Brother Lovejoy Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 So, I have a list currently with a techmarine with a conversion beamer in mind. I was hoping to use the aegis defense line for my anti-aircraft option. Is it possible to use bolster defenses on a fortification's cover save? Giving my aegis defense line a 3+ save instead of the 4+ would be quite nice for my stand back and shoot unit. In the fortification section, it does state that the aegis defense line is battlefield debris(defense lines).

Zeratul29 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 No you cannot, as in the FAQ it states that you cannot bolster a piece of terrain that you buy as part of your army, nice thinking though if we could :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258011-techmarine-and-fortification/#findComment-3139027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I thought Techmarines could only Bolster "Ruins" anyway, no? Did that change on me this edition? Not all Terrain are Ruins. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258011-techmarine-and-fortification/#findComment-3139040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeratul29 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The FAQ says all terrain which is nice :tu: but most of the time I'm going to bolster a ruin anyway Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258011-techmarine-and-fortification/#findComment-3139059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
treadhead Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If you're feeling truly evil stick a librarian with shrouding in there as well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258011-techmarine-and-fortification/#findComment-3141426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 My thinking would be; Reinforce nearby ruins with Tech-Marine Use Aegis line to cover gap between ruins/buildings Man Icarus lascannon with the Tech-Marine For added hilarity, 'Shrouding' Librarian sitting in the Aegis line can potentially reach both units in the Aegis line and in the ruins. Ruins units got to 2+, Aegis units go to 3+. Cue evil laugh.

Inquisitor Fox Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It becomes really frightening when you realize we can now fortify things like forests... just a thought :wallbash: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258011-techmarine-and-fortification/#findComment-3142196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Carmine Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It becomes really frightening when you realize we can now fortify things like forests... just a thought :) :lol: I've now got an image of a Techmarine nailing plasteel sheets to connect the trees and make things more defensible. Muttering under his breath all the time about the new Captain and how this would never have happened in the good old days. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258011-techmarine-and-fortification/#findComment-3142208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
