Jolemai Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 If you were to be having an Apocalypse game of say 5k-10k points with maybe three of four Super Heavies on the field, what would you put in a singular Drop Pod? Dreadnought? Death Company? Sternguard with Combi-Weapons? Other? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267765-a-single-pod/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calnus Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Quad-melta honor guard. Sternguard with 4 combi-meltas for around 10-20pts less, but you only get one shot.

Ushtarador Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 10x Sternguard, 2xmelta, 8x combimelta. Drop in, kill 2 superheavies, die :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267765-a-single-pod/#findComment-3261344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinful eyes Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I would use Furioso or DC dreadnought in a Lucious pattern drop pod. With the new 6th ed updates, we can now take it (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/i/IA2update28AUG.pdf). A dread with blood talons assaulting turn one? Yes please.

I would have to agree with this. For only a few points more you can have your Dreads on the assault in T1. Why would you want to take anything else?

Jolemai Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Thanks for the replies, I really like the idea of "upgrading" the pod to a Lucius variant and having a Furioso assaulting out of it. While the idea of Honour Guard could work, I think I prefer them to deep strike with that configuration. As for the Sternguard, lets just say that they are not one of my best performing units (read: they like to miss their melta shots). You don't advise having them half Melta and half Plasma/Flamer?

DominicJ Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I don't approve of using vets as suicide units. I also don't approve of brocolly.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267765-a-single-pod/#findComment-3266614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 It's apocalypse - they're all suicide units! I'd go for sternguard tbh, a furioso will only kill a single infantry unit...

Jolemai Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Unless you give it dual fists and charge a Super Heavy with it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267765-a-single-pod/#findComment-3266625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushtarador Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 You don't advise having them half Melta and half Plasma/Flamer? Well, usually yes. But its apoc, they want to kill vehicles not infantry :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267765-a-single-pod/#findComment-3266690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
