wizard12 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 OK, now I was wondering what the point was of giving IST shotguns to make them adeptus arbrites. I already get 2 shots withing 12", and I get an extra shot a 24" on the hell gun that has a higher strengh and an AP. And I am not going to assault witchs / eldar with IST's so forget it who here's ever used the adpetus arbrites instead of IST's not for a novalty purpose? any comments Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175960-wh-adeptus-arbrites/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I would agree that the hell gun + targeter is tbh better however as these are my assault troops (I have no SoB) the shotguns are better (I'm hoping one day we will get man stopper rounds or the ones from necromunder that ignore cover) because they allow me to do that bit more damage before I charge. Also they were my bunker busting units in 4th Ed and so have 2 meltas each. Anyway if your not going to charge your right there is no point and in general they are better as IST.

archonbrujah Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Haven't used them, but wouldn't 2 flamers and pimped out judge be nice as a counter assault unit? The extra fire from the shotguns prior to assaulting could swing the tide in your favor, especially against normal T3 troops (not everyone is T4!) Otherwise, yep, hellguns are better for dakka death.

ValourousHeart Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I use them in my Psychos list. You have to put the priest somewhere... and his squad always counts as moving, so why not put assault weapons on them instead of rapid fire ones. 1000 pt list =I= lord w/ 3 HB and a storm bolter Priest w/ brazer and ev 3 x 7 IST w/ shot guns 2 x 5 arco 2 x PE 1 x Lance Strike Sounds like a dumb list... but it is really fun and surprisingly effective. One of the PE claimed a chaplain's head in my last game.

WAR Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I played a game once for fun LatD Vs arbites which turned into more of a Resident Evil as all the zombies on the board fun but the horror Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175960-wh-adeptus-arbrites/#findComment-2080319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Orlock Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I've used them. As mentioned above, shotguns are compatible with the priest drawback, and thus my Arbite squad tends to accompany my Arcoflagellants on to the field.

Lord Lorne Walkier Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Well the Adeptus Arbrites Look much cooler then Storm troopers. Make really cool retinue also. Use wise they are not much diff from the ST other then they can Assault if needed. People may treat them diff if they are unfamiliar with them, as a small bonus.
