Brother-Captain Lucius Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Right so i am in the process of re-doing my DoA list and in not sure what would be better. Honour guard w/ jump packs, 3 meltaguns, Honour guard w/ jump packs, 3 plasma guns, sanguinary priest w/ jump pack, claw OR sanguinary Priests x 2, jump packs, claws, honour guard w/ jump packs, 3 plasma guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 hard to say without seeing the rest of the list. If I were doing a pure DOA list, I'd want probably 1 or 2 priests and an HG with meltaguns depending on points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Lucius Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 The rest of the list would be 2 librarians w/ jump packs, 3 full RAS squads w/ jump packs, hammer, 2 meltas, hand flamer. The last unit is a 5 man vanguard w/ jump packs, hammer, 2 claws, 3 SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Lucius Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 anyone else got an opinion on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 +ve's and -ve's on both, Honour Guard priests can't be targeted like normal priests but don't have as good stats and can't be upgraded, and obviously they can't leave the Honour Guard!! And the shooty plasma HG would have to roll close by to the RAS for them to feel its benefits which could mean they end up in close combat when they are really there for fire support, unless you maybe you could make them more 'choppy' :) Also bare in mind if you deep strike them than the HG may come in at different times to the RAS, so maybe 2 priests with a RAS each, and a libby with the remaining RAS, and the other libby with the one HG. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Lucius Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yeah was usually running Priest + Libby in RAS which worked out okay. But wanted to see if anything else works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I see shooty HG as a waste of points. They have much more potential as a choppy unit. G :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Lucius Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Plasma HG have yet to let me down. Hence why i keep using them. I have my vanguard to be choppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drachnon Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Well I think overall the honour guard's noviate is better. I don't like how priests pay half their own cost for a jump pack. I might try running a plasma honour guard as well at some point, sounds like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
