Minsc Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 how does he win with 5 possessed doing melee and no frags ? Hardly everything sits in cover, at least not at my gameclub. Why not? Am I missing something? My plague marines love cover- keeps those silly tyranids and orks at bay and gives me some protection from artillery. We have alot of cover at my gameclub, and it's all lovingly crafted and painted, but we don't swarm the battlefield with it. I think you missunderstood my meaning: I didn't mean that we don't put stuff in cover because we choose not to put it in cover - I ment that there's usually not so much cover in each deployment zone to put your entire army in it.

Spacefrisian Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I learned that i should have bought the Maulerfiend instead of the Heldrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Willy Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 The lack of grenades worried me till I found out you can either charge from the side of cover, charge in support of standard marines or charge into an ongoing combat. None grenade assault units should never go past five they beat for saving a losing unit or to counter chargeing. My mates gun line is saved often by a possessed squad saving his lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilicate Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Got to play with my possessed on Friday - they were great. Loads of attacks, and while they died just as easily as any of the other marines in my army, they killed a zoanthrope, two units of termagants and the Tervigon that made them. I was mostly just happy I got to assault that game at all. Pretty happy with that unit in that particular game - plus they were frightening so they got shot at rather than my actual troops unit that was supporting them on that side of the board. Looking forward to using them next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastor Krieg Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Bike Nurgle Lord with something smashy as 2nd HQ, surrounded by 5-10 Nurgle Spawns. Loooots of ablative wounds, very fast and nice movement, good stuff all in all. Only shame the Spawn 4+ works only in Assault >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 how does one kill a biomancy tervigon with 5 possessed after fighting 2 units of tervigon , even if those squads were minimal spawns and the zoe didnt kill anyone , that is still an achivment .

Noctus Cornix Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Its not really that difficult if you give them the Mark of Khorne and Icon of Wrath, if you think about it. With the furious charge rule, they have all str. 6 attack that have a 1/3 chance of rerolling failed wounds. Can basically turn most monstrous creatures into Swiss cheese. Even without Khorne Upgrades, they can still potentially do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yeah but Possessed are supposed to be overpriced, crappy units because of the lack of grenades. To do so much would mean that someone miscalculated. And that just wouldn't be right. :jaw: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do so much would mean that someone miscalculated. And that just wouldn't be right. :) To be fair, they still are. Finding one niche use for them won't win you battles. OK, you can deck them out and hope you face Tervigons, and then you meet... Guard Blob? Grey Hunter spam? MSU GK? Tzeentch Daemon-bomb? Cron Air? And they're back to useless again. Every unit in the book have niche uses. That does not make every unit in the book a good unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsc Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I've run Possessed afew times (With MoS+Icon) this edition, and while they indeed are overpriced, they're still a very dangerous unit, and they've not let me down...yet. A Landraider is not mandatory, but it helps getting the most out of them. I've learned that Mutilators are as horrible and sucky as I suspected that they would be.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I had success last night in a game vs eldar. My MVPs were: Khorne Lord on Juggernaught and Axe of BF with invul. DP of Nurgle with Brand. Oblits with Nurgle. Cultists are nice ablative wounds for characters and are nice objective sitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RapatoR Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I found out that Whiners gonna whine. Anyway I am in love with boons. Really a shame that champs don't get rolls for killing MC/vehicles/squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
