Craignum2 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 So, I'm putting together a list which includes 5 scouts riding in a landspeeder storm. I was going to arm the scouts with CCW and 2 shotguns, but I've gotten a number of suggestions to arm all 5 scouts with shotguns. This seems alright, seeing as they can all shoot out of the open-topped storm, and still pump out 2 shots after disembarking...then charge into assault if need be. Is this the general idea behind arming all 5 with shotguns. Would anyone vouch for the CCWs in this situation? Thanks, -C2 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162386-ls-storm-5-scouts-all-shotguns/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 In an LSS all shotties would be more useful, perhaps adding a combi-flamer on the sergeant would aid the eventual assault. Whilst aboard it doesnt really matter whether you use bolters or shotties for drive-bys, but given you want to make use of the cerberus launchers in a late game objective assault into cover then shotties are your man, the combi-flamer still gives you 2 shots in the LSS, and the flamer can be used on the turn you assault... All in all 5 shotties in an LSS works very well, brother Taul makes them work in the tourney scene, and has nothing but compliments for them.

Bannus Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Agreed. BP and CCW in a Storm can be useful, but you are wasting the potential of the open-topped nature of the vehicle for drive-by shooting. A combi-flamer for the Sergeant (and heavy flamer for the Storm) will ensure that they can dislodge most units that they may need to fight to gain an objective.

theredcorsair Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Can be different in certain situations. In other words, will that extra shot or extra attack kill more enemies? 300th post w00t w00t Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162386-ls-storm-5-scouts-all-shotguns/#findComment-1911297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 granted, but a 5 man scout sqaud is only gunna get one charge off, they may get two or three turns pulling drive bys on some 'homies'.... IME its better with shotties and a combi-weapon...
