Prototype Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I was thinking of placing an order for a Whirlwind and a Vindicator to accompany my Predator (spoken of in another thread below) in my armored vehicle army (Rhinos, Drop Pods, maybe a Dreadnought, and some tanks; I love armor :)), but I was thinking it might be better if I took like multiple of the same vehicle for redundancy purposes, or maybe I should just scrap vehicles in favor of Long Fangs. So with all that said, what do you guys usually take as your Heavy Support Choices?

Wena Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Land Raiders - One standard and one Crusader in my 1750 list :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182278-your-choice-of-heavy-support/#findComment-2156585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forseti Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm going Long Fangs all the way, but it's mostly because I've been wanting to field them for the last 7 years but couldn't find a spot for them in my old lists. But go with what you love, and if that's armour then so be it. Whirlwind and vindicators are a good choice, though Vindicators tend to work best in pairs or shielded by Raiders. If you plan on using your pred for dakka, I'd go for Long Fangs or Vindicator, if it'll be mostly for tankhunting, then Whirlwind is good.

Grey Mage Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Armored company? Yeah, keep the theme- Vindicator and Whirlwind, 210pts of templaty goodness. If you feel you need to supplement, and you might, then I heartilly reccommend some Landspeeders.

If you feel you need to supplement, and you might, then I heartilly reccommend some Landspeeders. Typhoons for their points are phenomenal. I always try and squeeze in a pair of them in all my lists.

The Forgetful Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm going with 2 Longfangs, and then a Landraider crusader if the points is enough. 2 longfangs mainly for fluff reasons. Will be playing Gunnar Red-moons company and he favours longfangs. I mean Ragnar is so mainstream and I hate eldar so that is the obvious choice <_< plus his company badge is BADASS. - Forgetful Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182278-your-choice-of-heavy-support/#findComment-2156879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasterfree Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I may actually roll with two LF units now. I did in the last game I played and may shift the weapons around so that I have dedicated AT units and AP units, and i also want to get a vindie to anchor a flank with one unit of LFs.

King Tiger Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 So with all that said, what do you guys usually take as your Heavy Support Choices? 2 vindicators with extra armour and 6 long fangs with 3 heavy bolters and 2 plasma cannons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182278-your-choice-of-heavy-support/#findComment-2156900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
megamat008 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I used to put 2 or 3 Vindis with the old Codex, but now that ML Long Fangs are cheap as chips I take two squads with 5 ML each in my 1750 list. If I had the models I'd probably field a 3rd identical squad at 2000 pts <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182278-your-choice-of-heavy-support/#findComment-2156901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Kezef Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Sunday is my regular gaming night and this week I walked into my regular 'Nid foe. The previous week my land raider list didn't doa great deal so this time I brought along a 6 man Long Fang pack with 5 Lascannons. I found they could kill a carni a turn on average rolls <_< Going to be sticking with my Long Fangs and will experiment with Vindicators next week.

RADU LYKAN Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 my current list is as follows wolf guard battle leader, frost blade, storm shield, bike 10 grey hunters, 1 power fist, 2 melta guns, 1 plasma pistol, drop pod 10 grey hunters, 1 power fist, 2 plasma guns, wolf banner, rhino 10 grey hunters, 1 power fist, 2 flamers, mark of the wulfen, rhino 6 grey hunters plasma gun, power weapon, razorback, lascannons 5 swift claws, 1 power fist predator annihilator, extra armour vindicator, siege shield, extra armour =1500 in my opinion the vindicator is a fantastic tank and is a great way to take out large groups of meqs, the annihilators lascannons are usually enough to take out whatever armour it shoots at.

karn888 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 2 vindicators and my leman russ as a counts as Predator, vindicators are grate for intimidation, few people want to get in range of their guns, unfortunately this also makes them huge targets, which is why you want 2 i normally have at least one that has horrible luck on fist turn and gets blown up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182278-your-choice-of-heavy-support/#findComment-2158122 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerian Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I am personally averse to the use of any armored vehicles (tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery) in a Space Marine force, so for me it's just Long Fangs and Land Speeders for supporting fires.
