You mean, like they have always been? There's literally nothing new about this. Oh, absolutely. I never claimed otherwise. I thought this would be a "oh, shut-up" thread for the mods and they'd shut it down quick-time. I was just bored, contemplating a list and being frustrated at my lack of Elites slots. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Byhlli Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Could free up the Furioso slot by getting a DC dread, maybe? Sadly not. I had images of 3 Furioso Dreadnoughts landing from the skies on turn one, hopping out of their Drop Pods with frag cannon and heavy flamers blasting. Mmm, nine template weapons on turn one... *drool*.... I'd hoped I could complement them with Sternguard similarly dropping out of the sky, combi-meltas blazing. And then a Terminator squad or so deep striking in to mop up the remains of any large combat-heavy units. ;) Sadly, 'tis not to be. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Byhlli Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Planetstrike, my friend. Or, as one of my opponents dubbed it, "You brought how many Sternguard?" I rather like the sound of that! One of my friends plays a Pedro Kantor list with between four and six Scout Squads/Scout Bike Squads/Land Speeder Storms and an absolute boatload of Drop Podded Sternguard. Destroys stuff with crazy reckless abandon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may in fact be the only part of the book they actually bother looking at judging by say...C:SW. The E slot is always hardest for me to fill, in anything but a BA list.

Darligulv Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Could free up the Furioso slot by getting a DC dread, maybe? The DC Dreads get the added benefit of it's immunities and extra attack (and str iirc?)....Not the worst thing ever honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three solid template weapons per Dreadnought = massively dead troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesI Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Oddly, I never really use my elites other than priests. My mech army occasionally throws in Sternguard, I've considered assault termies. My jumpers use Sang Guard, but also Dante so they are troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 So there are three units that you like...all are elites...and the FOC has 3 elite slots. Where's the problem? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBMAKENZIE Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 think out side the box. theres plenty of ways for us to get Drop pod melta weapons. They might not be as generally useful as Sternguard but they are alot cheaper. How many points are you playing that you can manage to fill out all these squads??

Brother Chris Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well, the scouts and the Veteran Assault squads moved out of the elite slots, which was good, but the sanguinary priests (pretty obligatory, surely?) moved in, and some of the Furiosos became librarians, and the Sanguinary Guard emerged. So my ordinary terminators haven't been able to be fielded at all. And don't mention the poor old techmarine. At least in the pdf he didn't take up a slot. He doesn't get a loo in, even in planetstrike. (and meanwhile the VAS/Vanguards and the Baals arrived to clog up the fast attack slots, which used to be relatively clear.)
