kiwitexansfan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I am a bit of a sad panda that servitors are only free form the ricks of mindlock if they are with an inquisitor, surely they should also be free from mindlock in a techmarine is attached to them as they are in every other codex.

Irbis Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 What makes you think the Inquisitor would trust these suspicious guys in grey (who clearly use sorcery and daemon weapons!) with the keys to *his* servitors? :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225155-henchman-servitors/#findComment-2694361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyking Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Because those guys in grey are his subordinates? At least, thats what people are telling me about the new fluff.

kiwitexansfan Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Ultimately aren't all techmarines and servitors servants of the mechanicus and therefore loyal to the void dragon above all else?

Brother Valerius Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I don't think servitors can have loyalty, they're mindless. Techmarines... maybe? I would think that their loyalty is to the Emperor above all else, then the Machine God, but I'm just guessing and don't recall having read any specifics on that topic.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 If you take three plasma cannon servitors, three plasma gun acolytes (possibly with carapace), and then take a couple of Jokaero weaponsmiths, then add an Inquisitor with a psycannon, you have a potentially viscous firebase. With the weaponsmiths you have a chance of getting +12 inches on your range which would be very good.

I believe plasma cannon servitors are 0-1, it was in the playtest version and I don't think it was changed in the actual one.

RandomGuy Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 It's not 0-1, all the ranged weapons are 0-3 total. That was even the case in the playtest version (not that it matters now). So no the unit is completely legal, and worth every point, especially if you take an Inquisitor with a null rod and Psyocculum. BS10 plasma cannons tend to hit...

Joasht Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'd totally try them out, I see little reason not to give them a run. Three of them with Plasma Cannons is pretty cheap, and even though you need an Inquisitor to babysit them, you could get some monkeys in there to further boost their guns, and give your Inquisitor some decent shooty gear (like a Psycannon) to complement them.
