BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I have been playing around with a 5 man squad with a Reclusiarch and Corbulo attached for their buffs. It's a very hard hitting unit. Originally I started with 4x lightning claws and 1x thunderhammer/stormshield. Recently I've been running 3x lightning claws and 2x thunderhammer/stormshield. What do you guys here find to be the best combo? I have a good friend who swears by 2x lightning claws and 3x thunderhammer/stormshield.

Firedrake28 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I personally go all thunder hammers, or one model with claws tops. I usually find that models with lightning claws are too easy to kill. The hammer armed models keep everyone else alive by virtue of tanking low AP wounds.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 I probably should have provided some more background as to the intent of the squad. They are basically my answer to other deathstars such as TWC and nob bikers. I like the lightning claws just for the large number of attacks plus rerolling both hits and wounds on the charge. I posted up a batrep recently about a battle with wolfstar. The lightning claw armed terms do indeed go down fast - I still like to have a solid number of attacks hitting at high initiative (includes Recluisarch and Corbulo) so I'm thinking 2x lightning claws and 3x thunderhammer/stormshield might be best. The squad is riding in a Stormraven so one inherent advantage to thunderhammers is when charging into difficult terrain.
