heretic??ME?? Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Heh up was just in the middle of converting a landraider Prometheus for my radical daemon hunter lord (Juvan Melcanus) and read the new rules. Obviously missing the +1 on reserve rolls from the old days but the battle auspex rules are looking like a tasty way to deal with scum hiding behind cover.

jeffersonian000 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Other than the 270pt price tag, the Prometheus seems like an okay way of giving an Inquistor more dakka; Ordo armies can field 4 of them in a single FOC, so versus hordes and/or drop armies they seem like a good buy. On a personal note, I've been working up a set of scratch-built quad heavy bolters for my Land Raider, just to try a Prometheus out. We shall see.

Eddie Orlock Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Having played the Prometheus with my marines Monday, I can tell you, I enjoy the idea of being statistically likely to slay an entire guard squad in a turn should they be so foolish as to be caught in the open. For such unfortunates, the auspex makes going to ground useless. Also, It wasn't +1 to reserves, it was once a turn, re-roll a reserve roll. Potentially more flexible, as you could choose to attempt to delay reserves.

Sister Rosette Soulknyt Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Ive had one of these coverted for my Inquistor for a while and with the new rules i like the Battle Auspex better. Denying them a +1 on there cover save is so much better. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177392-ia-2-update/#findComment-2098030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
heretic??ME?? Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 yes they are going to be very tasty indeed......... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177392-ia-2-update/#findComment-2099097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justicar Valius Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 i might be tempted into one for the sheer amount of dakka they dish out and those pesky guard aren't going to have a stupidly good cover save to help them out... Just think if your opponent deep struck a stormtrooper squad down behind some railing (4+ armour 6+ cover) FIRE! Bye bye AP3 people! Ahh that would be nice 8 hits 7 or 6 wounds with nos saves....
