AdeptusTerminautus Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 So for our campaign, we're able to give a USR to any unit on a roll of 4+, and i was thinking, should i give mephiston infiltrate??? or is this just to brutal?

JamesI Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 that's a pretty good choice. The ability to outflank, plus deploy close is nice. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203345-too-brutal/#findComment-2424108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdeptusTerminautus Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 you can deploy 18" away in LOS so if i have first turn why not Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203345-too-brutal/#findComment-2424170 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morticon Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Its not toooo brutal - but, it is a bit obvious. ><, why dont you try for something more unusual - slow and purposeful devs - or tank hunting baals or...I dunno...something different. Suping up your super character isn't bad or too brutal - just a bit too easy.

Lynnean Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 hmmmm..... Relentless Devastators.... nice! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203345-too-brutal/#findComment-2424183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookielips Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 he would be more effective with IC. Attach his HG to him, all w PW/SS to soak high Str fire meant for him, and watch it kill 4x it's points in your entire campaign......

Leonaides Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 But IC is not a Universal special rule... I've seen some nasty things done with relentless - even on a tac squad with melta/multimelta (in a rhino doing drive-bys on Eldar vehicles so it has the manouvreability to get behind their holoshield things). A relentless Dev squad, or a fleet DC with JP's, or something that changes a useful unit into a very good unit is probably better than making an uber unit even uber-er.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 It all depends on what everyone else in your campaign decides to do with the USR. You may roll 3- then it's a non issue. It might be better if everyone could pick a USR but what do I know? Tank Hunting Devs with S10 lascannons is brutal versus mech lists. Think about what is your best option in terms of the big picture. Certainly infiltrating Mephiston would be a lot of fun for you. 0b :unsure: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203345-too-brutal/#findComment-2424473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher505 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Devs + rhino + relentless = win Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203345-too-brutal/#findComment-2424825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 agreed. Multimelta devs with relentless in a rhino or razorback. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203345-too-brutal/#findComment-2424924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Pickens Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yeah, its kind of a question of do you want to take a ridiculously powerful unit and make it even MORE ridiculously powerful? Probably getting one more turn of killing in with Meph would be nice... Or... do you want to take another unit that on its own might not be so fearsome (Devs with MMs or PCs), and turn it into very fearsome unit (Relentless) that demands attention immediately from your opponent, thus adding to your armies threat profile and making the army as a whole much more dangerous? Either will be fun, if you roll that 4+, but I know which I would choose 9/10 times...

Whitefireinferno Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hell Relentless Devs with any of their heavy weapons is brutal and come on the sight of 4 marines firing Heavy bolters on the move is EPIC.

PhantomPhoenix Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'd be a pretty huge fan of Hit & Run DC assuming that Rage wouldn't conflict with it. I don't think it would as the unit would have to stay 1 inch away from enemy models once they disengaged.

Firedrake28 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Death Company with Infiltrate? Come on, you know that'd be funny. A unit of Tactical Marines that plan on sitting on an objective with Stealth would be pretty cool too.
