Wildcard101 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm planning of fielding a unit of Inq. Henchmen composed mostly of 3 Warrior Acolytes with Meltaguns & 6 or 7 Warrior Acolytes with Stormbolters & 2 Jokaero Weaponsmiths. Would the unit be best left as themselves only or should I add an Ind. Char. with them? An Inquisitor with Psyocculum seems fun, is lurking at the back of my head...

Stormshadow Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 That’s a tricky question… If you want to get the most out of a Psyocculum I would suggest switching the melta Henchmen for Heavy Bolter or Plasma Servitors. Just running 3 melta acolytes and some extras for additional wounds in a Rhino is a good option, but using them with Jokaeros is a little iffy. The jokaeros can only fire heavy flamers on the move and acolytes with Plasma ore flamers would be a better combo with that.

Wildcard101 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 What I wanted from the Jokaeros are either the additional 12" range or the Rending rule... 36" Storm Bolters/ 24" Meltaguns Rending Storm Bolters.... Mmmmm... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245159-warrior-acolytes-with-stormbolters/#findComment-2965398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raus Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Remember that getting a specifik result on the table for Jokaeros (assuming 2 jokaoros) is only 27,7%. If you are only taking them for trying to get extra range, or rending, 70p isn't really worth it.

Drachnon Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think the squad would benefit from the improved save and the inv save as well though not as much as the increased ranged and rending. I've looked at the similar configurations, my biggest problem so far is how expensive the jokaero are and I'm not that big a fan of their models either.

RolandTHTG Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'd switch to plasma if you are including Jokero in the squad, as staying stationary will allow you to shoot 24" with the plasma and stormbolters. Melta generally will need to be on the move to get most effectiveness, which will also lose you the jokero shooting abilities. I use these models: MicroArt Servants for an Admech feel and a generally less ridiculous look.

Elric the Silvercoat Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 2 jokeros, 2 Plasma Servitors, and Inquistor with Con Beamer in a Chimera is a scary gun platform.

adienpryde Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I ran 3 melt a acolytes, 2 weapon smiths, cotiez and SB acolyts in a chimera in a 5 way and killed a carnifex on the tyranid turn with it coming in within 12" of the unit. 2 lazcannons and 3 melta shots brought it down to 1 wound with "I've been expecting you" then when it charged, it failed its dangerous terrain test when it charged after cotiez droped Sanctuary. I ran my acolytes as SoB in power armor and I ended with +1 armour from the weapon smiths and the 2+ armour was awesome.
