Wulfen Lord Leo Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Ill ask for everyone else, what kind of army do you use? And only really worry about Jungle fighters if your fighting a jungle battle, otherwise treat them like gaurd with 6+ saves, and no way of penetrating av14 without meltas. And sniper rifles. But DO worry if your playing jungle, cause thats were they excel.

Tfcdogbert Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Generically, flamers, meltas, men, by the truckload, if you must take tanks take small ones that can do CC like dreadnaughts, flying units are useful so raptors with two flamers, Daemon princes are very hard for IG to deal with if you get them stuck in so get wings and possibly something like wind of chaos to template of doom them, warptime isnt neccesary against IG, one nasty thing is gift of chaos, versus toughness three your gonna be doing it a lot and getting units against spawn is very hard on IG, T5, equal weapon skill, your going to be keeping that unit from shooting for a while. Thats generic advise as a whole for jungle fighting. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/131635-catachans/#findComment-1516297 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blamb Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 lots of shots that beat their armour. heavy bolters and flamers will do the job, maybe a few armour penetrating weapons to take out a hell hound if they got one.

KLAND Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 thnx for the response here is a list of what ive got chaos lord arhiman i think thats it cypher fabius bile havoc squad 3 oblitorators 2 preadators 2 rhinos dreadnought 20 berzerkers 8 raptors 5 noisemarines 10 terminators 8 bikers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/131635-catachans/#findComment-1516896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfen Lord Leo Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Ok, Cypher has no current rules, Youll have to choose between the lord, Arhiman and Faubis Bile Noise marines will be usefull, flamer weapons work well against cover after all. The Bezekers will be good too, assulting IG is almost always a good thing. If its a Jungle fight, leave the rihno's, Preds and Bikers at home, theyll get destroyed too easily. Raptors can jump OVER terrain and thus are very usefull. The Dread avoids the vehicle rules in terrain, so its another good add. The Havoks stay at home unless they're equipped with assult weapons (flamers/Meltas) The Termis can form a retinue for the Lord, so take them too. Thats everything.

Tfcdogbert Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Im seconding what wolf lord Leo has said, listen to the wisdom of the long fanged one :D. One thing i will say is terminators, in close quarters the IG have meltaguns and plasma, despite that i think that with intelligent maneuvering, you can keep them out of harms way long enough to charge and clear out with the heavy flamer, and perhaps an autocannon to crack open sentinels, the average imperial guardsmen will have serious trouble taking them down with his lasgun or bayonet, or even his flamer, missile launcher, or indeed grenade launcher.

I should change my name, I dont play wolves anymore... If its a jungle fight, take lots of flamer weapons, dont worry about vehicles unless their sentinals (I think they have AV 10 all round so even a bolter can take it out).

DuskRaider Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Know what I always wanted to do? Play an Apoc game against Catachans in their jungle enviro, and drop a Plant Bomb. Kill all the foliage >:-). Seriously, just treat them like normal IG. They don't really bring tanks, like others said, and Sentinels are easy to take down.

wolf 000 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 it depends on what terain your fighting on because if its jungle they get alot of special abilitys like booby traps demolition teams and a person called sly marble also there are codex settings for them the standard ig codex and the catachan one if in jungle no lascannons but in ig one no lascannons but they can use tanks and all the guard armour Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/131635-catachans/#findComment-1536987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
