Konstand Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Latley, I have been upgrading my 1500 point Dark Angels list to an 1850 list. I would like to use inducted which hunters as part of the force to make up ground where I am weak; against hordes. The list as it stands now: HQ: Belial with attack banner and apothocary Troops: 2 assault terminator squads with 4 Twin lightning claws and one heavy famer/chainfist for each squad. (they are troops because of my HQ choice) Eleites: NONE Fast attack: 1 Dominion squad with imolator. 1 melta and 3 flamers. Heavy support: 1 vindicator with dozer blade 1 land raider crusader 1 regular land raider I need to figure out what kind of troops to spend the remaining 440 points on. It will either be 2 squads of inquisitorial storm troopers with an upgraded chimera each or 2 squads of roughly 15 sisters on foot or 2 squads of 10 sisters in a rhino. Help and comments would be greatly appriciated. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toogeloo Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Battle Sister Squad 10 Sisters with: Veteran, Combi-Flamer, Book of St Lucius, Meltabombs, Flamer, Heavy Flamer In a Rhino with: Extra Armor, Smoke Launchers Total Points: 220 2 of those will take care of your anti-horde issues and still be able to deal with most threats.

Konstand Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 seems like the concensus is sisters in a rhino. Out of curiosity, why would someone want to take stormtroopers if they are only 1 point cheaper? There has to be some reason. Is it the option to take the chimera? I was thinking, if I loaded up 10 with 2 grenade launchers in a chimera that includes a multi lazer and a heavy bolter, that would be at least 8 strength 6 shots per squad if it stayed put. Also, I notice that the IG chimera says it has 6 hull mounted lazgun points operated by the passengers for their chimera. The Which Hunters version does not mention this in the transport entry, but in the fluff portion right next to the entry, it mentions the lazguns in the side of the inquisitorial chimera. Another strange thing is that the Which Hunters chimera has 2 fire points instead of the 1 that the IG version has. I guess the question is: Does the W/H chimera include the hull mounted lazguns it talks about in the fluff or did GW miss something? As far as the fluff reasons go, I tell people one of the fallen began assembling a group of believers on a planet and telling them the the emperor was not a god, but merely a man. An inquisitor arrived on planet to burn heretics, but was overwhelmed and killed by fanatical subjects. The deathwing arrived shortly afterand inducted the remaining inquisitorial forces for support as they hunt the falen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The only reason to take stormies is because they can equip plasmaguns. For all intents and purpose they're a second class choice and the only reason they'd be picked aside from the cheap plasmaguns is for fluff reasons.

madtroll Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 plasmaguns are the main reason. You get two BS4 plasmaguns for 70 points. Could be real brutal. They make great antitank throwaways too. If your expecting lots of high armor then make several 5 man squads with 2 meltaguns each and zoom them forward in rhinos / chimeras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstand Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I can see how plasma guns might be useful there. I am still curious however, does the which hunter chimera come with the hull mounted lazguns that are in the IG codex and mentioned in the fluff on the same page?

madtroll Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 yeah its the same as the IG one, even down to the crappy BS3, until the new IG book comes out :P then you'll be using an overpriced BS3 chimera :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toogeloo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Not entirely the same, the Witch Hunter version does not get the option of a Pintle Mounted Heavy Stubber making the 9 shots a turn IG Chimera (MultiLas, HM Heavy Bolter, Pintle Mounted Stubber) a little more useful.

Melissia Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Actually I think it does, at least it does according to army builder anyway... [edit: My bad, no it doesn't. Was looking at the wrong window...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
