Mosk Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I saw a post by someone about an immolator spam army. I am curious how such an army would work. Would it be similar to this? HQ- Cannoness- w/ 5 celestians w/ various weapons what not and mounted in immolator (with what weapons?) Cannoness- w/ 5 celestians w/ various weapons what not and mounted in immolator (with what weapons?) Elite- 6 celestians w/ various weapons and upgrades and mounted in immolator (w/ what weapons?) 6 celestians w/ various weapons and upgrades and mounted in immolator (w/ what weapons?) 6 celestians w/ various weapons and upgrades and mounted in immolator (w/ what weapons?) If not for 3 celestians, atleast as many as I can get^^^ Troops- At least two (cause I gotta) SoB with various upgrades mounted in rhino Fast Attack- As many immolators packed with dominions as possible Heavy Support- Either 3 exorcists (which I would rather not do ti seems a bit cheesy) or 2 exorcists and 1 more immolator with rets that would be dropped off. I am looking to have atleast 2 rhinos, 2 exorcists, and 6 immolators (right there I am looking at around 900 points in just vehicles. (plus about 1500 hundred (just estiment) in troops so this would obviously have to be atleast a 2500-3000 point army) Now before posting, this would just be a for fun army list to play. How I would use this is to run my troops to a point to capture, or table corner ect. and then run my immolators straight into battle. If needed I can also (sadly) lower the ammount of immolators, but I want as many of them as I can have :P So any advice and Ideas?

Melissia Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 For ehavy support slots, you could do a squad of Retributors in immolators with a pair of exorcists. I'd reccomend heavy flamers on the immolators myself. But then, I thinkd the upgrades to be unfortunately pricy consideringt hey're only TLHBs and TLMMs. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156847-immolator-spam-army-ideas/#findComment-1834056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosk Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Sonds like a decent army... hmm, immolater spam with a flying nun of doom would be fun methinks. What would you use the flying nun for? Would you use it with seraphem, because that kinda defeats the purpose of what I was trying to do with this army, but I think that an army of immolators, some sisters, and seraphem would be killa.

Wulfen Lord Leo Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 With the Seraphiam, they would be A. extra tankbusting, B. anti tankbusting (to lessen the chances of Immolator destruction and C. Delivary system for The flying nun. Team that up with all the Immolators, and you have a deadly combo.

panbient Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Either 3 exorcists (which I would rather not do ti seems a bit cheesy) but NINE immolators wouldn't be cheesy??? :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156847-immolator-spam-army-ideas/#findComment-1834410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Immolators have only 11 frontal armor, they're fairly easy to take down. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156847-immolator-spam-army-ideas/#findComment-1834933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pratch Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I agree with Melissia. Immolators are basically the equivalent of a razorback and with rear AV10, anything is possible. I've seen razorbacks immobilised by a bolt pistol before, so it's not impossible that a similar thing could happen here. There are plenty of weapons that can take out an immolator, or at least immobilise it. Once an Immolator is immobilised, it loses it's advantage of being able to move 12 inches and shoot. If they're armed with heavy flamers, it renders them useless unless a stupid enemy decides to get within flamer range. I understand the appeal of Immolator spam because it is a very powerful army if employed correctly. In a tournament, where everyone is playing to win, this type of army is very competitive. I find however, that spamming a single type of unit, in this case Immolators, is leaving yourself vulnerable. Put simply, if someone know how to easily kill the unit you spam, you're sunk. The obvious exception here are the blasted Necrons with their Monoliths. Monolith spam is going to be nasty no matter what army you use although usually it means someone hasn't put enough regular 'crons in their list and you can phase them out. Also as panbient has mentioned, like the three exorcist build, the list would seem to be rather cheesy (it's actually 10 immolators). It would be a lot of fun though and swarm armies such as nids should die very easily.
