Skirax Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Title says it all really. I want my Malleus warriors to begin as an allied contingent, but what do I get to start? My friend recently started with them and has 8 PAGK and an Inquisitor Lord. They work well for him, however, I'm looking for a more Inquisitor+Stormtrooper army, but if others say PAGK is the way,then I'll go with them... Basically, what do I get to start? I have the Codex: Now bring me some men! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165165-looking-to-start-deamonhunters/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutt-Man! Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 What most will tell you is to start here. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=101214 That is the core of many a GK player's tactic gallery. For my personal tastes, I would run with two units of stormies using meltas, so my heavy support isnt so relied upon for tank hunting. Dont be shy with their str6 melee weapons (All melee is conducted at the rear of the tanks, front for walkers and few walkers have AV13+ to be immune to you) Hope this helps.

Simoleo-Brother marine Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Following in my footsteps are you Skirax? :D From what I know about your marine army, I would say you should go for a unit or two of stormtroopers as you really need some more shooty units. A chimera to transport them could also be useful. -Simoleo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165165-looking-to-start-deamonhunters/#findComment-1943668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirax Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yes Simoeleo, I was looking over the Deamonhunters codex and i liked the many, many nice rules. I had waned an Imperial Guard allied force, but since you can't have them, I thought DHST are probably better, cos I want them to represent chosen for inducting into the Chapter...So yeah, thanks guys. @Mutt-Man! I have seen that before, thanks! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165165-looking-to-start-deamonhunters/#findComment-1943768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Fox Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yes Simoeleo, I was looking over the Deamonhunters codex and i liked the many, many nice rules. I had waned an Imperial Guard allied force, but since you can't have them, I thought DHST are probably better, cos I want them to represent chosen for inducting into the Chapter... One thing to consider for this purpose, is the use of Witch Hunters IST's instead of Daemon Hunters, being that you can arm them with shotguns instead of hellguns. Granted neither weapon is all that great (especially if the rumors about the new IG hellguns are true and the Inquisition does NOT get an update, which is likely... and Inquisition shotguns are only strength 3). The point being then you'd have troop choices of fairly cheap, 4+ armor save models armed with shotguns... And get to just modify some Scout models or something ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165165-looking-to-start-deamonhunters/#findComment-1944153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 May I ask why you want to use IST over SM Scouts? If you stick with Scouts you get Troops with S/T4, ATSKNF, and they benefit from whatever Chapter Tactics your Main SM army uses. IST would only get you Plasma/Meltaguns you could get on Tac Squads anyway. Unless you really like Chimera's I don't see the reason to use IST in a SM army. Inquisitors are a good choice to ally in, they get access to some very usefull Wargear/Retinue (Well, Old Style PH, Null Rods and Mystics really), as are Assassin, or either Type of GK. As they all give you something you can't get in your Codex. But I don't see the draw for IST at all.

Skirax Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Have changed my mind: Want WH rather than DH, and i want to start with this: 2x 10 Battle Sisters w/ Stormbolter and Flamer as allies.

Aidoneus Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Have changed my mind: Want WH rather than DH, and i want to start with this: 2x 10 Battle Sisters w/ Stormbolter and Flamer as allies. Better with melta/flamer. Otherwise, those are solid choices. Make sure to get those vet superiors for Faith.
