Max Power Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hey guys, Working through making my list, I keep coming back to Seeker Squads. I'm a huge fan of Sternguard in 40k, so that would explain why I'm dwelling on them. Has anyone had any experience using them? Thanks!

Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I use a ten man seeker squad with 8 combi plasmas and 2 combi meltas transported by a dreadclaw (Sons of Horus seeker squads can take dreadclaws as dedicated transports). That's 16 str 7 shots and 2 str 8, hitting on 2s with rerolls to hit - ouch! The dreadclaw is ideal to make sure they reach their target.

Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Good thanks dude. Built a 4000pts Sons of Horus army so all's good :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269058-seeker-squads/#findComment-3326600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
W0lfie Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I use a ten man seeker squad with 8 combi plasmas and 2 combi meltas transported by a dreadclaw (Sons of Horus seeker squads can take dreadclaws as dedicated transports). That's 16 str 7 shots and 2 str 8, hitting on 2s with rerolls to hit - ouch! The dreadclaw is ideal to make sure they reach their target. At the same time though, that is monstrously expensive. 435 points, which loses a huge portion of it's punch after the first shots are fired, and only gets the bonuses against a specific target. And is only as durable as ten normal marines (who only cost 100 points in 30k; less than a quarter the price!). Could work, but is very risky, and with this kind of price tag is only viable in huge games. 3000+, I'd say. Then again, 16 plasma shots re-rolling 'to hits' and 'to wounds'... Personally, everytime I see them, I see "twenty blasts per shooting phase" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269058-seeker-squads/#findComment-3326741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
