HighMarshalCatman Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 So I'm trying to make a full drop pod army and I originally was going to have 3 priests in it. But after thinking a little I realized I could drop the priests to take a third furioso and add a second melta gun to three assault squads. I figured this would take advantage of optimizing my shooting the turn I come in. What do you guys think, should I drop the priests?

JamesI Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Priests can be useful. If you keep them I'd give them Combi-meltas (or combi-plasmas) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232634-priests-in-a-drop-pod-army/#findComment-2798619 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'd say go for it. If you use beacons so you can pin point your second wave pods you should be able to use the preists 6" range to its full effect. I think the extra dread will be far more useful than a 3rd priest.

I think he means dropping all 3 priests to free up 150 points. I can't go without at least one priest. In my extraordinary experience of 6 games the one priest I had was awesome. 4 wins, 2 draws with the 2 draws becoming a shooty stalemate thanks to putting my remaining men in cover with a priest and they couldn't get shot, pretty much.

Fracture Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ah yeah, my mistake. In that case take the preists. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232634-priests-in-a-drop-pod-army/#findComment-2799014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
