Br.Pat Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Someone suggested equipping my scouts with shotguns and using them in the Storm in a drive-by roll... While this is certainly very cool... Isn't the max range of shotguns 12" ... meaning that the enemy can charge them next turn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sinaris Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 More importantly, they can rapid-fire away your pretty speeder. Assaulting wouldn't be advisable, since you wouldn't disembark your scouts from the speeder. It really only works as long as you are sure to eliminate something so as not to threaten your speeder next turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Its very hard to take down a speeder that moved simply by assaulting it, whether you use bolters or shotties the scouts count as having moved if the speeder had. So its best to use shotties as they have the advantage of being able to assault on top of shooting twice. To be honest if you sent them out against a unit they wont last long, you need to use them along side a more dangerous unit that would take most of the attention, or used with a heavy flamer the LSS can be used to flush units out of cover, infact they are perfect for killing enemy scouts..

rockdeity Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think this would work if you picked the right target but it's backwards. Use bolters on them if you drive-by, shotguns or bp+ccw if you plan to assault with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you understand, bolters and shotties are exactly the same in terms of drive by's, they both have 12" range and shoot twice, the shotties give you the option to assault on top making use of the LSS cerberus launchers, its all about versatility and control..

rockdeity Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 bolters or bolt pistols are potentially better at AP5. Point taken, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
