grimz Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi, I've tried looking around for advice on equipping my 5 man pally squad, not much info out there (that I've found). My main problem is what melee weapon to equip my Psycannon wielding paladins with. It's likely that they will run with Draigo, to help against S8 weapons ... not sure if that changes layouts. My ideas so far: Sword variant: 1: MC-Psycannon, Sword 2: MC-Psyannon, Halberd 3: Sword 4: Halberd 5: Daemonhammer Halberd variant: 1: MC-Psycannon, MC Halberd 2: MC-Psyannon, Halberd 3: Sword 4: Halberd 5: Daemonhammer Daemonhammer variant: 1: MC-Psycannon, Daemonhammer 2: MC-Psyannon, Halberd 3: Sword 4: Halberd 5: Daemonhammer I'm wanting to keep costs down as much as possible so probably looking at the sword or daemonhammer variants. Penny for your thoughts.. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244822-help-equipping-5-paladins/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 your MC both the psycannons , why ? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244822-help-equipping-5-paladins/#findComment-2960203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnowThyEnemy Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 because MC psycannons are hilariously awesome :). I MC the 4 of mine when i run my 10 man squad. id recommend the third option. i think 2 hammers is better than 2 swords. youll have draigo and 1 sword to soak up the power weapons/fists, 2 halberds to strike quick and 2 hammers to bop big things.

the jeske Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 but he is runing 2 not 4 and says he wants to cut points . re-rolling 2 misses in a GK army which should already be spaming psycannons seems like a waste , specialy as I he seems to want to make the unit cheaper.

number6 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 If you want to be cheap, then I agree: don't MC anything if you don't have to. For 5 guys, I'd do the following.... Halberd Hammer Psycannon/Halberd Psycannon/Sword or Psycannon/Hammer Sword :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244822-help-equipping-5-paladins/#findComment-2960289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Cuthbert Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I agree about dropping the MC. It's only 5 points but 10 points for two rerolls doesn't seem worth it to me. Now if you are planning on both wielding halberds or swords I can understand it for wound allocation, but it is just as easy to run two different melee weapons. Still I generally default to as many swords as I can get and still have unique equipment. But I generally prefer more resiliency over more killy.

grimz Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Mastercrafting aside im not gona magnetize my models which means Im probably going to be better off running a sword or hammer. @Jeske - most of your posts are concerned with optimising lists, whats your opinion on what equip the psycannon paladins?

Luis_CC Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Two days ago, I ran mine with: MC psycannon+hammer MC psycannon+falchions Falchions Falchions Hammer MC psycannon is a must in my opinion, because, as psycannon supposes 4 shots, you will probably use the "MC" option every turn.

grimz Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just realised I have only 1 hammer... so that cuts my choices down a bit ... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244822-help-equipping-5-paladins/#findComment-2961565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
