Spacefrisian Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Just wondering if anybody has done this. I'am tempted to take on with simple equipment eg Heavybolter sponses and Hullmounted Hbolter (195). The idea behind it would be more like "look what i can take" rather than being usefull.

LPetersson Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 In that case, hell yeah, go for it :) I keep wanting to finish mine purely so I can field it...

GunnarRedsun Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 i actually use mine with some regularity in 1k points. i generally field it with the ven dread to great sucess, as most people aren't prepared to see more than a dread, and most don't know much about the exterminator, and so it tends to take a lot of fire, which at 1k points it can usually take well. this generally leaves my blood claws in much better condition when they get in, and i find to be quite effective, but as always thats just me :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162366-exterminator-in-1k-points/#findComment-1908190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Personally, I would take 2 Destructors instead - they're only 170pts combined, and put out more fire. Also, they can fire on seperate targets and will require concerted fire on both to destroy.

Grey Mage Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If your going to throw down for it you might as well get the extra armor and make it a nice round 200pts.

TheLastHuzzah Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I would tend to agree with Vassakov, if you are dropping the points anyways, why not throw a PMSB to each destructor...2 tanks that will combine for 20 shots. You get 11 (13 with a PMSB) from the exterminator, the extra point front armor (side as well?) does not make up for 7 additional shots. -Huzzah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162366-exterminator-in-1k-points/#findComment-1908549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF4i Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yep, 2 pintle SB Preds>LRE in most circumstances. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162366-exterminator-in-1k-points/#findComment-1908772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Though 2 Destructers might be better but it won't have the "what the" thing with those who don't know much about Spacewolves.

GunnarRedsun Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 indeed, and plasma guns can take care of the preds with enough shots (though it is much greater now than before, but it can still be done) while they can't touch the front armor of the LRE. Also, one krak can kill the pred, can't the LRE, and most people don't have lots of las cannons in 1k. plus come on dude, the LRE is so much cooler looking than the pred :lol:, plus its so wolfy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162366-exterminator-in-1k-points/#findComment-1909002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. A. K. Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I've always liked the style of the LRE, lots of shots with lots of armor. I hope in our new dex we get all the things rumored to be on the new russes for IG: ie. AV 14 13 11, sponsons shoot as defensive weapons. A guy can always hope...
