Lord Kallozar Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hi, im wanting to find out how is best to run a 5 man terminator squad with calgar? Assault terminators? If so how should i equip them, all lightning claws or all hammers and shields? Or a mix?

greatcrusade08 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 i think its a mistake to put out a massive basket of I1 eggs, given that calgar is a mammoth beast in his own right at I1, why not run him with the claw termies instead, whittle down the enemy at initiative.

*Furyou Miko Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I do just read that as "I want to know the best way to run a 5 man terminator squad with a cigar".

Dam13n Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Well I would go: Calgar Terminator Sergeant with TH+SS (for challenges) 1x Terminator with TH+SS for dealing with AP2 wounds from the main combat/shooting on the way in. 3x Terminator with 2xLC for @Init. Wounds This way the sergeant challenges and either stops a character from attacking or takes him out of the main combat. You want Calgar in the main combat for 2+ look out sir and because he'll kill more guys that way.

Claw termies are unreliable in this plasma edition. IMHO, all th/ss is quite good. Sure, you'll lose some terminators before they swing, but generally you'll have enough S8 attacks to wipe out anything anyway.

Raven Angel Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'd go with the mixed squad. If they are dumping enough fire on you to burn through both SS you need to rethink you approach anyway.

Lord Kallozar Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Cheers guys for the opinions. i will probably be putting them in a land raider anyway. so land raider and mixed squad seems the winner?

Storm Raven would be better than a LR, IMHO. With 3++ shields and calgar's eternal warrior, getting shot down isn't too big of a deal anyway. :] Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272149-marneus-calgar-retinue-question/#findComment-3319446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
