SevenExxes Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 This is just one idea to begin with as I don't have the rulebook yet. But first I'm going to start this by asking a question. Is the locator beacon on a Stormraven deployed once the Stormraven is placed on the board? Now for my idea. Bloods + Vanilla marines allied. Stormraven with a unit inside plus a dreadnought. 3 Stormtalons, one escorts the Stormraven, one escorts the unit inside, one escorts the Dreadnought. Fly in from reserves and blast the snot out of something. Now for another question. How far is cruising speed, 18" or 24"? ~Edit. Forgot to talk about the locator beacon. Ok, so the unit would use Skies of Blood rule for the no scatter disembarkation from the 'Raven along with the Dreadnought.

Morticon Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 only 1 of each Elite, Fast and Heavy - so - just one Talon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254983-some-thoughts-and-ideas/#findComment-3101973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenExxes Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 only 1 of each Elite, Fast and Heavy - so - just one Talon. :D ~Edit. Well, one Stormtalon will have to do. I like the model and I'm going to try it out in the near future. I think the combo has potential.

I'm just thinking of the possibilites but without the rulebook it's kinda hard. If it's only one of each than maybe a Thunderfire cannon could be used as fire support.

SevenExxes Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 With the new psychic powers an idea struck me: 5 librarians. Thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254983-some-thoughts-and-ideas/#findComment-3103411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezkh Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Libby Dreads don't get the new powers and Meltabombs are now AP1 and hit them on 4's, dangerous. Codiciers and Epistolaries with Divination are very good though. Just hope you don't roll badly for Perils! I'm thinking Corb's will be helping a few not to blow their brains up.

Do you have a quote that a Furioso librarian does not count as a librarian? Because I haven't read anything that states he doesn't According to the new FAQ BA Librarians may choose their Codex powers or choose new ones from Biomancy, Divination, Telepathy or Telekenisis. Since the Furioso is a BA Librarian... Shame I've got to wait two weeks to get my book, would have made good beach reading.
