henrywalker Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 so i have 80ish points left in my army list and i want to use it to get a big gun in there. i was thinking of getting a single obliterator and deep-striking him in the opponents midfield to take out anything big and scary i need him to. i'm not too sure though as he has no invulnerable save and i can see him being picked off pretty easily. also i don't know how useful he will be on his own. 1 lascannon is all well and good but it won't blow up a tank a turn. On the other hand the opponent really can't ignore him and will have to bring one of his units to bear to take him down. what do you guys think?

Wildcard101 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Obliterators have the Daemon rule, which grants a 5+ Invul Save... I'm surprised you even have a free Heavy Support slot. <_< Harassing unit, seems good to me, unless you have better options... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrywalker Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 well the only other 80 point thing im tempted by is a mastery 2 sorcerer to buss one of my units. i think i'll go with the obliterator for now, it feels more nurgley than the sorceror anyway.

minigun762 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Works for me, but I'd be more likely to start it on the table. Lascannons probably first turn then plasma cannon next most likely, just based on range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 well the only other 80 point thing im tempted by is a mastery 2 sorcerer to buss one of my units. i think i'll go with the obliterator for now, it feels more nurgley than the sorceror anyway. Isn't that 85 pts? Don't mean to be picky but if you only have 80 pts, that 5 pts might make the difference between make or break. As for what to take? I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Lord Asvaldir Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The variety of weapons obliterators are is awsome but I think they are too expensive...for the cost of 2 you could have 5 havocs with missile luanchers or autocannons. If you could take 50pts out of your list havocs instead. And as Wildcard101 said I'm surprised you have an extra heavy support slot...I tend to use all of those up quickly.

Pariah Mk.231 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm surprised you even have a free Heavy Support slot. -_- You can say that again, the only way my Iron Warriors could field all the Heavy Support options I own (and plan to soon add) is if they could somehow get triple-FOC!

Shuggnuggath Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 An aegis defence line with a lascannon that can shoot down fliers is 85pts btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
