Lord Morgrim Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I am going to adda unit of raptors to my Tzeentch list and as result I would like to give them the icon so that everything that can be is marked with Tz in the army....is it worth giving to them?.....i like the idea of the Inv Save on them to give them surviviability........with 2 meltas in the unit they could be good for armour hunting.....

JamesI Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I use raptors with Icon of Tzeentch as a bodyguard for my lord on disk. Works well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/140545-icon-of-tz-on-raptors/#findComment-1624029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roultox Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The glaring drawback of a marine is the inability to deflect blows that bypass their armor. That icon is arguably the most worthy icon to give a melee unit that has a decent armor save for basic blows and AP weapons. If you want them to survive against melee monster armies with lots of power weapons, and to make use of mobility to stop monsters at oppertune times or hold them in place while a power fist whacks it down or kills an HQ with few left, then its a good idea. Any icon is good though, to tell the truth. (I like nurgle icons in a full raptor unit of 20, its almost like killing 20 bikers) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/140545-icon-of-tz-on-raptors/#findComment-1624043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneris Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Go for it- with the 5th edition removing partial hits, we're apt to get hit by more templates that ignore our armor. A 5+ invuln. may not sound like much, but if you can save at least ONE meltagunner...

the jeske Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 in the 5th you may lose the icon very fast and its not reelly that hard to get a +4 cover [and I dont mean by that the stupid rule "if we both argue about cover unit gets +4cover] . I would rather go with khorn or slanesh . more or faster attacks are going to be very important in the 5th .
