Colonel Falkenberg Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I've finally put my BA company together. The only thing left to build is a DC dread and 2 boxs of DC troops. I was going to run them as a 10 man jump troop, but now I've gotten the Stormraven itch... I'd like one for my GK and I'm thinking about running 1 or 2 for my DC. The question is should I get just one and run a ten man squad with a DCdread or run 2 5man JP squads each with a SR & DCDread? I have not really play fully with the BA rules, only 2-3 games sofar and never with DC... is a 5man DC JP squad viable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zynk Kaladin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I recommend reading this awesome piece of work. Go forth and tear off some heretic heads and be sure to leave "gifts" down their neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 ID say keep the JPs off- theyre too dear with. A rhino is a great delivery vehicle- you can boost 18" up and it becomes top priority, taking focus away from so much else in your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id also suggest a razor back with HB, a tank moving 12 inch towards a squad and firing a twinlinked HB takes a lot of focus away from your DC, also it can provide fire support or tank shock.I love this tactic.

vharing Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I prefer them in a drop pod or 10 without JPs in a SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezkh Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I've had great results with the 5 man JP squad. Definitely add a Chaplain/Lemartes/Astorath though. In a Stormraven is optional, but effective. Otherwise DC in a Rhino are great too. In a Rhino I like a double powerfist and bolters build. No Chaplain required. Essentially it comes down to your points. 10 DC in a Rhino are 300 and self-sufficient. 5 JP DC are 235 but adding on a Chaplain, a Stormraven, and a Dread will more than triple that meaning although they are an excellent trump, they need to win the game for you (mine often do.)

Colonel Falkenberg Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hmm... good points. Maybe I'll just SR my GK. Everyone hates them now as it is. ;) And go with a DC Rhino and run a 10 man squad. Thanks for the replys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
