c0ld3r Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hi, im new here. Looking at several lists posted here, there are several that have a plasma gun and a flamer in GH units. Is boosting overwatch capabilities the only reason for this or is my inexperience showing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pall Ironbear Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The Flamer is free, take that as the first choice, then you get the plasma.......free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwolfalpha Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Despite having the Gets Hot! rule, plasma guns are very versatile and scary. Also, anything that's free is always better. I always have a hard time choosing between a meltagun or plasmagun. I tend to blow myself up with the plasma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brom MKIV Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Its to save pts. Sometimes I like these choices sometimes not. Personally I prefer melta in pods, plas in max slogging packs and flamers for mech packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Brother 92 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 one that I'm going to try out is small GH pack - 1 WP w/ C-Flamer, 2x TDAWG w/ Heavy Flamers and 5 GHs w/ Flamer/Power Axe :) just as an early strike force vs an IG inf. army or Ork horde.

Brom MKIV Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I've been using an almost identical pack minus the WP, who isn't necessary IMO, and the unit has been great, one of my signature units although I use cbplasmas. I have recently switched to only 1 TDA + HF though since hiding 2 such models from retaliation is much harder. The damage output is missed but the survivability of the pack is nearly the same for 38 pts less. Just something to consider. Also I wouldn't recommend the extra axes because the unit WILL die.

You can not attached 2 Wolf Guard to the same pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely forgot that xD - thanks for reminding ;) guess it'll have to be a 10 man pack w/ 2 flamers and idk whether I go for 1 WP w/ c-flamer and 1 PAWG w/ C-flamer so I still get re-rolls or I go for just the one TDAWG where I get the 2+/5++ protection - what d'you think?

raiders13 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I like to run a TDAWG at the front of my packs to take all the wounds. That 2+ is awesome for eating up wounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
