Occult Lists « Thread Started on Oct 11, 2009, 12:42am »
So you guys have had some time to read over the Occult Expansion now it's time to see what sort of lists you guys have come up with. It's always fun to see combos that we may not have thought of. The all Rocket Trooper list still blows me away. So have at it guys.

Cool topic! I like seeing what others come up with too.
I've got two currently on the workbench.
SS Hunting Party
Elite: SS Officer, Mounted Hero, runefang, totenkopfring, rod of command Reg: Vril Engineer, vril armor, AP or Drive rune Reg: Vril Engineer, vril armor, AP or Drive rune Vet: Hellhounds Reg: Hellhounds Reg: Hellhounds
Hoodoo Strike Team
Elite: OORD Officer (Sgt. Bale from PC, gris-gris, doll, coyote totem) Vet: Hoodoo Conjurer (slave girl surrounded by conjuring stuff and a large snake) Reg: Skinwalkers (modeled as hoodoo guys wearing alligator skins) Reg: Pathfinders (modeled as black soldiers with machetes, hoodoo paraphernalia on their kits) Reg: Pathfinders (modeled as black soldiers with machetes, hoodoo paraphernalia on their kits) Green: Homunuclus (modeled as animated swamp mound)

I went for a sneaky force of infiltrating counter cultists.
Elite- OSS agent (stand in for my brit S.O.E agent), Hound Master. Veteran- MoAA agent with Rod of Might and Book of Secrets. Veteran- British Chaplain. Regular- Counter Cultists. Regular- Counter Cultists. Regular- Counter Cultists. Regular- Traded for a second Special Order.
Orders- 2x Scouts, for the MoAA agent and Chaplain so the entire force can set up Hidden.
Not much in the way of heavy firepower or numbers but a nice 'in your face' force. Should also be characterful to paint up, as a rag tag band mostly in civvies and stolen enemy uniforms.
My second is an add on to my existing British Airborne force.
Elite- Airborne Officer. Veteran- MoAA Agent. Veteran- Druid. Regular- Para Squad. Regular- Para Squad. Regular- Para Squad with Bren Gun. Regular- Para Support Squad with Vickers machine gun.
A little less 'wibbly' than the first list, but has the advantage that its all painted
As an aside, does the doggy from 'Hound Master' hero upgrade get the Hidden Deployment set up from its owner?

Although it's not a list, one thing I really want to try is an MOAA Operative with the Axe of Stamford, the Royal Shield and the Pendant of Warding, with the Mounted Hero hero type.
This gives you a badass viking on a horse with 5 CC, 4 S (8/7 on the charge!), 4 armor, berserk, stand and take it 3+, unstoppable and a 5+ invulnerable save... Sure he doesn't have a gun, but really, who cares? Just need a Chaplain to give him holy attacks and he'll easily 1-shot Vampires and Woofs.
@ Cybogoblin I really like the 2nd list. 3 Homonculi is pretty awesome. This would be especially effective in a multi-detachment game where you had a more punchy 2nd force.
A list I'm considering running: US Army Veteran: Elite OORD Agent (Medicine Bag, Loadstone, Coyote or Bear) - Archeologist Veteran Mechanic - Rocket Hero (yeah Armor 1!) Veteran Sergeant Regular GIs Regular GIs (BAR) Regular GI Tesla Gun

Now I just need to find a mini that looks like the Death Dealer and I'll HAVE to start a british army!!

I think I have an idea for a British Recon Detatchment, now

Here's an Experimental List I was toying with:
Elite: Sac'd for an additional Regular pick. Veteran: Field Doktor (Scientist) Regular: Rohlingsoldat Regular: Rohlingsoldat Regular: Blattsoldat Regular: Blattsoldat Green: Emaciated Troopers Green: Sac'd to increase either Blattsoldat or Rohlingsoldat to Veteran Green: Emaciated Troopers (free with Hero)
It's a little bit squishy looking, but idea is to have the Field Doktor hang back and strategically boost his troops with Chemical Rage.

They might help make up for the almost complete lack of ranged weaponry in the rest of the detatchment. And I could always swap one out for a Panzershreck should I come up against a more heavily armoured army (or when I just want to put a hole through a spell-caster )
