GodEmperorOfMankind Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 How do you envision it? I though there might be plasma front endery, but I guess we could just have a good look at forgeworlds offering Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264644-2000pts-of-volkite-awesomeness/page/2/#findComment-3234114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Excubitors Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I was curious about how destroyer squads work? Looking at the book it doesn't say they have Chain Fire or anything... so what is the point of the two bolt pistols? Is this just for looks or am I missing something and they can fire both in shooting? Thanks and as for my perception of Dorn's Sons, I would imagine that even old steadfast himself was tactical enough to keep at least SOME destroyer units on hand. Remember, he didn't really cast aside his psykers either.... he seems to be revealing himself as more pragmatic than he pretends to be... at least in recent Black Library work.

Brother Amarel Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I was curious about how destroyer squads work? Looking at the book it doesn't say they have Chain Fire or anything... so what is the point of the two bolt pistols? Is this just for looks or am I missing something and they can fire both in shooting? The Gunslinger rule in the main rulebook lets models armed with two pistols fire them both in the shooting phase.

Emperors Teeth Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Please tell me you considered a Moritat with dual Volkite Serpenta's? I don't even want to think about how many hits that would generate...

Olis Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 I did indeed consider it because, let's face it, the idea is awesome. It may very well be a feature for a revised list in the future. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264644-2000pts-of-volkite-awesomeness/page/2/#findComment-3315964 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 You don't have enough troops. What? ... ... ... Oh yeah. I'll sort that out promptly. Thanks. Edit: Switched the veteran tacticals for simple tacticals (because I initially forgot that the Praetor's rite of war make vet's troops choices...)

Olis Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Still needs more Volkites!!! I've had a look at the second list and I've decided it's only really there because I want a Moritat with twin serpentia (and some outriders). :rolleyes: Maybe I'll rejig the first list so that I can include a Moritat somewhere...

Moonstalker Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Very surprised that no one has caught this yet, but that Destroyer Squad you have specced is 260 points, not 185. I think you just forgot to add the cost of their jump packs in there.

Olis Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 I am back, once again, with a rejigged list. Let's hope I've got the points right this time.

depthcharge12 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 All you need is a Glaive and you'll do fantastic! :D As for anti tank...well I wouldn't worry too heavily or else you'll compromise the rest of the list. Keep the predator is reserve maybe. Unfortunately your 2 AT threats both have AVs themselves and can get wiped by a lone spartan on a good day. If as a last ditch effort, give your vets outflank and some melta bombs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264644-2000pts-of-volkite-awesomeness/page/2/#findComment-3637411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks, Depthcharge, outflank and melta bombs. Definitely something to consider. As I write, I'm putting together the coveted Moritat - I'll be proud of him when he's done (trading for a Loken was like pulling hen's teeth). I just gotta wait for Imperial Fist shoulder pads from FW now. I'm sure I can wait a little bit longer... ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264644-2000pts-of-volkite-awesomeness/page/2/#findComment-3637583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
