Elric the Silvercoat Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I was thinking about a interesting set up A Xenos Inquistor with the Beam With some Gun Servitors with Plasma Cannons or Multi-Meltas. Two of the Weaponsmiths 4 Warriors with Hot shot Lasguns in a Chimeria its a weapons platform. What is your thoughts about this?

Chengar Qordath Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The big problem I can see with that unit is that the range on the various weapons do not match up very well. Hot-shot lasguns are 18" max (and really want to be in rapid-fire range), Multi-meltas are 24" max, Plasma cannons are 36" max, and a Conversion Beamer really wants to be at least 42" away for max strength/AP.

Well I was thinking the weaponsmiths maybe able to get the increased range on the weapons too and the reason for the hot-shot lasguns is the punish those the get too close to the chimera. Its just a thought. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233558-xenos-inquisitor/#findComment-2811707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

breng77 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 For a shooty unit I think that a Psycannon Ordo Malleus Inquisitor is probably better if you are mixing in Multi-melta servitors, Jokero, and Acolytes with Plasma guns. That way you are looking at everything with 24" range (36" if you roll the extra range), and everything being able to target the same targets. That said it is a little overkill as you can only fire 5 weapons out of the chimera to begin with.

Well if you have a Inquisitor with the Beam and 2 Gun Serivtor with Plasma Cannons and two Weaponsmiths you have two lascannons 2 Plasma Cannons and a Beam hitting form 48 inches with 3 and 36 inches with all 5. And that is without inceased gun sights. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233558-xenos-inquisitor/#findComment-2811898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
breng77 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yeah that is not bad, I just have an issue with the 36" range guns, as unless you get the longer range, your effectiveness with the conversion beamer is reduced.

Godhead Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I run a list with coteaz in a chimera with 3 plasma cannon servitors and 2 space monkeys along with Captain Ablative wound and his sidekick Buckey. I like this squad a lot. I've never gotten anything other than +1 armor save or +5i save from the monkeys. I was kind of blah at 1st about those results, but rolling a 3 up armor save vs overheats for my pc servitors is awesome, and coteaz sporting a 5 up invul was pretty nice vs an ork list as well. My henchmen owned some orks. It was crazy (space monkey heavy flamers were the real hero, but fun none the less).

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 That unit sounds pretty nasty. I can't wait to start experimenting with Inquisitors. :P G :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233558-xenos-inquisitor/#findComment-2812175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
