terminatorAM Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I play a mobile/mech army where everything is either in a transport or jump packs. usually i ignor the slow monsterouse cratures and move around them (usually wraithlords) but with the new nids dex soon approaching and several nidzilla lists played at my local hobby shop coupled w/ my neverending quest for the perfectly competitive while remaining balanced list idea, i need something that will help kill the MCs. I have heard sniper scouts are great but they go against the whole mobile thing so theyre out, i know sternguard work great when podded but seem to be a one-hit-wonder. So the question is what works best for the mobile marine? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182414-anti-monsterouse-creature/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 You'll want to stay stationary in your transports when you can, and fire your heavy weapons from the firepoints at one monster, until it's dead. It's a stick-and-move game. You know the gribblies will be moving around to cut off your escape route, so it might be best to split your tanks into two groups, to ensure you always have a firable threat. Extra stormbolters on Rhinos might be a good plan, too. Two shots a turn isn't much, but four can actually put some casualties on the gribblies while your heavies fire at the big boys. The squad inside and the Rhino can fire at separate units! (BRB FAQ). Hunter-killer missiles are one-shot deals, but they are unlimited range krak shots. They might be good for an opening salvo against anything large and out of cover. What sort of mobile fire support are you using? Predators are the tank of choice for an all-mech force. Vindicators have too short a range to be safe from a MC charge. Also take a look at the Thunderfire Cannon. It isn't mobile, but for its points, it's worth sitting in a commanding position and just dropping rounds on the MCs or the gribblies, using different shells as needed. Razorbacks have a lot of good options for MC killing. The Stronos variant (las/TL-plas) is expensive, but can put the hurt on an MC.
