Vagrant Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 flamers and heavy flamers with vulkan he'stan. i run a vulkan list and played against a team up of 'nids and orks. wasted. getting 5-7 models with a template, then rerolling wounds, and no armour safe for most of the 'nids and orks is amazing. two flamers in an assault squad maxed out at ten is amazing. bike squads with two flamers, a combi-flamer captain, and a heavy bolter attack bike also work well. what to use against chaos... i like vindicators myself, they work good against hordes like ork also. meltas work amazing for me in my vulkan list. there really is not too much a good vulkan list cant take out.

Nicsten Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thanks for the tip - now I just need to get cracking on making a Vulkan He'Stan figure! (Modelling is NOT my strongpoint!) Would you go for Hvy Flamers with the termyy squad over assault cannons? I have noticed a lot of people saying Thunderfire Cannons are the way to go for vehicles for fighting horde, I kinda wanted to get a Predator (just cos I think they look awesome really), but I see what your saying about the Vindicator as well......hmmm decisions decisions............ What about a landraider redeemer to carry a reduced unit of CC termies?

Koremu Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'd advise buying some Missile Launcher Heavies for general use against Orks.
