brothers 30pts x 3 = 90pts
- 1 Support Brother 40pts
Total: 200 points

Orc Maurader:
- 1 Warlord 55pts + Energy Sword 10pts = 65pts
- 6 Orc 15pts x 6 = 90pts + 6 CCW(A3) 5pts x 5 = 25 pts = 115pts
- 1 Specialist Orc = 20pts
Option 2: I drop all the Melee upgrades, and give the Warlord Heavy Armor for +5pts, and add 2 more Orc for 30pts.
