birdbath Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hi all, been a long time. I was wondering if anyone has ran 3 assassins and a load of death cult assassins to make a kind of assassins temple army? Also.... 1) Can you have 3 assassins? 2) Can I field a non grey knight army? 3) What 3 assassins would you run with? Thanks in advance, BB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245378-3-assassins/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 1) Can you have 3 assassins? Sure, you have 3 elite slots. The temple assassins are Unique though, so you can only field one of each. 2) Can I field a non grey knight army? Yes, if you take Coteaz as HQ, you can take henchmen as troops.

Drachnon Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'd personally go with the Vindicare, Eversor and Callidus as I'm not that big a fan of the Culexus.

Stormshadow Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I stopped using the Culexus when the new codex came out. But I am thinking about starting again. If you put him in a rhino and place that rhino next to a second rhino with a strike squad and a Land Raider with some terminators and an IC, he gets +5 shots. Some to think about… Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245378-3-assassins/#findComment-2968498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chengar Qordath Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'd personally go with the Vindicare, Eversor and Callidus as I'm not that big a fan of the Culexus. Seconded; the Culexus is way to dependent on meta-game to be universally effective. The fact that he only really works against Psykers makes him awesome against GKs, Thousand Sons or Eldar, and very underwhelming against Black Templars, Tau, or Necrons.

Sanct Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Don't many gk vehicle count as psykers? What about daemonhost + mystics? So park him in a landraider next to 6 rhinos with henchmen squads (each with at least 1 psyker in them) coteaz, a psyker inquis and 3 dreads for 20 shots...

Drachnon Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Getting 18 psychics within 12" is pretty hard, and any blast template will probably hit half your army. Had his range been bigger, let's say 24", I might actually have fielded him, though his second problem is that he only has 12" shooting range while he himself isn't that great in close combat (no power weapon).

barenone Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I always run 2 vindicares making a decent anti armor support. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245378-3-assassins/#findComment-2969982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmagi Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I always run 2 vindicares making a decent anti armor support. I hate to burst your bubble but the vindicare and all temple assassins are unique characters meaning you may only have one in your army.

barenone Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 That I did not know. You think about it fluff wise there are multiple of all types of assassins so I never thought about that. thanks for letting me know.

Aidoneus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Just for fun, I threw together an assassin-based army list, which you can see here. It's far from the best GK list out there, but I think it would work well enough to play in casual games and still hold its own.

barenone Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 ya i was ignorant I was looking more at draigo and pallys that i didnt even look to much in the assasin section which even when I played my sisters I only played one. Thats probably why the rule didnt stick in my head beacuse it didnt matter I only ever had one. I just got one for free so I didnt even think to look twice. Epic fail on my part.
